This year’s Christmas-themed episode titled ‘The Fight Before Christmas’ airs this Sunday. Description follows:
Disappointed that she is alone spreading the holiday cheer, Marge sends a letter to Martha Clause (Martha Stewart) to help her save the family Christmas. Martha comes to the rescue and transforms the house into the North Pole chalet Marge has always dreamed of, but when the family is noticeably absent from the perfectly trimmed holiday home, she realizes that it’s Homer and the kids who make the holidays special. Meanwhile, the Simpsons get ready to sneak away for a tropical holiday vacation in Hawaii, but surprise visitors Mr. Burns and Moe’s new friend, Katy Perry (guest-starring as herself in a special live-action sequence) delay their getaway.
Stoked for this episode! Christmas Simpsons episodes = instant classics. And Katy my lady doesn’t hurt 😉
WHY MARTHA STEWART??? She is an hypocritical criminal who should be in jail still. She is my first not welcome celebrity to the show in all these years since the show started.
I am sure Katy will save it!
I love this season, so far they have been having really good episodes!!
ehhhhhh this sounds like crappy celebrity plugs. My favorite episodes these days are the ones without guest stars, or at least guest stars not playing themself.
looks good! cannot wait! finally a chrismtas special since eternal moonshine of the simpson mind back in 2007! oh brother where bart thou? had a winter theme but it wasnt christmassy and the burns and the bees just had a christmas title sequence! enough moaning im sure this episode will attract a lot of fans and may make me realise its actually christmas soon!
This is not going to be pretty.
OMG KATY PERRY ON THE SIMPSONS?!???????????????????!?!!?!?!? HOLY CRAP
Great episode, definitely one of my favorite christmas episodes.
Martha Stewart dream was SUPER LAME.
I loved the Muppet twist, specially the last gag. LOL!
this episode was not a classic instead of doing one good christmas story they do 4 sup-par ones it’s almost as if they are rushing each story. the last joke of the episode was the only funny one. a 6/10 (i’am being generous today)
really bad, all season, especially this episode. 21 was also bad. its repetitive, like bart finds girlfriend, lisa doubts her future, SLH is bad dog… Need new, fresh ideas, or just cancel the show.
Thankfully no one cares what you think.
You know nothing about TV.
Not the best of episodes, and improvement from last week.
Again, we have the modern disease of putting celebrities over plot. Having Katy Perry in a skimpy Simpsons dress, though, was a step too far, just to distract hetrosexual viewers off what’s happening. Though, it serves as a nice sequel to Dude Where’s My Ranch where Maggie was dancing around to Britney Spears. I wonder if Marge favours Martha Stewart (again a step too far) over Vincent Price? The Polar Express short I think is my least favourite part of the episode, and kind of wierd it took them 5 years to parody it… The 1944 segment was interesting, but a little ridiculous.
5 or 6/10 I think.
I thought it was a pretty good episode. So far this season is churning out some good episodes and I actually liked last weeks episode “how munched is that birdie in the window”. I don’t get why so many people don’t like new episodes? I don’t think the show is declining in quality I think people are just growing up and have had enough of the simpsons. I for one am still a big fan and I think the show is still the second best show on TV right behind futurama. IM hoping for possibly a season 25 or 30 by that time the show can come to an end, so to keep this from totally derailing HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HERES TO MANY MORE GREAT SIMPSONS SEASON’S TO COME….
meh! it was ok.
The beginning made me feel full of festive cheer and the town looked very nice. could have done a few more places like the church but it was still good.
The first segment could have been longer. as C@A said it has taken them 5 years to actually parody the polar express and we ended up with a 4 minute piece of crap.
The second segment was very interesting and heartwarming. A definite favourite!
The third segment well it was terrible! martha stewart is a lame wad. why do guest stars keep helping marge all of a sudden?!
The fourth segment was good the last gag was a laugh out loud moment and there were some other moments too. katy perry wasnt bad apart from the weird dress!
All in all i give it a 7 and a half/10
Happy holidays!
Loose Lips Sink Ships. Loved that.
