This is the closest you’ll ever get to finding out if the carpet really does match the blue drapes.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons, Playboy will feature Marge Simpson in their November issue. The details of the “shoot” aren’t many, except for Hugh Hefner’s tweet and TMZ saying that she’ll be posing in a bunch of sexy cartoon lingerie.

The most famous television family now has its own set of postage stamps. The Simpsons are the first TV characters to have their own exclusive stamp while their show is still in production. The show’s executive producer, James L. Brooks, had this to say:

We are emotionally moved by the Postal Service selecting us rather than making the lazy choice of someone who has benefited society.

The Simpsons entered the HD era with yesterday’s episode – “Take My Life, Please” - and to make the event more memorable, the show now has a new title sequence. Yes, that’s right, the opening sequence we all got used to and that had been on the show since it first aired almost 20 years ago got revamped. But don’t worry, the gist of it is still the same. Bart is still writing on the chalkboard, Maggie still has her own steering wheel, and the final part where something weird happens when the family gets to the sofa is still there. It’s basically the same but with some added twists, namely a lot of characters that didn’t show up in the original.

You can see the new opening sequence below:
