Short #34: Simpson Christmas
I know it's four months until Christmas at the time of this blog, but it still needs to be given a thought. The one word I would describe this is sweet. Even with Bart telling his version of "The Night Before Christmas", he tells it in a good manner while it stays funny. Groening captured that feeling of what a kid might think during the holidays. A solid way to end 1988.
Score: 7 out of 10
Short #35: The Krusty the Clown Show
If the title didn't give you a clue, this is the very first time we see Krusty the Clown. For a first appearance, they got it down well, though the voice would take some time to get perfected. As far as the short goes, it's funny. I'm not sure if most kids would react like Bart when being in the audience, but it could happen. Although this predates the movie Elf by over a decade, some can be disappointed by what they see if they have their own version of someone. Either way, it's the start of many moments where someone gets embarrassed by something that happens on TV. Solid to begin 1989.
Score: 7 out of 10
Next week, Bart becomes a local hero, and has a fantasy of his own.
