THE SIMPSONS EPISODES FOR MAY

Following are the four new episodes of The Simpsons scheduled by Fox for May. All new episodes air at 8 p.m.

"THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF FAT TONY" ON MAY 1

Fat Tony (guest voice Joe Mantegna) and Selma (Julie Kavner), Marge's (Kavner) painfully blunt sister, fall in love and get married after a whirlwind courtship. Marge has her reservations about the couple's marriage after Selma begins to prioritize her looks and ritzy new lifestyle over her family, so Fat Tony invites Homer (Dan Castellaneta) and Marge to a weekend getaway at the Jersey Shore. Meanwhile, Bart (Nancy Cartwright) discovers a special talent that allows him to detect the location of truffles by smell, and Lisa (Yeardley Smith) jumps at the chance to capitalize on the rare culinary treasures.

"HOMER SCISSORHANDS"ON MAY 8

After Homer discovers a genius talent for styling hair and opens his own salon, he becomes Springfield's most in-demand hair stylist. But having to listen to women's problems and gossip all day long leads Homer to believe his gift may actually be a curse. Meanwhile, when Milhouse (Pamela Hayden) decides to live each day to the fullest, he comes out of his shell and professes his love for Lisa, only to have his heart broken. Milhouse then catches the eye of popular fifth-grader Taffy (guest star Kristen Schaal), causing Lisa to make a bold move.

"500 KEYS" ON MAY 15

When the Simpsons discover a collection of keys to every door in Springfield, Lisa stumbles upon an eerie hidden classroom beneath Springfield Elementary School. When she shares her discovery with Principal Skinner (Harry Shearer), the secret room mysteriously disappears and he takes the only key away. A determined Lisa uses her detective skills to lead her back to the room to solve an old school mystery.

"THE NED-LIEST CATCH" -- SEASON FINALE ON MAY 22

Feeling guilty for getting Mrs. Krabappel (guest voice Marcia Wallace) suspended after one of his school pranks, Bart helps her escape detention, and Ned Flanders (Harry Shearer) winds up saving her life in the process. When Edna and Ned start dating, he is surprised to learn she's been with many of Springfield's men, including Homer and Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer (guest-voicing as himself). Also, The Simpsons launches a soon-to-be-announced fan initiative that will change the lives of two of Springfield's favorites.
