Maintains the steady run the show is one where it produces a few real great episodes, a few really bad ones, and a majority of solid entries. Not what it used to be but still it’s still great to spend time with this group of characters.
‘Halloween of Horror’ is an interesting change of place, a horror based episode that takes place in the main timeline and is actually a week before ‘Treehouse of Horror’. It is a great story about kids fears and parents responsibility, and is a real stand-out episode for both emotion and laughs.
‘The Marge-Ian Chronicles’ is a very high concept episode, that doesn’t deliver on the bold set up but chooses to tell a deeply human story and is one of the best examples of a dynamic that the show doesn’t explore much, the relationship between Marge and Lisa.
Rating = 3.5/5
