Notes from Tweet Along with Al Jean for last night’s ‘The Simpsons’

 

FOX surprised everyone before the premier of Animation Domination by bringing on cast and crew for every show by for a Tweet-along. For The Simpsons, we got a few tweets from executive producer Al Jean that helped bring insight to the episode that aired last night on FOX entitled ‘What to Expect When Bart’s Expecting’. Here are highlights from Al’s session:

 

PSA: In the main title, notice that Marge is looking at her flip phone while smashing the car into Homer.

I’m curious how The Simpsons are going to do the couch gag for the LEGO/Simpsons cross-over. Like will they have it in the style of LEGO or does the show go in a completely different direction?

So there it is folks, there are your highlights for Al Jean’s Twitter rant for last night’s The Simpsons. The producer DID mention that The Simpsons are all-new the next few weeks so it will be interesting to see if Al does the Tweet-along again. 

The Simpsons are all-new this Sunday Night @ 8 pm ET/PT, check your local listings!
