Does the mere idea of stepping into another mall, watching It’s a Wonderful Life for the zillionth
time, or talking to your loved ones make you throw up? Then settle your bowlful
of jelly into the La-Z-Boy® and deck your hall with today’s installment of Psychobabble’s 12 Days of X-Mas Episodes instead!
Merry vegetating!
Series: The Simpsons
Episode: “Simpsons
Roasting on an Open Fire”, in which the residents of 742 Evergreen Terrace make their full-length
debut and acquire a family dog after Scroogey Mr. Burns denies Homer his
Christmas bonus. It took The Simpsons
a year or so to reach peak hilarity (by my estimation, it really kicked in with
“Brush with Greatness”, and not just because I love Ringo), so don’t expect to
crap yourself laughing. But the early Simpsons episodes still pack a primitive charm
and the tattooist who takes Bart’s word when the kid says he’s 21 is an
early hint that the show could be really funny.
