Homer Simpson and the rest of the Springfield crew return this Sunday, when “The Simpsons” kicks off its 28th season on Fox.
“The Simpsons,” now the longest-running prime-time series in American TV history (it premiered in 1989), will also celebrate another milestone next month — its 600th episode.
In Sunday’s season premiere, Homer’s decrepit boss, Mr. Burns, is persuaded to stage a variety show to help rebuild Springfield after a disastrous fire. (Amy Schumer will guest-voice the role of Mrs. Burns.)
To help celebrate the episode, and every other “Simpsons” milestone, family patriarch Homer Simpson agreed to answer a few questions from The Post about his family (wife Marge, kids Bart, Lisa and Maggie), his job and several other topics.
It’s remarkable that your appearance hasn’t changed after all these years. What’s your secret?
My secret is to start fat, bald and lazy and you can’t ever look any worse.
Marriage can be tough sledding at times. How do you and Marge keep your marriage fresh?
You seriously want me to detail my sex life for The New York Post [TV Dept.]? I want Page Six or nothing!
Have you and Marge established a college fund for Bart and Lisa?
We have a college fund for Lisa, a bail fund for Bart and a nickel set aside when Maggie says her first word.
What’s your favorite family memory?
I’ll never forget the first time I strangled the boy. There have been many, many times but you never forget your first.
You have a prodigious appetite. Is there any kind of food you won’t eat?
Anything green, crunchy or life-prolonging.
Who’s your favorite celebrity?
The Seven Duffs. My dream is to drink them all.
Do you worry about all that exposure to radiation after all those years of working at the power plant?
Nuclear plants have radiation? Uh oh.
Have you ever thought about retiring and if so, what would you do?
Hey, I don’t do anything now, why should I quit?
Tell me something about yourself that no one else knows.
I’m afraid my life is an open book which, of course, I have not read.
If you could invite three people to dinner, who would they be?
Colonel Sanders, Mrs. Butterworth and my favorite monarch, the Burger King.
What’s your philosophy of life?
Don’t answer vague general questions.
