The longest-running primetime scripted show in television history is ready to set another milestone this fall with the debut of its ding-dang-doodly 35th season! FOX today dropped the official, extended season trailer, slingshotting fans through a kaleidoscope of Springfieldian vignettes that promise more of the gags, zingers and incredulous situations that have carried America’s favorite yellow family through all these years.
This season, Marge (Julie Kavner) experiences a series of nightmares about young Bart’s (Nancy Cartwright) childhood coming to an end; Homer (Dan Castellaneta) accidentally volunteers for a school crossing guard position; 60 years in the future, Lisa (Yeardley Smith) recounts the story of how Homer was scapegoated for a power outage that plunged Springfield into darkness days before Thanksgiving; and the annual chilling trilogy “Treehouse of Horror XXXIV” is back!
Here’s the logline for the season premiere episode:
Feeling worthless at work, Homer volunteers to be a school crossing guard. But when his safety squad receives too much funding, the crossing guards become a force to be feared in the all-new “Homer’s Crossing” episode of The Simpsons airing Sunday, October 1 (8:00-8:31 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The Simpsons debuted on FOX in 1990, quickly becoming a pop culture phenomenon and a powerhouse global entertainment franchises. The Emmy Award-, Annie Award- and Peabody Award-winning animated comedy aired its 750th episode ahead of the 35th season this fall.
The series is a Gracie Films Production in association with 20th Television. James L. Brooks, Matt Groening, Matt Selman and Al Jean are the executive producers. The Gracie Films Worldwide Brand Division develops and produces the licensed content for the series. The series also features the voices of Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer as a number of regular characters.
