LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Bart Simpson's nemesis will return to "The Simpsons" in the coming season, and Homer will find a new foe as well, in the voice of Alec Baldwin.
Baldwin, Kelsey "Sideshow Bob" Grammer, Oscar winner Frances McDormand and Patty and Selma's favorite actor, Richard Dean "MacGyver" Anderson, will be among the guest voices on "The Simpsons" for 2005-06, FOX says. William H. Macy, Lily Tomlin, Terry Bradshaw and Dennis Rodman and "The Office" star Ricky Gervais, who also wrote his episode, will also appear.
The show's 17th season will open with Baldwin -- who previously played himself on the show -- playing a marine biologist named Caleb Thorn who woos Marge (Julie Kavner) when she leaves Homer (Dan Castellaneta) after he lets Fat Tony (Joe Mantegna) film an adult movie in their living room to pay off a gambling debt.
The Sideshow Bob episode hasn't been scheduled yet. When we last saw the homicidal former Krusty sidekick, he was helping Homer solve a murder plot against him and found he couldn't kill Bart (Nancy Cartwright), having grown accustomed to his face.
