In 1990, In The Simpsonsʹ episode “TREE HOUSE OF HORROR”, The weekly brilliance of The Simpsons often takes on an added sheen when the writers turn the family loose in familiar pop-culture vehicles — as we saw here, when Homer and Company stumbled into scary-movie spoofs of “Psycho”, and “Fall of the House of Usher” and even a “Twilight Zone” episode. The first section of this three-part show finds the Simpsons attempting to stay in their new, haunted house overnight, despite blood dripping down the walls. The second sees them abducted by aliens, whose generous catering convinces Lisa that the family is being fattened up for an E.T. feast. The final chapter brings us Lisa reading Edgar Allan Poeʹs horror classic “The Raven” in the tree house while Homer listens, terrified, in the yard. The trick-or-treat conceit worked so well that it has become a Simpsons tradition.

In 1990, “W.I.O.U.”, TV General Drama; debut on CBS.

In 1991, In The Simpsonsʹ episode “LIKE FATHER LIKE CLOWN”, Krusty the Clown a Hasidic Jew? The concept has “oy vey” written all over it — unless, of course, you factor in the satirically gifted Simpsons writers. With a nod to “The Jazz Singer,” Krusty reveals to the Simpsons a painful secret: His father, Rabbi Krustofski, disowned him for choosing pies in the face over piety. Flashing back to kiddie Krustyʹs shtetl-like surroundings and early entertaining impulses wouldʹve been enough; but Bart and Lisaʹs attempt to crack the Rabbiʹs hardened heart with Talmudic teachings made it the most learned half hour of humor in history. For added authenticity, the role of Rabbi Krustofski was played by Jackie Mason, who could relate: Like Krusty, he came from a long line of rabbis, and like Krusty, he would rather be clowning.
