Catch THE SIMPSONS early!

THE SIMPSONS starts it’s 18th season this Sunday at 8PM (a nice change from the recent trend of starting the season in November after baseball). But if you can’t wait two days to get your Homer Fix (mmmm, Homer), FOX is releasing the start of the episode early.

The first seven minutes will be streamed on a bevy of sites owned by the network’s News Corp. parent, including MySpace.com, Fox.com and igntv.com. As Homer is one to say “mmmmm, corporate synergy.”
