"[In one episode] Jane Kaczmarek of MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE plays a judge who punishes Bart by shackling him to Homer," revealed Jean. "[In another] Homer gets his jaw wired shut and it makes him into a really decent, wonderful human being. There's a show where Homer gets addicted to medicinal marijuana, [and one where] Bart creates an Internet cartoon based on Homer [who becomes] a laughing stock all over the world. And we have a show where Marge finds out that the sugar producers are trying to illegally pump sugar into all the Springfield food and it's like Erin Brockovich."
"In our Halloween show the Simpsons get a computer to run all of their home appliances, which develops a crush on Marge and wants to kill Homer," he added. "[It's] a little bit of 2001. In the same episode there's a Harry POTTER satire timed to the movie."
Jean also mentioned that this season will continue to see the celebrity guest casting that has become a staple of THE SIMPSONS. Look for appearances by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Richard Gere, Pierce Brosnan, Dennis Weaver, and Jon Lovitz this year.
