In the past they've waited until after the World Series to air it; several times it has been the Season Premiere as Fox used to not do any new programming until baseball was over.

I would say a B-. Beer man Homer was meh. I liked the first two stories. Apu driving the big truck was the best part.

I thought the opening was the best part.
The 28 Days Later story started out strong andthen sputtered out halfway through.

I liked the Hitchcock "homage" the best.
I really hated the last one. What were they spoofing on that one? A musical? A play?

I would give it a C+ overall.
Opening - B
Hitchcock spoof - B+, Could have been great if they had put in some good jokes. Still it was generally well done and the animation was great.
28 days later - B-, I feel like they dropped the ball on this one, and they've done similar THoH segments before.
Sweeney Todd - D, Probably would have enjoyed it more if I had seen the original, but not by much.

If the last one was Sweeny Todd --- then it was just as boring as the movie.
The 28 days later did start out strong - but the ending lacked punch.
The Hitchcock one was interesting.
I do agree that it was nice to get this one before Halloween - when they air them after, it just does not "feel" right.

I liked Jimbo's Halo Master Chief costume. Pretty decent but I agree the 28 Days Later parody had WAY more potential than they actually used.

I really liked this episode, all of it. I even loved the Sweeney Todd bit, especially how they made it look like it was the Simpsons characters actually performing the play. Pretty cool if you ask me.
