The two part deliciousness that was WHO SHOT MR. BURNS will probably be my pick as one of the best of the entire series.

I don't know episode titles, but the two that come immediately to mind are the one where Bart sells his soul to Milhouse, and the one where Lisa helps Homer gamble.

I'm partial to the one parodying Evita.

"Behind the Laughter," the "Pulp Fiction"-like one and the one where Homer gains weight to get on disability are up there.

"And Maggie Makes Three" from season six. It opens with the Knight Rider parody "Knight Boat" then goes through telling the origin of Maggie and how absolutely perfect their lives were before Marge got pregnant a third time.

Just a complete grand slam of an episode.

I love so many, but:

Behind the Laughter
Homer Simpson v. The City of New York
A Streetcar Named Marge

I am the ultimate Simpsons fan. It was once the most original parody on television.

I'm partial to a number of episodes from the show's heyday (from the beginning to the Behind the Music episode).

My top 20 (titles courtesy of IMDb):

Bart the Genius - Bart cheats on an IQ test and goes to a smart school
Bart the General - Bart and his friends decide to take down Nelson
Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish - first appearance of the 3 eyed fish
Dead Putting Society - Bart and Todd Flanders tee off.
Bart the Daredevil - features the scene synonymous with The Simpsons: Homer jumping the canyon
Stark Raving Dad - the Michael Jackson episode
Homer at the Bat - Homer on the softball team
A Streetcar Named Marge - Marge in Streetcar: the Musical
Mr. Plow - no explanation needed
Marge vs. the Monorail - I consider this the best episode the show's ever done
Whacking Day - no explanation needed
Bart Gets Famous - I didn't do it.
Deep Space Homer - Homer the astronaut.
Itchy & Scratchy Land - another great parody (of, among others, Westworld)
A Star Is Burns - the film festival
You Only Move Twice - Hank Scorpio
Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala-Annoyed-Grunt-cious - Mary Poppins
Grade School Confidential - Skinner and Krabapple
The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson - WTC
Trash of the Titans - Homer becomes trash commissioner. Updated On: 3/19/07 at 04:55 PM

Monorail! It has a brilliant voice performance by Phil Hartman.
Also...Mr. Plow. That's my name. That name again is Mr. Plow.

i don't watch it that much (i'm a Family Guy person) but i'm quite partial to the one a couple weeks ago with Steven Sondheim... ^_^

Fantastic list Yankee. I take it you aren't to partial to the more recent episodes.

[Cruel_Sandwich]

Posted: 3/19/07 at 7:08pm

Don't forget A Streetcar Named Marge.

"Don't Cry For Me, Kids of Springfield."

'Nuff said.

The Stone Cutters.

Another vote for "A Streetcar Named Marge". It has all the humour and writing that made a classic Simpsons episode... classic.

I'll also add "Cape Feare", for the Sideshow Bob-hitting-the-rakes bit.

Every time I'm in the kitchen, with a knife aimed at some veggies, or I'm going to carve up a meatloaf, the line, "This won't hurt a bit, until I jam this down your throat!" comes to mind.

I remember a scary dentist says it to one of the Simpson kids. Maybe Bart?

wonderfulwizard11 - back in the day, there were about 20/25 really great episodes per season. That was the year of the monorail, whacking day, etc.

Now, there are about 2/25 per season that make me laugh.

It really has experienced a decrease in quality.

I just wish Fox would air old episodes rather than the terrible new ones....you know, the ones where Homer was genuinely stupid and not a retard?

I love the monorail one. Anytime we are in a monorail, I bust out with "monorail, monorail, monorail..." and then my boyfriend pretends he doesn't notice me.

I am fond of the Frank Grimes episode too. Don't really know why. I agree with Yankeefan and enjoy the episodes where Homer Simpson (local boob) was stupid, not retarded.

"The Cartridge Family" ...remember?
It was season nine, and I don't tend to like episodes that late, but it was so great. The first act just makes fun of how dumb and boring soccer is, which I love. (I mean I love making fun of soccer. I don't love soccer.) And the rest is a great episode about the family and an hilarious commentary on gun laws/gun ownership/the second amendment, etc.

I love the one where they buy the horse from the fair and Homer gets sucked underground by the elf people. I haven't seen that one in a *long* time.

My favorite episode was always Boy Scoutz in the Hood - the one where Bart became a junior camper. It always seems to get left off of "Best" lists but it is a CLASSIC -- best opening sequence of any episode - Homer with the peanut, talking to his brain, Bart and Millhouse on the Squishee bender,that great line about weasels: "Weasling out of things is what separates us from the rest of the animals...except the weasel"...the thing with how everyone enjoys knives to Ernest Borgnine leading the Boy Scouts - just a fantastic episode all around!
