Sorry, there's no indication that Bart, Lisa, Homer or Marge Simpson will be visiting the Queen City.

Publicity photos for episode also show the Simpsons seated in a theater – but no details were released about that storyline in Sunday's show. 

Here's the Fox episode description for "The Road To Cincinnati": Odd couple Skinner and Chalmers embark on an 800-mile car ride to Cincinnati to attend an administrator’s convention - but can they reach their destination without killing each other first? - in the all-new "The Road to Cincinnati" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Nov. 29 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
