"The Simpsons" Helps Huell Howser Celebrate His 25th Anniversary on PBS

The folks at "The Simpsons" are quite fascinated by KCET host Huell Howser and his "aw, shucks" TV brand -- so much so that Howser has been parodied on the show in the past as "Howell Heuser."

Now, to mark Howser's 25th anniversary with KCET, "The Simpsons" has produced a special greeting from Homer -- and Howser will even be featured in the Dec. 13 episode of "The Simpsons."

"Yes, everyone at 'The Simpsons' does a Huell Howser impression," Matt Groening recently told the L.A. Times. "We all love him. I have on my permanent do-not-delete TiVo Huell's visit to the Bunny Museum. I hear, but haven't seen, that Huell's climb up a wind turbine tower is a classic. At the show we all love HH so much that after first sending him up, we had HH play himself in an upcoming episode."
