Objectively, I can understand why this might be overall a stronger episode, but nothing will ever make me laugh harder than Al Jolson climbing the Chrysler Building.

The Uter episode might look a bit weak compared to those 2, but taken on it's own, it's a pretty funny episode.<br /><br />Overall, this is definitely one of the best Halloween episodes. On a personal level, I'd rank with Treehouse of Horror III, but I can understand you ranking it slightly below it. They're both really good episodes.<br /><br />I need to get the DVDs from 1993 to 1997 and have a marathon viewing.wwk5dnoreply@blogger.com
