If this gains popularity, I'll do more for other shows. Anyway, for some of us The Simpsons lost their way long ago. To others, crack is just a very available drug. But either way, damn near anyone on the planet has a favourite episode of The Simpsons. Here, tell us what it is and tell us why,
For me, The Simpsons was utterly superb between series four and eight. Ne'er a bad episode to be had. This just makes it harder for me to pick. Remember kids, Wikipedia is there to help.
I need to rethink this. Even unaided by Wikipedia, there's so many episodes I want to include. You carry on while I condense my list.

Marge vs. The Monorail
Iconic. There's no other way to put it. I'm not going to summarise you plot, you should damn well know it already. From Homer's parody of the Flintstone's theme tune at the beginning to the Monorail song, to Leonard Nimoy's first guest appearance... It's just all so goddamn perfect. How anybody could dislike this episode is beyond me.Homer's Triple Bypass
That's odd. Two episodes from season four, and yet I've confessed that season eight is my favourite season. A great episode that shows The Simpson's sad, emotional side yet performing a miracle in keeping the humour intact (who can forget the heart cam?). Wikipedia says it's the first appearance of Dr. Nick. Fucking awesome.I need to rethink this. Even unaided by Wikipedia, there's so many episodes I want to include.
