Description:
The trick is on anyone expecting one of The Simpsons' infamous "Treehouse of Horror" episodes. "Bart Sells His Soul" and "Lisa the Skeptic" do not rank among this series' very best episodes, but true believers won't lose their religion. In "Bart Sells His Soul," Bart is convinced that the soul is "just something they made up to scare kids, like the Boogie Man or Michael Jackson." He sells his to best friend Milhouse for $5. When Bart no longer finds Itchy and Scratchy cartoons funny, he desperately tries to get his soul back. But Milhouse has already traded it for Alf pogs. &quo
The trick is on anyone expecting one of The Simpsons' infamous "Treehouse of Horror" episodes.

When Bart no longer finds Itchy and Scratchy cartoons funny, he desperately tries to get his soul back. But Milhouse has already traded it for Alf pogs. "Remember Alf?" he asks. Bart's dilemma is overshadowed by a subplot involving Moe's transformation of his tavern into "Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag." In "Lisa the Skeptic," only "science girl" Lisa refuses to make a leap of faith when an archaeological dig turns up a skeleton that looks like an angel. Homer promptly erects the skeleton as a statue and exploits it as a tourist attraction. Without being preachy (or particularly funny), this episode is pretty potent stuff, as the townspeople form a mob to lay waste to Springfield's scientific institutions, and nervously await the prophecy scrawled across the statue: "The end will come at sundown." Sayeth Homer, "I don't like the sound of that." --Donald Liebenson.
