"The Simpsons" is taking a dramatic turn with its 800th episode, where the entire town gets a Philly makeover, literally and figuratively. In this unique plot twist, Marge and Homer find themselves entangled in a "historical conspiracy adventure" as they try to whip their dog Santa's Little Helper into shape for the prestigious Philadelphia Dog Show.
In a nod to 2000s adventure movies like "National Treasure," starring Nicholas Cage, this episode is aptly titled "Irrational Treasure." The show's writers clearly drew inspiration from the iconic scenes filmed in Philadelphia, including Independence Hall. It's a clever move that not only pays homage but also gives fans a taste of the city's rich history.
The episode boasts an impressive list of guest stars, with notable names like Quinta Brunson, Kevin Bacon, and Questlove lending their voices to memorable characters. Brunson, creator of the hit TV series "Abbott Elementary," voices Adrienne, while Bacon takes on the role of a concierge. Questlove brings his signature energy as a tour guide in this episode.
One can't help but feel that The Simpsons has a soft spot for Philadelphia, having featured its mascot Gritty in the show's 30th annual Halloween episode back in 2019. But what makes this 800th episode stand out is not just the guest stars, but also the attention to detail when it comes to Philly culture.
In a hilarious scene, Homer can be seen standing between Geno's Steaks and Pat's King of Steaks, blissfully enjoying his iconic cheesesteak. Meanwhile, Questlove's character leads a Segway tour through the city, showcasing its iconic landmarks. The episode is not just fun but also serves as a tribute to the city that has captured the hearts of millions.
This marks one of several Pennsylvania cities getting a shout-out in this special episode. The Pitt cast members will be voicing hospital workers, adding another layer of authenticity to the show's portrayal of Philly life.
In short, "The Simpsons" has outdone itself with its 800th episode, weaving a tale that is equal parts exciting adventure and heartfelt tribute to Philadelphia's rich history and culture.

.
. Maybe next up is Pittsburgh or maybe even Scranton? Who knows, but one thing's for sure - this 800th episode is going down in history as a fan favorite 
.
And having all these awesome guest stars add to the fun! I mean, who wouldn't want to see Questlove and Kevin Bacon on the show? 
. Can't even get a decent thread going without some drama or spam, you know? Anyway, back to "The Simpsons". I think this 800th episode is actually pretty cool, especially with all the Philly references and nods to history. The guest stars are a nice touch too, but what really gets me is how they got all those little details right - from Geno's to Pat's, it's like they actually lived there for a sec 
. I'm not saying I've ever been to Philly (nope), but this episode makes me wanna go grab a cheesesteak ASAP 
. And can we talk about the guest stars? Quinta Brunson, Kevin Bacon, and Questlove? Mind blown! 
. I'm definitely going to have to rewatch this episode with my favorite snacks 
️. and can we talk about the guest stars? quinta brunson is literally my spirit animal 
i mean, who doesn't love a good underdog story (literally, santa's little helper 
) and this ep has it all: adventure, laughs, and a healthy dose of philly pride 
. And can we talk about Homer's cheesesteak scene? 
I'm also feeling the Pitt cast members voicing hospital workers, it adds such a nice touch of authenticity to the episode. And with Kevin Bacon as a concierge, this is shaping up to be an epic adventure! 
What do you guys think about this Philly-themed episode?
also geno's steaks and pat's king of steaks gettin all iconic 
i'm so down for more pennsylvania cities getting shoutouts, pittsburgh & york should get some love too 
I mean, come on, a Segway tour led by Questlove? That's just, like, so extra 
. And what's up with Homer just chillin' between Geno's and Pat's? Is that really gonna happen? 
I guess it kinda works though, in a weird way? The episode does feel like a love letter to Philly, but maybe that's the point? 
Can't wait to see what else they have up their sleeve (or should I say, on their cheesesteak-filled plates?) 
. I love how they paid homage to Philly culture and history, it's so cool to see Independence Hall on screen 
. And can we talk about the guest stars? 
I mean, who wouldn't want to see Marge and Homer getting all excited about the dog show? And can we talk about the guest stars? Quinta Brunson is a total genius for voicing Adrienne, and Kevin Bacon as a concierge? Goals! 
. Like, who thought it was a good idea for the entire town to get a Philly makeover? It's just too on the nose. And don't even get me started on Marge and Homer getting all entangled in some historical conspiracy adventure... sounds like a total snooze fest 
. I mean, can't they just stick to their usual antics without trying to be so clever about it? The guest stars are cool, I guess, but it's not like it's going to bring anyone new into the fold. And let's be real, Philly is already overdone as a setting for TV shows... what's next, The Sopranos' 100th episode in Jersey City?
