Squandering much of the good will engendered by the franchise’s silver-screen debut, “The Simpsons”19.1 is mired like so many of the series' 21st century episodes in bizarre comedic misfires (Homer puts lotion on a firearm! Homer makes Lionel Ritchie gratuitously insert the word “beer” into his lyrics! Otto rides a giant tortoise naked!) destined to keep discerning viewers away at least one more season. The best part of the installment is its homage -- in an all-new title sequence -- to "The Simpsons Movie." Which is then immediately forgotten as Homer employs a pair of bowling shoes in a quest to overcome his festering envy of Monty Burns’ private jet. Stephen Colbert, who has already provided the voices of better characters like Professor Impossible, Tek Jensen and Ace of the Ambiguously Gay Duo, tonight turns up as Colby Krause, a not-very-good life-coach.

“King of the Hill” is getting a little respect!
Starting with its 11th season premiere this Sunday, Fox has moved the animated saga of Texas propane maven Hank Hill to the much better 8:30 p.m. Sunday timeslot, between “The Simpsons” and “Family Guy.”
And now comes word that Fox’s best sitcom has been renewed for a 12th season. “Larry Labia” writes:
Hey Guys,
On the official "King of the Hill" myspace page (www.myspace.com/officialkingofthehill), they have announced that the show has been renewed for a 12th season beginning in 2008. This hasn't been announced in the trades yet, so it's a nice scoop for us fans.
