Back in the 13th season, Bart created a popular web series called Angry Dad based on Homer, which became a movie in season 22, “Angry Dad: The Movie.” The strained-but-loving relationship between Lisa and Homer has propelled at least half a dozen episodes at this point. The Simpsons visited New York in season nine, and hey, there’s nothing saying they can’t go back during the season 24 première.
