Fox has released images from "A Tree Grows in Springfield," the episode of The Simpsons premiering on Sunday, Nov. 25.
Here's how Fox describes the episode:
"Lisa tries to cheer up a down-in-the-dumps Homer by winning him a 'MyPad' at the school auction. But he falls back into a funk when he breaks the magical tablet device -- until Ned Flanders discovers a miracle tree in the Simpsons’ backyard with bark that spells the word 'HOPE.'"

MAN OF STEEL TO BE AVAILABLE IN 3D
Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures have announced that Zack Snyder's new Superman movie, Man of Steel, will be presented in 3D in select theaters, as well as in 2D and IMAX, on June 14.
"The film is going to be a visually exciting experience in all formats: 2D, 3D and IMAX," Snyder said. "Anticipating how audiences today embrace 3D, we designed and photographed the movie in a way that would allow Man of Steel to captivate those movie goers, while respecting fans who prefer a more traditional cinematic experience. We've taken great measures to ensure the film and the story come first, and 3D is meant as an enhancement."
Man of Steel stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, Harry Lennix, Michael Kelly, Richard Shiff, and Russell Crowe.
The movie is produced by Charles Roven, Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay was written by David S. Goyer, from a story by Goyer and Nolan. Thomas Tull, Lloyd Phillips and Jon Peters are the film's executive producers.
