    Look on the bright side, now replacing voice actors doesn’t matter anymore. When a character dies, they can now break their rule of not using the character anymore!

    Yeah, that’s true. It was never intended the wrong way, but now that they can it’s cool that they’re doing it.

    Treehouse of Horror 32 is tonight. Seems a little early in the month. I figured with Halloween being on a Sunday this year they would've shown it then.

    Tonight? That doesn't make any sense, especially when Halloween is on an actual Sunday. Air the fucker ON HALLOWEEN!!!

    Does that means the Bob's Burgers Halloween episode was tonight too?

    I believe all of the Fox Animated Sunday lineup aired their Halloween episodes yesterday based on the commercials I saw during the Steelers game on Fox earlier in the day.

    Yup. I believe there's been times as well that the Halloween episode has aired 1 or 2 weeks into November for some stupid ass reason.

    I feel like they might normally do that since a lot of places have Trick R Treat early to avoid bad weather, and so they can have it on a weekend, but most places are just having it on actual Halloween this year since it is on a weekend, so people will still be in the spirit at the time

    We decided to go ahead and watch the special last night. First off, I am utterly disgusted with their tasteless "transplant" "joke." I don't know who thought that was supposed to be funny, but myself, my wife, and our friend who was over as we watched this last night all groaned rather than laugh. It was very disgusting and felt out of place. It was the 9/11 joke Bart makes in the one where they return to NYC all over again.

    WIth that said, here are my thoughts on the stories themselves:

    Opening segment - Um.... okay... That just seems random and they're doing a Disney segment because of course they can.

    Parasite - Did they even watch Parasite? It's not a freaking horror movie at all, why are they trying to turn it into one? None of this made any sense and the pacing was bad. Instead of develping a plot it just jumped into them all being hired off screen. WTF? And then the battle royale thing was bad.

    Nightmare - First off, they already did a Nightmare on Elm Street parody that was well done decades ago. Why are they trying to do another one? Oh, the only thing it has in common is its name... ooooooooooooooooooookay, then why even use that title? This story sucked ass and was not even remotely funny. It's so bad they even had to make a self-aware comment about the second stories. Wow, I hope they didn't take hours to think that joke up. And then of course, as I said, there was the distasteful trans joke. What a total piece of shit this story was.

    Telltale - Um... okay... that was utterly pointless. Why wait until he gets to Dec to have Maggie kill him instead of doing it sooner? That would have probably been funnier. The animation was a call back to Bart's Stanley story from one of the better episodes of Season 18, but without any of the effort that made it effective and chilling back then.

    Tik Tok - An episode centered around Ring and it was as subpar as you can expect from modern Simpsons, but you know what, at least it was a freaking horror movie segment. There was one joke that I did get a good laugh at, though I don't remember what it was at this point. Nevertheless, that alone makes this the best of the four tales they did even though its ending was crap. Although, it was kind of funny to see even the ghost get annoyed with Lisa.

    Unless you watch every Halloween episode of the show, there is no reason to touch this one. It's not the worst of them out there, yet, it's nothing special either.

    By now, Bart should be a male stripper, a washed up rock star, or chief justice of the supreme court!

    I saw some article state that this current season of the show has completely revolutionized it, but the reviews seem to state otherwise.
