The Simpsons have now been on the air for 25 years—and, according to the Mirror, last week’s episode reached an all-time ratings low . Now, I’m not saying they’re desperate… I’m just going to show you this new trailer for The Simpsons upcoming LEGO-themed special titled “A Brick Like Me” (FOX, Sunday, May 4, 8 pm). In it, the Simpsons have been mysteriously transformed into LEGO characters, which I’m sure has NOTHING to do with the recent success of The LEGO Movie. Guys—they came up with this idea all on their own! And you can tell, because it’s kind of terrible. Check it out and let me know what YOU think!
