Christmas will be coming early for the ladies of Wisteria Lane -- December 6 -- but along with it will be a surprise from a special visitor: Homer Simpson. Okay, so maybe the big yellow buffoon won't be coming to Desperate Housewives in his animated form, but Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer, will be making a rather large crash on the show. Pun very, very much intended.

I say that because Castellaneta will be playing the role of an airplane pilot who crashes his small plane into Christmas trees. And kills people. "The accident will be caused by a series of mishaps involving Dan’s character and his shrewish wife, played by Caroline Aaron," TV Guide reports. Sounds like typical Housewives fare.

While I'm not sure there's much of a crossover appeal between the two shows (they appeal to entirely different demographics), those who find themselves in the middle of the Venn diagram might get a kick out of Castellaneta's appearance, and the probable thousands of poorly veiled Simpsons references that will most likely ensue.

    So there will NOT be an Oceanic Airlines plane crashing on Wisteria Lane… Thank God.
    If I was a Wisteria Lane resident, it would be an “ex” one, because that street draws way too much natural disasters/murders/weirdos to have a perfect picket fenced life and not have a shotgun by your bed for comfort.
