\"TVGuideSpotlight\"<\/a>Mill Creek Entertainment comprises five hours worth of Halloween episodes from some of their flagship sitcoms, and though it\u2019s a mixed bag, it\u2019s also a fun treat for the holiday. For folks that want to ring in Halloween without the gruesome horror entertainment, you\u2019ll find some really great specials here, some of which I\u2019ve seen at least a hundred times over. I can\u2019t imagine a better greatest hits DVD for families this year. Featured on the DVD is the season two episode of \u201cRoseanne\u201d entitled \u201cBoo!\u201d where the Conner family rings in Halloween, while Roseanne and Dan wage a prank war on one another to see who is best at gruesome and funny pranks. This is a hysterical one shot for the series, and it was never quite topped.<\/p>\n

The \u201cNews Radio\u201d episode entitled \u201cHalloween\u201d from season three is equal parts funny and weird. When the staff isn\u2019t invited to their boss Jimmy\u2019s famous Halloween party for being killjoys, they decide to get in to the spirit. Meanwhile boss Dave upsets girlfriend Lisa by wearing her dress as a costume, as Phil falls for an old woman at the party. It\u2019s a fun episode that the writers are never afraid to be surreal with. The \u201cMarried with Children\u201d episode from season eight is entitled \u201cTake My Wife, Please.\u201d It\u2019s a play on the classic \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Life,\u201d where Al wishes he were dead and is visited by the Grim Reaper who resembles Peg, much to his horror. On \u201cBewitched,\u201d the episode \u201cA Safe and Sane Halloween\u201d finds Samantha and Darrin getting a normal mortal Halloween with daughter Tabatha, who brings to life three monsters from a Halloween book. \u201cI Dream of Jeannie\u201d features the episode \u201cMy Master, The Ghost Breaker\u201d where Tony inherits a mansion that is said to be haunted, not realizing the former help and the lawyer of the estate are trying to scare him out of ownership.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jeffersons\u201d two part episode \u201cNow You See It, Now You Don\u2019t\u201d George competes with Tom and Ellen as comedy icons for Halloween, while putting up with the landlord\u2019s rotten children. Meanwhile, Louise accidentally witnesses a man in a bunny costume murder someone on the street, prompting everyone to believe Louise was hallucinating. When he turns up, he seeks to kill Louise and silence her. The \u201cSquare Pegs\u201d episode titled \u201cHalloween XII\u201d finds characters Patty and Lauren invited to a Halloween party with the popular crowd only to find they\u2019re being terrorized by someone outside, intent on ruining their night. The season five episode of \u201cThe Facts of Life\u201d features the group horrified to find out Mrs. Garrett\u2019s bakery was once the home of a vicious crime scene, and they soon begin to worry she might be possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. \u201cThe Cosby Show\u201d episode \u201cHalloween\u201d features the Huxtables trying to outdo one another with unique costumes, while Vanessa tries to build the courage to talk to a boy during a party.<\/p>\n

On \u201cMad About You\u201d the episode \u201cUnplanned Child\u201d finds Paul and Jamie having to babysit his ten year old nephew. Jamie has to take him trick or treating though when Paul is held up at work editing a film. The \u201c3rd Rock\u201d episode \u201cScaredy Dick\u201d sees character Dick running out of a medical appointment, while Sally and Tommy house sit and try to thwart trick or treaters from egging the house. There\u2019s the \u201cNed and Stacey\u201d episode \u201cThe Halloween Story,\u201d in which a costume mix up causes Ned and Stacey to make out. Finally, The Halloween episode of \u201cThat 70\u2019s Show\u201d features the group visiting an abandoned school to tell ghost stories but when they find their old permanent records secrets begin to rise to the surface, Fez is astonished by the concept of Halloween, and Kitty thinks back to the Halloween when she found out she was going to be a mother. It\u2019s a hilarious book end to a fun compilation.<\/p>\n
