    Sounds like a riot. I don't usually watch the Simpsons, but I'll definitely check this one out.

    Meh, The Simpsons haven't been funny for quite some time now. Can't see how a bad Transformers parody is going to change things. Robot Chicken did it right.

    Still funny every now and then.... but the laughs are few and far between even in the (relatively) good episodes these days. Even the Transformers parody has been done plenty of times before.

    Sure the Simpsons isn't as funny as it was 13 years ago, but I think it's still a lot better than the other crap that's on the tube these days.

    Simpsons has definitely sucked over the past few years but since I"m usually watching Fox on Sundays anyways I still watch the new shows and I'll definitely watch the Halloween specials which have always been some of my favorites.

    The Simpsons definitely isn't what it used to be, but it still has its moments and I'll definitely catch this episode.

    And for the record, I'd say King of the Hill is still on the air because it's incredibly well-written and has some of the best one-liner humour in the world.
    This would have to be one of their recent "moments". That was awesome.

    Hopefully I can chuckle from something in this episode. The Simpsons is pretty much a dead body that Matt Groening is trying to resuscitate, with no luck.

    Ever see the episode where Homer becomes a tow truck driver and while invading another tow driver's turf finds himself kidnapped and imprisoned with other drivers in a basement. Well, to pass the time Homer tells the story about the Transformers and OPtimus Prime

    Can't wait for the episode. Always love the Treehouse of Horrors episodes.

    Luckily I'll be vacationing in the US come Halloween time ... otherwise, I'd have to wait until about May 2009 for the episode. :p

    So true, Simpsons lost all it's charisma and I've never been able to watch an entire King of the Hill episode.

    It's about time the Simpsons actually make up something good, I'll be watching this when it airs.

    Maybe if possible, they can have Peter Cullen guest star in the Simpsons for the very first time.

    Frank Welker used to voice Santa's Little Helper. Don't think it would be a problem to get him involved as well.

    Has potential. I enjoyed the last Halloween special I remember watching.
