Mr. Burns from 'The Simpsons' may be known for his evil overlord-like demeanor in fictional Springfield. But humor mag MAD felt the octogenarian (or is he a centenarian?) has said things on the show that could've also easily been said by 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Sunday night, 'The Simpsons' payed homage to HBO's 'Game of Thrones' with an opening that gave Springfield a Westeros-style makeover. The sequence featured all the maps and gears that mark the beginning of a 'Game of Thrones' episode and also had 'Simpsons'' characters dressed in medieval garb.
'The Simpsons' have already made an indelible mark on fashion. Who can forget all those Bart Simpson T-shirts that everybody wore back in the '90s?

‘The Simpsons,' that prime time television show we all love, has done the impossible by staying on the air for 22 years and 500 episodes. This exceptional milestone was reached on Sunday evening on Fox. But is it still as good at 500 episodes as it was at 100?
After 23 seasons of laughs, it's hard to imagine a world where 'The Simpsons' aren't on television. In addition to being the longest-running scripted series in TV history, 'Simpsons' quotes and references have become part of our daily vernacular.

But after 23 seasons of the long-running cartoon, it can be difficult to keep all of Bart's chalkboard mantras straight. Fortunately, CableTV.com has gathered them all in honor of the show's 500th episode.
When we heard about 'The Simpsons' Ultimate Fan Marathon Challenge, in which 'Simpsons' fanatics would compete to see who could watch all 500 episodes of Springfield's finest in a row, we said it couldn't be done. Eighty-six hours and 37 minutes of continuous TV watching without any sleep just seemed too much for any human to endure, even though 'Simpsons' fans are made of strong stuff (and also beer and doughnuts).
It turns out we were wrong.
If you happen to be in Los Angeles, and don't have any plans until Monday, we have the perfect activity for you. The Simpsons Ultimate Fan marathon Challenge, which celebrates TV's longest primtime scripted show's 500th episode.
