Entertainment & Music The Simpsons Part 3

[perthblue]

I love Trash of the Titans, You Only Move Twice, Monorail, Grimey. But honestly those first 9 seasons are just packed with so much gold its a waste of time to pick favourites.

Lisa The Simpson & Lisa The Vegetarian also great. Lemon of Troy another. Rosebud is really underrated I reckon.

I remember Grimey. Whatever happened to that guy?

Homer Badman was my long-term favourite episode. Think I rate Last Exit to Springfield slightly higher these days.

All of these are good nominations though.

Does S3E17 Homer At The Bat have any competition for greatest episode of all time? There are dozens of unbelievable and timeless episodes across the first ten or so seasons but I always thought that ep stood in a league of its own. Keen to hear some others' input.

I think I heard somewhere that one of the show's actors (think it was Julie Kavner) hated that episode - was her least favourite (at least at the time.) Something to do with the parade of guest stars.

I still think it's an amazing episode. Probably the earliest that makes it onto Top 10 lists purely for its jokes, unlike some of the more emotional-based stories around the early seasons.

Frank Grimes was never married how could he have a son!

"he happened to like hookers."

Doctor Monroe is one of my favourite early season characters.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bart vs Australia would definitely be in my top 10.

 

[TJASTA]

marge v the monorail is the best

Now up to S03E07 Treehouse of Horror II.

Like Father, Like Clown was awesome.

Ep 12 & 15 are great.

Now up to S03E07 Treehouse of Horror II.

Like Father, Like Clown was awesome.

Treehouse of Horror V with The Shinning is sensational.

 

[Cruyff14]

Bart vs Australia would definitely be in my top 10.

Why the thumbs down Andre? Fantastic episode. Full of laughs.

It's a shit episode. The best episodes of the Simpsons have taken something they want to make fun at and exaggerate it. WTF was 'the boot'? It's one of the few misses from the early seasons to me. It has no place alongside others in the season like "Lisa on Ice", "Lemon of Troy" and "Who Shot Mr Burns?".

I'm taking this all the way to the Prime Minister!

Hey! Prime Minister! ........ ANDY!

I hate how the episode made us look like it had great lines.

disparaging the boot is a bootable offence!

I'm actually envious that Cadaver gets to experience The Simpsons for the very first time, especially now that he's presumably old enough to appreciate all the jokes in their entirety. In my view the seasons up to about 10 or so are some of the finest comedy of all time.

 

[Forward Press]

marge v the monorail is the best

^^

Apparently Matt Groening hated that gag.
