More Simpsons!

As mentioned previously, the "Mr. Burns" character from "The Simpsons" TV series is very Scroogey. And the series has been on for 30-plus years and has had many Christmas episodes. What this all means is that there are lots of references to "A Christmas Carol" sprinkled throughout the series!

In fact, the very first episode of the series in December 1989 was a Christmas episode - "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" - and Bart namedrops Tiny Tim!

Here are a few others:

Season 11, Episode 9 - "Grift of the Magi":

At the end of the episode, Mr. Burns brings a basket of money to the Simpsons'' Christmas dinner after being visited y three ghosts the night before!

Season 17, Episode 9 - "Simpsons Christmas Stories":

During the "Nutcracker Sweet" segment, a Scroogey Mr. Burns meets the Ghost of Christmas Past, which he quickly eliminates with the aid of a dust buster!

Season 22, Episode 8 - "The Flight Before Christmas":

Mr. Burns is Scrooge and Smithers is Marley's Ghost during the opening montage!

Season 23, Episode 9 - "Holidays of Future Passed":

A quick "Bah Humbug" from Mr. Burns on a billboard during the opening.

Season 25, Episode 8 - "White Christmas Blues":

A way more inspired billboard during the opening! Mr. Teeny as Tiny Tim? Brilliant!

And Scrooge meets a grisly end at the hands of "Frosty the Hit Man" in the video game of the same title!

And a wacky video! Adam Sandler tells us these three celebrate Hanukkah, however!

Season 28, Episode 10 - "The Nightmare after Krustmas":

A terrific couch gag! Scrooge-Burns unleashes the Christmas hounds!

Lots of fun! And you can watch all of these episodes on Disney Plus!

There's one other episode that fits our theme, but it deserves its own post!
