THE SIMPSONS
Fox, 8:00 p.m. ET
Tonight’s new episode takes on the movie Boyhood by animating the story of Bart Simpson as he might progress if, like the boy in Boyhood, he actually aged. And why not? Bart’s been around long enough, in terms of years, to have reached not only “Barthood” – the title of this episode – but adulthood as well. And pay special attention to the couch gag this week: Like the rest of this episode, it’s a loving nod to director Richard Linklater, director of Boyhood. He also directed 2006’s A Scanner Darkly, a movie whose unusual visual style relies on rotoscoping – as does, this week, the couch gag.
