It wouldn't be the first time that a season ends with a Bart episode and start another one in a row with another episode centered on the same character: the season 29 ended with "Flanders' Ladder" and season 30 started with "Bart's Not Dead", both being Bart episodes. A season finale with a Bart episode followed by a season premiere with an episode centered on the same character.

Although, there isn't really anything much to talk about for S36 yet, I know Bart's Birthday is gonna be the Season 36 premiere. If anything, I'd probably wait until whenever we'll eventually get NEW information for what else is to happen for later this season until then

Just in case this promo card for Bart's Birthday is actually real and @AnthonyNoHomers70100 is only joking about it being a joke created in AI because he got nervous Selman the Great Dictator will sue him for leaking the image

And otherwise, it shall function as a great visual to get in the mood for celebrating the birth of season 36

Isn't a promo image, it's an AI-generated fan art.
 
Let me guess.. "The Beautiful Shame" is gonna be another umpteenth Homer/Marge marriage story..

And for probably worse luck, let's say a guest star playing themselves might save their marriage this time. So let's hope it isn't that.
 
It's not really a new season thread until the annual posting of the Fox NFL doubleheader (i.e. NFL lead-in to The Simpsons) schedule:

September 8, 22
October 13, 20
November 3, 24
December 8, 15, 29
January 5
