Treehouse Of Horror XX: The Simpsons Do Hitchcock On Halloween Special (VIDEO)

The Simpsons celebrated their twentieth Halloween special last night with an ode to Hitchcock. The segment was called "Dial M for Murder," but the plot more closely mirrored that of "Strangers on a Train" in which two men decide to kill each other's "loved" ones. In the chase scene, the music from "North by Northwest" played, and they pushed a likeness of Hitchcock (who always appeared in his own films) off Mt. Rushmore, where Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint scrambled for freedom at the end of that film.

I watched it and thought it was mildly amusing, but I wouldn't care to see it again. Not a great episode.

wait......isn't that the plot from "strangers on a train?"

I thought the same thing. This is from Strangers on a Train, not Dial M for Murder.

One comment? Did anyone watch the show? Was it any good? I can't hardly watch anymore because the quality has been so poor and I hate to see once great shows go bad.

Watched this last night, and when Bart said "what they really mean is 'lock the door and hug'" I heard it as "lock the door and f**k." I guess even Rupert Murdoch has his limits.
