3. Roseanne: ‘Boo!’
Do you enjoy a good Halloween themed special? Well, then you owe Roseanne Barr a huge thank you. Her show, Roseanne, can be credited with airing the first Halloween special in 1989, a showcase of all the great Halloween traditions of middle America. The Conners are your typical lower class American family that knows how to tease each other right up to the breaking point. But together they form an awesome team, creating a haunted house that could rival any professionals. The episode is full of the Conners inviting trick or treater into their house, just so they could scare the bejesus out of them. Something you definitely couldn’t get away with nowadays. One of the very best holiday specials from an extremely underrated sitcom.
