Thanksgiving Review: The Simpsons episode "Thanksgiving of Horror"

What is it and where can I get it? A season 31 Thanksgiving special, with the same three-shorts horror anthology format as the show's famous "Treehouse of Horror" episodes.

What's it about? The first short, "A-Gobble-Ypto," is the story of the first Thanksgiving...with the Simpsons family as wild turkeys. (Yes, in real life they likely didn't eat turkey.) "The Fourth Thursday After Tomorrow" is a parody of the Black Mirror episode "White Christmas," with an AI version of Marge coming into conflict with the real one while preparing a Thanksgiving dinner party. "The Last Thanksgiving/The First Blarg-sgiving" is a mash(ed potato)-up of several sci-fi horror movies, with the kids on a spaceship fighting a cranberry monster.

How Thanksgivingy is it?: All of them are pretty holiday-focused, though it takes a while before it comes into the second short's plot.

Is it good? This was the first Simpsons episode I've watched in many years, and my perception was that it's pretty good by the show's current standards. Then again, I hear it's gotten occasionally better lately?

Anyway, if you're looking for something to bridge the gap between Halloween and Thanksgiving, this special might just do the trick.

Anything else? Recurring character Martin Prince dies in the last segment, and this was actually Russi Taylor's last time voicing him before her death in real life. Fans can take comfort in writer Dan Vebber's report that she enjoyed how gory his end was.

R.I.P. Russi.

The Simpsons S02EP03 (Treehouse of Horror I)

[uncannybob]

As Christmas draws near I begin to consider what Christmas special I should watch (this might be the year I finaly check out the He-Man/She-Ra Christmas special) and I was once again reminded on how different shows, especially the adult animation sitcoms, seems to specialize in different holiday specials.

The Simpsons of course make the best Halloween specials. Their Treehouse of Horror episodes have pretty much become part of the yearly holiday tradition. There are so many clever & memorable parodies here.

Bob's Burgers of course makes has the best Thanksgiving episodes and it feels fitting considering Bob's love of cooking. Sure they also have some pretty great Christmas & Halloween episodes too but it always seems like they bring their A-game for Thanksgiving. Weather its saving the wharff from ravenous turkeys, rescuing a parted turkey or pretrending to be their landlord's family, its always a joy to see the strugeling Belchers celebrating their favorite holiday. The only exception being season 13's Puts-giving which was boring as fuck. This year they didn't have one and it made the year feel a little empty.

Now to be fair I have never celebrated thanksgiving so pretty much all I know about it comes from american television. The first time I ever heard of it was Dino-Riders, no kiddin.

American Dad has the best Chistmas episodes in my opinion. Each year they knock it out of the park with another hilarious, creative christmas theme episode. This year was no exception. The Smiths family's yearly fued with santa is hilarious and one they keep revisiting.
