The Simpsons: 11 Best Episodes From Season 11

11. Treehouse Of Horror X

Let’s get an agreeable one out of the way first. It’s hard to argue against the consistent quality of the Treehouse of Horror episodes, and while every now and then there are individual segments that are duds, even the most jaded Simpsons fan still looks forward to a new batch every October.

“Treehouse of Horror X” is no exception, delivering three very funny segments. “I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did,” a parody of the I Know What You Did Last Summer series, is a delightfully absurd sendup which features corpse puppetry right out of Weekend at Bernie’s. “Desperately Xeeking Xena” is a fun superhero parody that features one of the season’s best guest stars in the warrior princess herself Lucy Lawless (“Xena needs xex”). Topping it off is “Life’s a Glitch, Then You Die,” a hilarious what-if that sees the Simpsons trying to survive the Y2K catastrophe (kids, ask your parents). The climax involves Bart and Homer managing to find an escape rocket with several famous celebrities... only their travel partners are less than desirable.
