| The Simpsons, "Treehouse of Horror XXXI" |
Happy Halloween Again! Don't put your costumes away quite yet because Fox still has to serve you its annual Sunday lineup of Halloween episodes. And of course, the cornerstone is still The Simpsons' long-running "Treehouse of Horror." Tonight is the 31st "Treehouse" and this installment includes parodies of the Toy Story, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and the 2020 election.
Elsewhere, Hugh Laurie is Minister for Transport, King Henry VIII might be unfaithful, National Geographic examines viruses, Gretta eats her sadness away, teenagers cross the Mississippi River, and Spear and Fang meet some advanced humans.
Space, the final frontier, here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 1!
