Speaking of The Simpsons:
Coming Soon
'Simpsons' to hit big screen.

Woo-hoo! In the most eagerly anticipated TV-to-film animated adaptation since "Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie," "The Simpsons" are heading to the big screen, reports Variety. Details are still, er, sketchy, with no info on when Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, little Maggie, and the rest of Springfield's colorful population will make their celluloid debut or what the storyline will involve.
"This is our idea of how to whip up enthusiasm for an idea that hasn't been formed yet," "Simpsons" overlord James L. Brooks deadpanned in a statement.
"We've got a very good and interesting idea, and it's different from the show," Mike Reiss, a writer for the long-running Fox series, dished to DVDFanatic.com. "You know, it's like the 'South Park' movie where it's just a bigger, longer, amplified version of the show."
While Homer might believe that "trying is the first step towards failure," we have high hopes for the project, which a Fox exec cautions is still "in the very early stages" of development. Variety says creator Matt Groening is involved, as are veteran scribes George Meyer, Al Jean, David Mirkin, and Mike Scully.
Don't worry if you miss the movie when it comes out. We figure "The Simpsons: The Movie: The Novel" by Norman Mailer (who also penned the "Itchy and Scratchy" novelization) won't be far behind.

Funny that "The Littlest Groom" is getting bashed for being offensive and insensitive, but I haven't heard too many complaints about BFOF.
Not only is the guy obnoxious, but it also sends the message that a pretty girl would NEVER marry a fat guy. If the show was called "My Big Body-Builder Obnoxious Fiance", it wouldn't create the same effect.
I'm not fat, and I can't believe how many people refuse to take responsibility for their obesity/health, and I think fat people need to stop complaining and start exercising, but BFOF is yet another example of how reality-TV adds NOTHING to society and only appeals to our lowest common denominator.
What next, My Big Fat Retarded Fiance? How about My Big Fat Deaf Fiance?

Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancee is the best show on TV now by far. Anyone who hasn't seen it is really missing out. To the person that criticized it: LIGHTEN UP! The point of the show is NOT to bash fat people but rather show what happens when an "uptight but "polite" family mingles with a bunch of rude jerks. It's a classic and the actor that plays the loudmouth fiancee is fantastic!!!
It's kinda like what would happen if Ron Jeremy got engaged to Tammy Fay Baker.
That is another hysterical show by the way, "The Surreal Life". Watching Tammy Fay cry when they went to a nudist colony shows you what's wrong with this country. The right wing uptight nuts have serious issues. Life is too short to be so serious and uptight!

I agree about people needing to take responsibility for their weight/health, but this actor isn't complaining to anyone that he's fat. It's just his lifestyle choice.
The difference between this show and big fat retarded or big fat deaf fiancee is that this guy is portraying qualities that are chosen by the given person. He chooses to be overweight by his lifestyle and he is choosing to be obnoxious. The majority of americans seem to choose to be the same. People that are retarded or deaf do not choose to be.
