The greatest claim to fame this "Treehouse" has comes from final segment “Citizen Kang:” Homer’s final line, “Don’t blame me. It’s another short that takes a great idea – the Simpsons meeting their Tracey Ullman Show ancestors – and spends most of it retreading tensions in Homer and Marge’s marriage that have become a regular go-to for the show. The middle segment is the weakest, a "Black Mirror" spoof that doesn't amount to much more than another marital spat between Marge and Homer. It’s the same puerile slapstick humour as the Treehouse series…So if your kids enjoy the Treehouse series, they’ll probably love it.

The books are designed to be happening in real time while the characters are trying to finish the book. The adaptation is targeted to children between the ages of 6 and 12 and the adults that come with them. This Treehouse sets the tone early with an Election 2020 opening that, while accurate to that hell of a year, goes for every obvious (and unfunny) joke you’d expect latter-day Simpsons to go for. Jack, Shelly, Mandy and Roonie are neighbourhood friends, who meet up at their treehouse, discuss issues that.is just as loaded with background gags and Easter eggs, and it’s one of the best parodies in the entire series. Born and raised in Nebraska, he latched onto moviemaking at a young age and has been chasing it ever since. Some "Treehouse" segments suggest that someone had one good gag that no one realized wasn’t enough to sustain a short. But for all that can be said of The Simpsons’ later years, its ongoing "Treehouse of Horror" series has become a staple of American Halloween TV.

There have been years where the "Treehouse" is the highlight of the season – and in other years, not so much. And in the vengeful and shockingly prejudiced Grand Pumpkin, it boasts a character that throws the segment in a new, and hilarious, direction. But its closer, "The Last Thanksgiving/The First Blarg-sgiving," is a fun mash-up of various sci-fi/horror pictures that could have worked in a regular "Treehouse" (and was also the final performance of Russi Taylor as Martin Prince).

I just found there was a lack of any progression through the stories, it was just one absurd situation after another with little variation. The Babadook spoof is probably the best, being built around a character (Marge) who rarely gets to cut loose even in "Treehouse" episodes. From magic wands, to chairs on noses, toilet capers to piano fiascos, you never know what Terry and Andy are going to get up to next.

Treehouse Tales is a not-for-profit social enterprise created to enable all children to be truly literate. Chapter by chapter reading, writing and GPS activities which include: reading comprehension; character analysis; vocabulary work and drama.MoeFinger,” a mash-up of James Bond and Kingsman, can’t pull off the same alchemy; The Simpsons did better by Bond with Hank Scorpio. That holds true in the very first “Treehouse of Horror,” framed as Bart and Lisa swapping ghost stories. They even have a vegetable vaporizer that is a great way to eat your vegetables without having to taste them. The same is arguably true of “The Genesis Tub,” though here Bart stays at the level of bratty brother in Lisa’s funny Twilight Zone spoof.
