Right to the top of S tier you go! Will the later episodes top this? Only one way to find out.

"Treehouse Of Horror V" - DON'T MIND IF I DO! (S rank) I don't think there's any other Simpsons Halloween episode that'll top this. If I can recommend anyone wanting something comedic, yet horrifying for the Halloween season, this episode will be one of them.

"The Shinning" - Homer goes crazy over no TV and beer

"Time and Punishment" - Homer bumps into Mr Peabody and Sherman when traveling through time

"Nightmare Cafeteria" - all the teachers are hungry to devour Bart, Lisa and Milhouse

Overture, curtains, lights This is it, the night of nights! I know if I was a child growing up with the show during Saturday, I'd have a blast of a morning eating my cereal watching some top cartoons (even though I'm a sucker of the pre-48 shorts) youtu.be/aFTTB6gOAJA

Treehouse of Horror IV - a classic (S tier too) Where do we begin with this one? Homer selling a soul over an eaten donut, Bart going nuts over a gremlin destroying a school bus and fittingly Mr Burns being Dracula. Yeah, they'll my favourites, finding it hard to pick a specific one lol

"The Devil and Homer Simpson" - Homer's eating way too many doughnuts without catching a breath

"Terror at 5+1⁄2 Feet" - Bart is looking at a gremlin destroying the school bus

"Bart Simpson's Dracula" - Bart and Lisa gets frightened by the vampires around them

Do I need to rank this episode? It's already going to be a top S tier! Like c'mon, you got the devil feeding Homer Simpson donuts and even he stop eating them. Fine, fine. Let me watch through this and give my overall thoughts. (also hope you like the new PFP and banner changes)

And here's the tier list so far - this is going right above the second one

Tier ranking of every episode - added III above II

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Treehouse of Horror III - each episode is topping one another. (S rank) Yeah, this is a banger - hard to pick a favourite segment as they're all great in their own way. Though if I did have to choose one, "Dial 'Z' for Zombies" is my pick - Homer killing zombie Flanders was the standout for me.

Clown Without Pity - toy Krusty is trying to kill Homer

King Homer - Homer faints from failing to climb a skyscraper (fun fact: this is Matt Groening's favourite segment in the Treehouse of Horror series)

Dial 'Z' for Zombies - Bart turns Lisa to a snail

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I will say I do prefer the transition scenes in the first one as the nightmares scene do break the flow of the episode as a whole. Other than that, really great stuff here. To the list you go!

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Treehouse of Horror II - definitely a fun episode, easy S rank for me Each segment was a blast: the Simpsons abusing a monkey's paw of wishes, Bart having a mind power and forcing everyone to obey him and Burns stealing Homer's brain to make a better worker only to end up as lazy as him.

Let's continue the binge-watching. Didn't manage to do it throughout the weekend as I was out all night, but now that I'm free, let's see what the second one offers.

Million Dollar Cat is a personal favourite of mine (up in my top 10) We finally get to see that mouse the medicine he deserved after treating Tom (though tbf, he started playing around with him at the beginning of the short)

Well I did say I was going to rank them - if I'm daring, there are tier lists online where you can rank each segment of every episode which knowing me, I may do that as well 😛

A tier it goes. Definitely a great start to the series.

I also enjoyed "Bad Dream House" too being this haunted house the Simpsons move where the house possesses the family to kill each other. I will say "The Raven" bit was the weakest of the three, but there's some great camera angles where Homer yells at the Raven.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Treehouse Of Horror - overall, pretty good For being the first one and for an early Simpsons episode, really fun. My favourite segment is "Hungry are the Damned" where we get to meet Kang and Kodos for the first time where they just wanna provide comfort for the Simpsons with Lisa's skepticism.

So it begins! Given there are over 30 episodes of the series, I would have to binge-watch a few at a time, but there's bound to be a gem hidden under each episode.

This month, I'll be watching and ranking every Treehouse of Horror episode and give my thoughts on each one. There will be ones that I haven't seen in ages and some I haven't watched, mainly the first few and the modern ones, so this'll be a fun watch. Gonna get started tomorrow as I'm a bit tired.

One more Don Williams' scene where his work shines working with Art Davis. The dry brush is really apparent here and his work starts to get loose as he animates Porky walking back and forth and talking seen in "Mouse Menace"

0187

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Time for Don William's work at WB. When he returned in 1946, he first worked with McKimson. Given he didn't want his cartoons to be "over-animated", the dry-brushes that Williams uses aren't apparent here, but his rigid, expressive traits are still here seen here in "Acrobatty Bunny"

0177

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Got a feeling he wanted another screwball character given how popular Daffy was. Given how people didn't like Jones' rabbit short at the time, given he tweaked up the rabbit's personality, he definitely saw some potential with the character and allow his top unit to have a go with this rabbit.

Or even Eddie thinking Freleng should use his woodpecker character rather than Clampett's canary to pair with his red-nose feline.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Time for this month's animator of the month which is Don Williams. Like Emery Hawkins, he moved across different studios in the West. His work is usually loose, but with a bit of rigidity with a good use of drybrush seen here in "The Beach Nut" as Wally Walrus chops down the hydrant Woody is in.

Funny you say that, I'm planning to do the marathon at the start of October and rank them as I go. I'll see if I do consider V to be a close favourite of mine as much as everyone says.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Yeah, it'll be interesting to check out the older ones as I haven't really grown up seeing them outside of clips here and there (I skipped past it during the marathon I did earlier this year cos I want to go through all of them next month)

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I should probably look into seeing which Treehouse Of Horror episode I truly enjoy. Currently, I stand at the XIV being my favourite as I enjoy all the segments here: Homer playing the Grim Reaper, Frink's father playing Franksetein and Bart using a stopwatch to freeze time.

I do wish Mel Blanc voiced the woodpecker more in these shorts. His wild, proto-Bugs acting of the bird is the reason why I still love his work before Kent Rodgers stepped in.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Just watching this short and The Cat Concerto, I still love the former, but still enjoy this. I dig the use of Die Fledermaus which fits the style of the series where tension rise between both characters fighting to conduct, but at the same time, the slapstick in Cat Concerto is a lot of fun.

Given my admiration of their 40s and 50s works with Mr Magoo, Fox and Crow, Gerald McBoing-Boing and Roody Toot-Toot, I honestly can't wait to see a fully fledged UPA documentation to come out. To any classic animation fan out there, this is definitely worth looking at once it comes out!

Love this episode - honestly up there as my favourite episodes from the pre-Movie era of SpongeBob. I genuinely smiled hard when Squidward realised his band wasn't as bad as he thought and actually played a banger of a tune and one-upping Squilliam. If you haven't watched this episode, do watch it!

Like McCabe's work gets overlooked, but watch one of his Daffy shorts and you're in for a treat. Same with Davis. His Daffy shorts are great, but his last few directed shorts with Dough Ray Meow, Bowery Bugs and Bye Bye Bluebeard are exceptional.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I personally agree with this. Every WB director had a selection of good and bad shorts, but they all had the intention to make the audience laugh. Even if some gags are misses in a short of theirs, you can still sit down and find some enjoyment out of them nonetheless.

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

With Road Runner shorts, it's hard to pick your favourite one as the ones you like are in different shorts. Honestly, the only two to me that stand out as having gags that top each other are Zoom and Bored and Stop! Look! And Hasten!

Daily Dose of Classic Cartoons @ddofcartoons.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Indeed so and I guarantee there will be a clip I'd love to use that wasn't in the final cut that I should've used instead. Ah well, may as well get to work on it. Wish me luck trying to craft it.

I've been struggling to make a compilation of my favourite Looney Tunes moments. Easiest parts is gathering the shorts, hardest part is knowing what to clip cos every second of great. I have almost 100 shorts though I will have to crop it down to 50, which that'll be another difficult chore to do.

Still can never choose my favorite actual LT joke, BUT, I will say, the music being "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" as Daffy threatens to knock Porky's teeth out made my jaw drop when I first noticed it. Carl Stalling is a genius and his music choices are jokes in themselves

Everytime I watch Wile E Coyote speaking within the Bugs Bunny shorts than the Road Runner ones, i can see where the Simpsons are coming from when comparing Sideshow Bob to Wile E Coyote if we see how he is written in these shorts and the vocal performances between Mel and Kelsey

Solid Serenade turns 80 today. One of the most beloved T&J shorts out there. Though as I said before, Mike Lah steals the show here animating the best, sharpest scenes of the short (outside of Ken Muse animating Tom's iconic musical performance)
