1. Simpsons
   The Simpsons' opening sequence is one of the show's most memorable hallmarks. Most episodes open with the camera zooming through the show's title towards the town of Springfield. The camera then follows the members of the family on their way home. Upon entering their house, the Simpsons settle down on their couch to watch television. The opening was created by David Silverman, the first task he did when production began on the show.[58] The series' distinctive theme song was composed by musician Danny Elfman in 1989, after Groening approached him requesting a retro style piece. This piece, which took two days to create, has been noted by Elfman as the most popular of his career.[59]
2. The Simpsons -- Characters
   Yes, The Simpsons has indeed gone WAY down hill. A recent poster put it well: The humor now seems strained. No wonder, they way they kept screwing around with the characters; the original character concepts allowed for endless laughs. Change the characters, you change the jokes. Inferior characters, inferior jokes.
3. Simpson -- Care Comm
   Simpson began her career at Boeing 17 years ago as a design engineer on the MD-11 program for McDonnell Douglas in Long Beach, Calif. Nine years later, she was selected to work in the high-potential rotational program. This career development opportunity exposed her to various areas of engineering and launched the start to an impressive career in Supplier Management.
4. Tony Hancock -- Alan Simpson
   Tony Hancock had appeared in Worker's Playtime and Variety Bandbox where he was, by all accounts, pretty dreadful. But in 1951 he appeared in a show called Happy Go Lucky, starring Derek Roy; and his scripts were written by two young scriptwriters Alan Simpson and Ray Galton. They became so necessary to Hancock that when, years later, he turned away from them, he found his genius deserting him, and slid rapidly down-hill to a tragic death.
5. Jessica -- Stars
   Jessica seems to be in her best shape ever. Several reports suggest that her body is superbly toned and her dressing is immaculate. What is the big inspiration behind this. Surely it's more than the filming of "Major Movie Star"? This goes even further. According to her father, Joe, she is returning to her Texas roots and will be recording a country album.
6. Television Program -- Shows

8. Longest Yard -- Movies
   "The Longest Yard" may be a football film, but on the day MTV News visited the set, everyone was playing basketball. Partly to pass the time and partly to capture an important scene in the movie.
9. The Longest Yard -- Movies
   In The Longest Yard, prison becomes a sort of tough guy frat house. Cool music, buff dudes, lots of exercise, great camaraderie, tons of free time. It's only those pesky guards and their rules who ruin the fun. Romanticizing prison is bad enough, but all could and would be forgiven if the movie were funny. But it isn't. In fact, it is shockingly unfunny, the opposite of funny, the antithesis of funny.
10. Natalie -- Years
    Natalie's husband Mitch was a Navy fighter pilot who was killed in Kosovo in 1998. They have a daughter named Julie, who is now 16 (she was 12 when first introduced). Julie has been raised to believe that her father died heroically, but in fact the details of his death are very murky, and he may have been trying to desert when he was killed.[7] Before he died Mitch gave Julie a pet fish named "Mr. Henry," which Natalie has been secretly replacing each year so Julie doesn't realize that the original fish died[8].
