The Simpsons is finally back on Fox tonight at 8p and Al Jean recently told me on a conference call what is coming up this season on the show.
As most of you have heard someone is going to die on the show, but we don’t know who that character is. All we know is they won an Emmy for the part. Which really isn’t much of a hint, since they pretty much all of them have the golden statuettes in their homes thanks to the never ageing animated show.
So what else can we expect from the show’s 25th season?
Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss is going to guest star on the show.
Al Jean also told us that Homer is going to something good and he’ll be honored for what he does. Jean said, “Homer is stuck on an elevator with a pregnant woman and he delivers her baby because she’s giving birth right then.” Then he added, “She’s grateful and she doesn’t have a husband, so she names the baby Homer Jr., and Homer actually bonds with this baby better than his own children and Marge gets really mad.”
We know there will be death and life coming up this season, and there will also be something that happens in between all of that. Jean revealed, “We have a show coming up where Comic Book Guy gets married.” It gets better because he also revealed, “The wedding is performed by Stan Lee, and we have Stan Lee playing himself, and Harlan Ellison playing himself in that episode.” Here’s some of what happened behind the scenes of that episode as told by Jean, “What was funny was that they both wanted to be funnier than the other. They were both great; it was really exciting for me, as a nerd.”
Jean shared with us that Mr Burns won’t be a Grinch this holiday season, “We have a show where Mr. Burns gives everyone, basically, Google Glasses as a Christmas gift because then he can spy on them.”
And a big part of the show is the love between Marge and Homer and this Valentine’s Day they are getting a special episode. Jean said, “Homer gives his to Marge and finds that Homer can see what Marge is doing all day and discovers a shocking secret.”
What that shocking secret is and who is going to die, we don’t know. Therefore, we are going to have to tune in every Sunday at 8p to find out on the show that never gets old!
