I know it's not the same, but blind mice mart has a ton of the Simpsons episodes recorded on their site for download with audio description.

yay, I'm not the only one wondering. And I'd like to see the simpsons too. I watched it as a kid, but not fully.
With audio description now, I'd be able to see the full action.

I am going to piggy back ashley's question.  How do you access described over-the-air TV shows.  I know an episode of The Simpsons was audio described, but I could not figure out how to get it.  I believe I read somewhere it was through the SAP channel, but I could not find this on my Vizio television.
