So here’s your official TSTO Addicts reminder…all new episode, the season premiere, this Sunday, September 27th, at 8pm Eastern on FOX (also at the same time on CityTV in Canada)….“Undercover Burns”!

And last seasons, “The Winter of Our Monetized Content” – Bart and Homer open a social media channel.
So what do The Simpsons have in store for us this week?
Here’s the episode information released from FOX:
“Mr. Burns goes undercover as “Fred” at the nuclear power plant and becomes friends with Homer and the gang. Burns implements all sorts of amenities to improve his employees’ lives, but a jealous Smithers plots to bring the old, bitter Burns back and destroy Fred.“
Unfortunately now that The Simpsons has moved from Fox to the House of Mouse, the YouTube channel “Animation on Fox” is no longer posting sneak peeks.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow night to see all the fun!
As always, after the episode airs we’ll have a full episode recap!

FOX seems to be promoing clips from the first Episode of this Season after the broadcast (here is the 2nd one)

Bring back Carl and Apu
Carl is back (voice talent matches exactly how Hank Azaria does him)
FOX is promoing that new Episode from Sunday with little snippets on YouTube (here is one)
https://youtu.be/yJDQqGObfZ0
Am I the only one to notice Carl’s voice has changed, PC bleeding into the land of Springfield perhaps?

Should have read before posting.

That’s Team Disney Burbank for you (“no we won’t do video promos!”) 🤬
I’m looking forward to this next Season of The Simpsons, it will be a brand new experience with Alex Desert taking over as the voice of Carl (Dr. Julius Hibbert will be seen, but not voiced, so let’s see what Team Simpsons has in store for the various Characters typically voiced by Hank Azaria & Harry Shearer). 😀👍🏻

Yeah, The Simpsons have always evolved with the time. This is just the next step in their evolution. I too am quite excited to see what happens.
The Characters are too vital to the Show to be canceled (especially if the right thing to do is to find the precise voice talent for said Character and continue).
Those exceptions involving the voice talent that have passed away? I truly understand (OMG less than 24 Hours!)
6 hours to go! Exciting!!!
And finally a teaser by FOX

I wonder if the video is only available in the US, because I can’t see your video in Canada.
Safi
FOX took down that video and put up a new one 5 hours ago (it’s a promo for all 4 returning animated series on Sunday)

I wonder if we’ll get an episode tie-in? Or did that ship sail long ago?
Still not out of the realm of possibility. But unlikely indeed.
You never know, the Jazz-y Mini Event ends before the broadcast of this Season’s Treehouse of Horror. 🎃🦇
