The Simpsons returns with all new-episodes Sunday, Jan. 7 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. In preparation for the New Year, Homer, Marge and many of their fellow Springfieldians vow to change their ways in 2007:

• Homer – I resolve to lose 10 pounds, and then gain it back by Valentine’s Day.

• Marge – I resolve to finally learn how to make pancakes that don’t stick to the pan. Bart helped me come up with that one.

• Krusty – In 2007, I promise not to keep using the same old jokes I’ve been telling since 1961.

• Chief Wiggum – In the coming year, I resolve to learn how to work the safety on my gun.

• Comic Book Guy – In 2007, I resolve to boldly go where I have never gone before – out on a date with a woman.

• Barney – I resolve to quit drinking … coffee. It leaves less room for beer.

• Ned Flanders – I resolve to be pious and kind and gentle and … yippee, skippee I already am! Happy 2007, everybody!
