Great classic episodes., Sep 1 2001

This is indeed a fabulous collection of the earlier Simpsons episodes, most of which feature Bart misbehaving (such as "Bart vs. Thanksgiving" and "Bart Gets an F"). After Bart ruins Thanksgiving for his family, he impulsively runs away and ends up in a homeless shelter. In "Bart Gets an F," it is critical for Bart to pass his history test in order to be promoted to the fifth grade. A Halloween special is also included, along with the political episode where Mr. Burns gets involved in an electoral campaign. Watching these episodes is a true delight for any fan.

This is a hilariously entertaining set of videos that center around the Halloween specials, such as "The Shinning." This is where Homer turns crazy when he discovers that television and beer are unavailable at the creepy hotel. Other classic episodes are included, which are guaranteed to make you laugh out loud.
