A new episode airs tonight in North America, titled “Moms I’d Like To Forget”. Very little has been revealed about this episode, which probably means there are no guest stars or gimmicks Fox feel the need to promote.
When Bart discovers that a fifth grader has a scar identical to one Bart has, Marge tells him about a club of mothers she was in once where they set playdates for their kids; when she tries to reform the club, things turn out better for Marge than they do for Bart.

Jane Lynch is lending her voice to an episode of The Simpsons, EW has learned exclusively. Lynch — whose Emmy-winning performance as Glee’s menacing Sue Sylvester earned her a Golden Globe nomination on Tuesday — plays Roz, Homer’s new assistant at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. “This woman seems terrifically nice, but then it turns out she’s just completely undermining him every step of the way and gets his job — until he can discover her one weakness with the help of Ned Flanders,” explains Simpsons executive producer Al Jean.
Jean notes that it was an easy decision to cast Lynch as the duplicitous Roz: “She can do edge, sweetness, and a mix of both,” he says of the actress, who recorded her lines last week. “I’m just embarrassed we didn’t ask her before she was so successful because she’s funny in everything she does. We were very happy when she said yes.” The episode, titled “Replaceable You,” is slated to air early next season. Three of Lynch’s Glee co-stars — Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, and Amber Riley — guest-starred on the first episode of this season.
Donnie Fatso airs tonight in North America. Homer spends New Year’s Eve in the Springfield Penitentiary after getting caught bribing an official. An FBI investigator (Jon Hamm) offers to reduce his jail time if Homer agrees to go undercover as an informant to investigate Fat Tony. When Homer forges a special bond with Fat Tony and his family, he becomes conflicted between his obligation to the government and his loyalty to his new family. After an unexpected turn of events, Fat Tony’s cousin Fit Tony (Joe Mantegna) seeks to settle a score with Homer, but winds up teaching him an important lesson.
Airing tonight is How Munched Is That Birdie In The Window. Description follows:
Bart helps nurse an injured pigeon back to health. After Santa’s Little Helper eats the bird, Bart has a hard time coping with the loss. Worried that Bart needs some help getting over the loss, Marge and Homer take him to a therapy session with Dr. Thurston, who advises that the only cure for Bart’s blues is to give away the family dog, but when the Simpsons visit the pup’s new home, a shock causes them to rethink their decision.
Don’t miss tonight’s new episode ‘The Fool Monty’.
After learning that he is suffering from multiple illnesses and has only a few weeks to live, Mr. Burns becomes distraught by the town’s less-than-sensitive reaction to his announcement. Following an unexpected turn of events, Bart finds Mr. Burns weak and vulnerable in the wilderness and secretly takes him into the Simpsons’ home. But when Homer and Marge learn about their new houseguest, they decide it’s payback time, and Lisa, determined to stand up for Mr. Burns, learns that old habits die hard.
A total of 8.97 million viewers watched last night’s new episode ‘Lisa Simpson, This Isn’t Your Life’. These are the highest figures so far this season, which is great news coming off the back of an official announcement regarding the renewal up to Season 23. The numbers were helped by a Football overrun, but certainly shows that there is a casual audience out there that is prepared to watch new episodes of The Simpsons.
Family Guy managed to score 7.0 million viewers at 9.00pm, below average and quite a large loss to The Simpsons. The Cleveland Show had 6.72 million viewers at 8.30pm, and American Dad finished the night with 5.37 million viewers.

With only two new episodes left, Season 21 continues tonight in North America with an episode titled ‘ The Bob Next Door’. We don’t have much on the plot except for a brief synopsis:

A bomb squad mistakenly blows up Homer’s unattended gym bag, releasing radiation into the city and authorities react by suspending civil liberties.

Authorities install an overload of surveillance cameras – which her majesty the queen (Eddie Izzard) enjoys as a reality tv show. Meanwhile, Lisa becomes fed up with being blonde, so she dyes her hair a dark color.
For “Fox Rocks,” the Simpsons characters sing along to pop sensation Ke$ha’s smash hit “TiK ToK” during a special musical couch gag.
A total of 5.93 million viewers tuned in to watch last night’s new episode ‘Chief Of Hearts’. These figures are a slight improvement over what we’ve been seeing recently. Fox was last overall for the night in total viewers, as well as in the target 18 – 49 demographic. This is due to most of their lineup being reruns (The Simpsons and American Dad being the only exceptions). The Country Music Awards on CBS won the night, but probably didn’t take away much of Fox’s demographic.
At 7:30pm, a rerun of Rednecks and Broomsticks attracted 2.46 million viewers. Reruns of The Cleveland Show and Family Guy followed The Simpsons with 5.09 million and 6.03 million viewers respectively, while a new American Dad had 5.17 million.
