Macy, Michael York, boxer Joe Frazier, Kelsey Grammer returning as Sideshow Bob and � to the delight of Patty and Selma � Richard Dean Anderson.

Now in its 17th season, THE SIMPSONS has been critically praised and bestowed with numerous honors, including a Peabody Award, 21 Emmy Awards, 21 Annie Awards, three Genesis Awards, eight International Monitor Awards and five Environmental Media Awards.
