The Simpsons Beat South Park's Scientology Episode for Best Animated Series
Al Jean, longtime Simpsons producer who accepted the award for the show last night, acknowledged the controversy when he said, "This is what happens when you don't mock Scientology." He should know. Or so goes the rumor. It has been floating around that Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson and a Scientologist herself, refused to read a line that, well, mocked Scientology.
The episode that earned The Simpsons their Emmy award was The Seemingly Never-Ending Story, an innovative episode that featured flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. The episode featured the kind of intricate development that you don't get in shows such as Friends, Will & Grace, Ally McBeal or Everybody Loves Raymond. Each of which won a Best Comedy Emmy award the same year that The Simpsons was aired, but was never even nominated.

Scientologist should be a shamed of there selves
Well done Timothy, but I think the scientology story was better. They don't look at the whole years work. Just the shows summited. If you missed the show you can see it and the other scientology shows at http://www.scientomogy.com/
Hi Kevin, Tom Cruise's claim that he knew the history of psychiatry is silly. He is aware of how scintology thinks about it, but if he knew any of the science of it he never would have said what he did. I noticed you listed scientology sites so I will list one also. I will also list the critic's site so everyone can see and decide for themselfs. scientology.com, xenu.net and xenutv.com

I wouldn't agree that Tom Cruise's comments on Psychiatry were mis-informed.
The on-line Videos below may help understand why Tom Cruise speaks out about the dangerous treatments of psychiatry

I'm sorry I missed that. I'm even more sorry that I don't get any of the new episodes of Simpsons here in China. Out of all the things I could possibly miss, that is the most important.
