Television's long running animation series kicks off its 25th year and it's about to do something to keep viewers tuned in.
The Simpsons kicked off its 25th season this past Sunday with a Homeland-esque episode. News today, however, has come that producers are planning to kill off a regular character this season. The Simpsons hasn't killed off a regular character since 2000 when neighbor Maude Flanders was t-shirt bazooka'd off a stadium. Executive Producer Al Jean has given one clue, "the actor playing the character won an Emmy for playing that character." Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Hank Azaria, and Kelsey Grammer are just a few actors who have won Emmys for their voice-over work and play regular characters.
While no word on when the death will take place, a short list has already begun to form of potential victims which include: Apu, Sideshow Bob, Patty or Selma, and Grandpa Abe Simpson.
