The episode, titled “Brick Like Me” will see Homer wake up in a new kind of Springfield – one in which everyone and everything is made out of Legos.  As the episode’s logline asks: “Can he ‘put together’ how he got there and somehow figure out how to get home before he is stuck in a world of bricks forever?”

The special Lego episode is also the series’ 550th show.

But wait, there’s more!

You can also own your own set of Simpsons Legos, with this 2,500+ piece set that includes lego versions of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Maggie and Ned Flanders.  Just be prepared for that $199.99 price tag.

The Simpsons returns with two new episodes on March 9th, beginning at 7:30 PM, and beginning in August 2014 FXX will become the show’s cable home and begin airing the previous 24 seasons in syndication.

“For more than a quarter of a century, The Simpsons has captured the hearts and minds of fans in a way that transcends ages, languages and cultures,” said FOX Chairman of Entertainment Kevin Reilly. “This groundbreaking series is not only the longest-running scripted show in television history, it’s one of the greatest sitcoms of our time, and I’m looking forward to yet another landmark season.”

There had been some speculation that the series could be on its last legs, considering that it went into this season without having secured a renewal. Contract negotiations between the cast, creators, and network were rather messy the last time they were forced to come to the same table, but this time, it was a much quieter affair that keeps Animation Domination alive for at least one more season. The only show that will be leaving the lineup is American Dad!, as it moves to TBS for its next season, so midseason offering Murder Police has a fairly strong shot at sticking around if it performs even near the level that it needs to. However, there’s always a chance that FOX could use the changing of the guard to attempt to reintroduce live-action comedy back into the lineup, especially if Murder Police is a bust and they don’t have enough time to order a new animated series for 2014-2015.

The Simpsons airs Sundays at 8:00 on FOX.

How long do you think The Simpsons can conceivably last? With the renewal of The Simpsons and Bob’s Burgers, in addition to an earlier renewal of Family Guy, will FOX decide on an animated comedy to replace American Dad! or could they introduce live-action to Animation Domination? Are you surprised that FOX has been so active on the renewal front in the opening weeks of the season?

Al Jean, executive producer of the animated series dropped hints about the 25th season last week, one of the biggest being a plan to kill off a regular character.

Jean gave a clue that the actor voicing the character has won an Emmy…but that’s it.  Of course, the hint doesn’t provide much help, as much of the regular cast including Dan Castellaneta (Homer), Julie Kavner (Marge), Nancy Cartwright (Bart), and Yeardley Smith (Lisa) have all won Emmys for their performances.  Several guest actors have also won for their spots.

The Simpsons has previously killed off Maude Flanders, wife of the cheery neighbor Ned (season 11), and more recently, Fat Tony in season 22.

Who do you think it could be?

Jean also hinted a Stan Lee-officiated wedding for Comic Book guy, and a possible Futurama crossover for the season finale.  He also noted that Guillermo del Toro will be on-board for the annual Treehouse of Horror episode (airs Oct. 6th), and that actors Zach Galifanakis and Elisabeth Moss will be lending their voices.
