Fox isn't making us wait this year. For the past few years, the season premiere of "The Simpsons" has aired after the World Series. That has meant either late October or early November and that has meant the first episode has been the annual Halloween episode.
This season we're blessed with the premiere tonight. It's Season 17, which I still find difficult to believe, and as always I'm quite excited. No, "The Simpsons" tonight won't be as sharp or as funny as "The Simpsons" from ten years ago, but it still has its moments and it still gets me to smile and laugh.
The world needs laughter.
