Why do they even bother doing this every year? I know it's not specifically called a "Halloween Special" and it gets pre-empted by the World Series, but they always show it AFTER Halloween. The World Series doesn't usually start until 8 ET and Fox's prime time starts at 7, so why not show it at 7 the Sunday before Halloween and have the pre-game at 7:30.
That's like making a holiday/Christmas special and showing it the first week of January after New Year's Day.

Blasphemy! While they've left a lot to be desired as of late, some of those early ones contain all-time, classic Simpson moments.
"Super fun happy slide!"
"Tell you what: we come back and everyone's slaughtered, I owe you a Coke."
"Oh, Lisa, you and your stories. Bart is a vampire. Beer kills brain cells. Now let's go back to that...building...thingy, where our beds and TV...is."
There are many others, including the genius retelling of The Raven.

The best line in TOH:
Homer: It was so nice of Mr. Burns to invite us to a midnight dinner at his country house in... Pennsylvania!
Lisa: Aw, there's something fishy about this whole setup.
Marge: Lisa, stop being so suspicious. Did everyone wash their necks like Mr. Burns asked?
Homer: Sure did!
And he has the dirtiest wash cloth

"Is this the end of Zombie Shakespeare?"
we don't celebrate halloween here but they're still great epidosodes. the writers get to do stuff they never could in regular episodes, like kill flanders or turn bart into a vampire.

ABE: If you ever travel back in time, don't step on anything because even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine.
HOMER: Fine. As long as I stand perfectly still and don't touch anything, I won't destroy the future. Stupid bug! You go squish now!

One of my favorite Simpsons quotes of all time. I still use the "that's good/that's bad" occasionally.
