On the third episode of the current 20th season (!) of The Simpsons, Bart somehow changes roles with another man and as he arrives at his new home (among various McMansions) he catches a brief glimpse of our very own McDreamy and McSteamy.
Hilarious, animated likenesses of course ...
A couple of Grey's Anatomy spoilers from EW and TV Guide this morning ...
Q: Any Grey's Anatomy scoop?
A: Brooke Smith wasn't the only Seattle Grace staffer expunged under suspicious circumstances in the past year. Two other familiar, albeit lower profile, faces were given the boot, and I'm shocked eagle-eyed Grey's fans haven't picked up on it yet.
[INSIDER NOTE: Who was it? Does anyone know?]
Q: I'm dying for Christina and Owen to get together on Grey's Anatomy.
A: Well, this is certainly a positive step in that direction: Kevin McKidd has been promoted to a series regular.
Q: After watching the promo for the next episode of Grey's Anatomy, I must ask: Is there anything for Mer-Der fans to look forward to? You know, other than three women lying in Meredith's bed while Derek lives downstairs?
A: Well when you phrase it like that, you make me think that Melissa George's debut this week as Sadie, a college pal of Meredith's, will only further muddle things for the would-be Mr. and Mrs. Derek Shepherd. But maybe not. Consider this: Sadie's arrival will prompt Cristina - who feels displaced by her BFF's old BFF - to be a better sounding board for Derek, and that just might ease the tension in the lovebirds' overcrowded nest.
The revolving door at Seattle Grace Hospital sent Brooke Smith on her way last week, but this week the Grey’s Anatomy cast has a new, full-time member.
Kevin McKidd is joining the show as a series regular.
The Scottish actor, who plays Dr. Owen Hunt, and who starred in Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey earlier in the year, is thrilled to be added to the regular cast after his starring role on NBC’s sci-fi series Journeyman was cut short after 13 episodes.
“It’s a great show, and I’m lucky to be on it,” said McKidd, 35.
Dr. Owen Hunt is a trauma surgeon and veteran from the war in Iraq who has shown signs of becoming a great love interest for Dr. Cristina Yang.
Kevin McKidd, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Jane, and their two children Joseph, 8, and Iona, 6, says he is very happy to be working with Grey's Anatomy leading man Patrick Dempsey again, although their previous screen pairing was merely a coincidence.
“I got a knock on my door [from Patrick],” he says of his first day on set. “I said, ‘did you have anything to do with this?’ He said, ‘no, they don’t tell us anything.”
Below are five sneak previews of "These Ties That Bind," Thursday's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy. From the looks of it, there's a lot going on at Seattle Grace this week.
In the clip below, Meredith's old friend Sadie (Melissa George) shows up unannounced at her door - to the dismay of both Cristina and Derek, who lament things afterward ...
How Good a Friend Could She Be?
Funny stuff. Follow the jump for a quartet of additional sneak previews, including a confrontation between Derek and Owen, and the arrival of Dr. Dixon (Mary McDonnell) ...

Former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington - who was let go from the show after the end of the third season in mid-2007 (amid allegations of making homophobic slurs about gay co-star T.R. Knight) - is slamming the show for its recent firing of Brooke Smith.
"I looked at a brilliant actress, whom I have adored since I first saw her in Silence of the Lambs," Washington says in the November 17 issue of TV Guide.
"For her to be treated this way, I find very interesting."
After Brooke Smith was let go, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes released a statement last week insisting she "was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian" and did not think the "chemistry with Brooke's character would sustain in the long run."
Regardless, Isaiah Washington says the move was harsh.
"The fact is that, just before the holidays, you have a mother, a wonderful actress removed from a steady income without the proper reasoning behind it," he said.
"You look at the way another consummate professional [is] being treated because her character, her story line [has] potentially made producers uncomfortable."
He says Shonda Rhimes is getting the raw deal.
"Now that I see what they're doing to a show that I love and I care about, I think it's disgusting," Isaiah Washington said. "The fact that Shonda has been put in this position is extremely unfair. It's unfortunate because it was probably, at the time, the most progressive show on television. Now I see it [being] systematically torn apart."
How can the show be fixed?
"Bring Burke back!" Washington says.
Would he return to the show, despite all the drama? "Absolutely!"
Below is the promo for this week's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy, "These Ties That Bind," that aired at the end of last week's show. Looks like a particularly intense one.
