‘The Simpsons' Are Coming to Boston

Boston-centric episode to air Sunday

Homer, Bart and the rest of the Simpson family are coming to Boston – on a “hate-cation.”

On the Oct. 9 episode of the show, Homer catches Bart rooting for a rival football team with an obvious resemblance to the New England Patriots. He plans a trip to show his son that Boston is a terrible city, according to the synopsis of the episode.

Promotional materials released by FOX show cartoon caricatures of Patriots including Rob Gronkowski (called “Bonkowski”); as well as a scowling, hooded Bill Belichick.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Homer warms up to the city after he discovers candlepin bowling.
