Tonight at 8p on Fox, The Simpsons back and Homer Simpson falls for an expensive painting at the museum. Sadly, it is being auctioned off and some billionaire bought it. Right after the auction the priceless art piece goes missing and Homer is the #1 suspect? Did he do it? Mr Manacek is on the case and he is like Mannix, Columbo and Kojak all rolled into one. He will do everything in his power to solve the mystery. The biggest one since who shot Mr Burns, which is about the same time that Mr Manacek’s show was airing.

Then at 9p, Stewie goes to see a therapist and this Family Guy episode is only about them. Stewie goes there to be analyzed, but turns out he analyzes the therapist instead. When the youngest Griffin is done, he realizes something about himself. He reveals a side of himself we have never seen before. That is the only reason to watch this episode.
I have seen every episode of the show, and this was my least favorite one. At least they tried something different. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. To me this is a doesn’t.
When I was kid, I learned a good way to wake up early, is to drink a lot of water before you go to sleep, from a Simpsons Christmas episode. Well, it is that time of year again and our favorite animated family is getting into the spirit early. This Sunday they will be airing their holiday episode and they unwrapped their couch gag early for us enjoy. It is the gift that will keep on giving. Whenever you need a Christmas fix, just watch it to nearly 2 minutes and it will feel like December 25th every day of the year!

Tonight at 8p, it is time for The Simpsons’ XXVIII Treehouse of Horror. The episode starts off with our favorite animated family being sweeter than ever. Could be because they are all candy bars. Well all but one, who is an apple. Can you guess who?
Then, it is about time that Maggie got her own horror story for Halloween and tonight she gets a new take on a very scary classic tale. Exorcist. Our awwwdorable little pacifier sucking baby becomes pure evil. How will they get her back?
Next up, Lisa Simpson escapes to an alternate world that is better than the one she is living in. Will she decide to stay there, even though she will have to make an unforeseen sacrifice?
Finally, Homer’s tale might be the weirdest story that The Simpsons have told to date. Will you eat it up?
Even though this the 28th Treehouse of Horror, it is still as fresh as all the candy you will get trick or treating on Halloween.
BTW next year’s Treehouse of Horror is the episode that will be the one that puts The Simpsons on top of Gunsmoke with the most episodes produced by scripted television. How many episodes? It will be their 636th and I have seen them all! How many have you seen?

Game of Thrones is on hiatus for a really long time, but The Simpsons is back on Fox tonight and every Sunday at 8p. Not only will that give you something to do until that other show comes back, but tonight on the season premiere they merge both shows. That’s right they pay homage to the show with dinosaurs. When Marge’s mom (who knew she was still alive) gets sick, Lisa and Homer need to find an amulet to make her better. The older Simpson daughter needs to use her magic in a place where you cannot use it. What will she do? You will have to tune into a show that a 25 is just as good as its first and tenth and 17th season.
Then at 8:30p, Adam Scott and Craig Robinson are recruited to investigate the paranormal on Ghosted. Recruited is the wrong word, kidnapped from the jobs they do not want to be at, are the right ones. Leo Wright (Robinson) is a former LAPD cop, who was the best missing person’s investigator, until his partner was killed. Now he is a mall cop. Max Jennifer (Scott) was a Harvard professor, who wrote a book about the multiverse, and he lost his job when everyone thought he was crazy because he believes his wife was abducted. He works at book store to make ends meet.
Their lives are about to change when an agent in Bureau Underground, who investigate the paranormal and anything outside the science realm, goes missing. Before he did, he recorded a video and told his co-workers to find Wright and Jennifer to help locate him. Now, they are brought in to find him. What will they find out?
Think of this like a lifelike version of Scooby Doo, but with adults, no van and no dog. It is a lot of fun because it brings together two actors who work perfectly together. As long as you do not remember they did Hot Tub Time Machine 2 2gether!

Finally at 9:30p, The Last Man on Earth is back. But they are not on solid earth, instead they are on boat trying to escape the nuclear cloud that is coming their way.
The episode picks up where it left off, with Pamela Brinton (Kristen Wiig) just shooting Pat (Mark Boone Junior). She is not alone, she has a special A-List guest star with her. Because what would a season premiere be without one shocking(ly awesome) cameo?
Once they get rid of Pat, it is time for Pamela, Tandy (Will Forte), Carol (Kristen Schaal), Melissa (January Jones), Todd (Mel Rodriguez), Erica (Cleopatra Coleman) and her newborn, Gail (Mary Steenburgen) and Jasper (Keith L. Williams) to hit the high seas. They are on their way to Mexico and it looks like it will be smooth sailing. That is until, they think they are anchored in for the night, but they are not. Now they have no idea where they are after floating all night long. Where will their adventure take us?
We will have to tune in every week for a show that finds a way to surprise us in every episode. Whether it be a death, a cameo or a twist you never saw coming. LMOE is one of the most brilliant and enjoyable shows on television and more of you should be watching this gem!

Before Yeardley Smith was a 25-year-old virgin on Herman’s Head, she was a teenage mother-to-be on Tales From the Darkside. How cute was the voice of Lisa Simpson back when she was 21 in that 1986 episode?
