Selman revealed that the long-running animated series will not shift toward covering immediate political controversies, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s not our mission statement to respond to the crisis of the moment. It\u2019s more about a town of good-natured dum-dums dealing with a changing world.\u201d He explained that the series works months in advance, unlike other shows such as South Park, which can produce episodes within a week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Season 37 premiere, \u201cThrifty Ways to Thieve Your Mother,\u201d aired on Fox. It focused on Marge revisiting her love of a \u201990s teen drama. Lisa, meanwhile, experimented with thrift-store fashion alongside classmates voiced by Cole Escola and Stephanie Hsu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Homer became engrossed in a Reacher-like series, while the family skipped the movies and waited for streaming. Selman explained that originality in the show often comes from real-life trends. He pointed to thrifting, nostalgia, and \u201cdad TV\u201d as key inspirations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Upcoming episodes will spotlight Springfield residents. Superintendent Chalmers will dive into the world of online skincare influencers. Bart will take a job with Professor Frink in a satire of billionaire tech culture. Other stories will feature a Quimby family backstory. The annual Treehouse of Horror will include segments that blend Jaws, The Blob, and a plastic-based apocalypse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked about the 800th episode, Selman offered a rare tease. \u201cIt\u2019s in February. That I can tease. I\u2019ll say this: It involves the dog. That\u2019s a big tease. How about this, I\u2019ll give you a little more: The dog gets fat.\u201d The episode will center on the family\u2019s beloved pet, Santa\u2019s Little Helper, marking a milestone for the series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.superherohype.com\/news\/630919-the-simpsons-episode-800-plot-showrunner-teases\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:SuperHeroHype;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/tv\/news\/2034820-the-simpsons-episode-800-plot-showrunner-teases\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Simpsons Boss Reveals Key Details About 800th Episode\u2019s Dog Plot;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Simpsons Boss Reveals Key Details About 800th Episode\u2019s Dog Plot<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Selman, co-showrunner of The Simpsons, has teased details about the show\u2019s upcoming 800th episode.
