“The Simpsons” returns on Sunday, Sept. 27, on Fox with a Season 38 opener (“The Children’s Book Job”) that parodies children’s books, featuring guest voice Emma Thompson as a beloved children’s book author who comes to town for a benefit to save Springfield Elementary from closing.

But when her character — saucy British writer Constance Clavinger — turns out to be a handful (getting drunk at the airport bar, for starters), Homer struggles to get her to the school on time. They go on an adventure across town as he tries to get her, “Get Him to the Greek” style, to a school book fair organized by new PTA president Marge.
