Not long to go now! I'm not sure which one would be my favourite, possibly the 'Freaks No Geeks'.

Wouldn't Sideshow Bob be better as a murderous Cat in the Hat?

But the writers tend to think outside the box when it comes to TOHs (ie Marge as a witch, Ned as the devil).

I enjoyed it.
The Dr. Suess parody was cute! The Simpsons look adorable as Who's. The Dead and Shoulders one was my favourite. Really liked how Bart was in control of the body while Lisa was sleeping. & How they carried this storyline into the next one when Selma and Bart were included in the freaks at the circus. "Kite! At 2 o'clock." "I don't know what that means, I have a digital watch!" "And that kids, is how I met your mother." |

Dead and Shoulders was my favourite too. That quote from the pilot is kinda worrying, it makes you wonder just who's they're letting become a pilot these days! Also, I loved at the end when Dr Hibbert came in with Dr Nick on his shoulder. Could you imagine those two trying to work together? __________________

That was interesting to watch, though they mis-spelt 'The Shinning'
