-As what the title stated, it will be all about Mr. Burns' flashback of his early years. He's about to put up a variety show to mend the wounds created by his conflict with the Simpsons. There are rumors the episode might finally explain why Burns turned into Springfield's evil billionaire that he is now.

-The episode's synopsis goes like this "When Springfield is burned to the ground, the Simpsons beg Mr. Burns to fund its rebuilding. Burns agrees - with one condition: he gets to put on a variety show at the Springfield Bowl."

-Amy Schumer will serve as the voice actor for Mr. Burns' mother. The Trainwreck actress will also guest star in the season premiere of Bob's Burger and Family Guy.

-Fox recently released an intro video for the 28th season of the Simpsons featuring Bart the boy and a dog named homer. It also shows several characters and scenes fans should look forward to see for this coming season.

Via Indiewire:

"Adventure Time", much like the imaginary middle-class world of Springfield, has a memorable world of its own, and its opening sequence roams through the mythical Land of Ooo from the radioactive leftovers of the Bad Lands to Finn's tree fort in the Grass Lands.

In the new couch gag for premiere episode "Monty Burns' Fleeing Circus," the Simpsons explore their version of the radioactive Bad Lands filled with barrels of toxic waste, multi-eyed squirrels and poor Ralph hanging from a tire swing. Mr. Burns becomes the Ice King, but instead of floating angrily around his grumpy Ice Kingdom, he hangs from a rope and tapes up a crack in his nuclear power plant with radioactive palms. Bart is, of course, Finn, and Homer is his very yellow and pudgy adoptive dog brother Jake."

-The Simpsons episode 1, season 28 will premiere on Sunday 8 p.m US EST on Fox. You can catch the episode online via Fox Now.
