If Fox ever makes a calendar, I won't buy it. Judging by the dates they air Simpsons episodes, their calendars are all kinds of wrong. Observe the table below:
| Holiday | Date of Holiday | Associated Simpsons Holiday Episode | Date Aired | Days from nearest Sunday to Holiday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Halloween | Sun Oct 31, 2010 | Treehouse of Horror XXI | Sun Nov 7, 2010 | 7 days earlier |
| Xmas | Sat Dec 25, 2010 | The Fight Before Christmas | Sun Dec 5, 2010 | 21 days later |
| New Year's Day | Sat Jan 1, 2011 | Donnie Fatso | Sun Dec 12, 2010 | 21 days later |
The first Simpsons episode ever ("Simpsons Roasting On an Open Fire") was an Xmas episode. It aired 8 days before Xmas 1989.
The first Treehouse of Horror was aired 6 days before Halloween 1991. Airing the Halloween episode 7 days late I could understand if Halloween hadn't fallen on a Sunday (regular air day for The Simpsons) this year! In fact, the Treehouse of Horror episodes have been showing after Halloween for years now! It has to stop.
Furthermore, it's mind-blowing that the Xmas and New Year's episodes are on 3 full weeks before the holiday.
Get your act together, Fox, and stop ruining The Simpsons.
