Once again Simpsons Halloween episode AFTER Halloween!

[mreilly]

This is so fucking stupid and annoying: every year, year after year, FOX insists on airing the Simpson Halloween special after Halloween. Every single year.

It can't be a scheduling issue.

It can't be a problem with the writers.

It can't be a strike in the art department.

Like everything else FOX does, it's obviously for some kind of crappy intention: probably to get more viewers since all the other Halloween stuff won't be broadcast alongside The Simpsons because HALLOWEEN IS FUCKING OVER!

Ever know someone who just insisted on doing something absolutely pointless "just 'cause?" Well, that's FOX.

You know what it's like? Frankly it's like the wife saying "Honey, I bought a sexy new nightie - wanna see it on me?" AFTER you've already had, uh, "relations" that night. Mildly interesting, perhaps, but the heat of the moment is long past.

Or to be more family-friendly, it's like shoveling in a bland dinner of pasta and noodles and then someone announcing "Oh, by the way, there's a sausage pizza in the oven if you want a sliver for dessert."

Stupid crap like this; the little games, the manipulation, the psychological bullshit, the endless barrage of advertising, etc. is why I barely bother to watch TV.

That is all.

(Note: the first wiseguy to respond with a sarcastic "So tell us how you really feel" gets smacked upside the head with a lemon wrapped around a brick).

1. It's because Fox has the rights to the World Series every year,

but it is annoying, too. x(

3. What's annoying is that baseball lasts long enough to interfere with Halloween!

Nowadays, the "boys of summer" start and finish the season in snow.

2. So tell us how you really feel.

4. It's because of fucking baseball.

Treehouse of Horror > baseball

That is all.

7. yum!

..."a bland dinner of pasta and noodles"...! Quite the imaginative blend you've concocted there, can't say I blame you for shoveling it in!

8. It is really stupid.

It's not a coincidence either that I stopped watching the Halloween specials after they stopped showing them on Halloween. Well that and they got progressively less funny.
