Love Is in the Air in Springfield and THE SIMPSONS Fans Get to Play Cupid
Will they or won’t they? SIMPSONS fans will have the opportunity to decide the future of Springfield’s newest “it” couple, “Nedna” – NED FLANDERS (Harry Shearer) and EDNA KRABAPPEL (guest voice Marcia Wallace) – who have found love.
Following the all-new “The Ned-liest Catch” season finale episode of THE SIMPSONS, airing Sunday, May 22 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX, fans can decide the future of “Nedna” at www.thesimpsons.com by voting “Pro Nedna” or “No Nedna.” All summer long, “I’m Pro Nedna” and “I’m No Nedna” wallpaper, videos, Twitter badges and Facebook icons will be available for fans to download and post. After the fan voting ends in August, results will be revealed during the Season 23 premiere airing this fall on FOX.
In “The Ned-liest Catch,” feeling guilty for getting Ms. Krabappel suspended after one of his school pranks, BART (Nancy Cartwright) helps her escape detention, and Ned Flanders winds up saving her life in the process. When Edna and Ned start dating, he is surprised to learn she’s been with many of Springfield’s men, including HOMER (Dan Castellaneta) and Aerosmith drummer JOEY KRAMER (guest-voicing as himself).
