    The Simpsons 20th anniversary - What's your favourite episodes?

    Saw a rundown of the Guardians 20 favourite episodes so thought I'd ask here, but I'll keep it to my seven favourite. If you need reminding then look up wtso.net for every episode synopsis

    Anyway, and not in order of preference

    Homer at the Bat, Season 3 Episode 17

    Mr. Burns bets $1,000,000 that his company team can beat a competing plant's team. In order to do so, he replaced the regular company team with new security guard Roger Clemens, new janitor Wade Boggs, lunchroom cashier Ken Griffey Jr., and other new employees like Steve Sax, Don Mattingly, Ozzie Smith, Darryl Strawberry, Jose Canseco, and Mike Scoscia (who runs the solid contaminate encapsulator).

    Marge vs The Monorail, Season 4 Episode 12

    After getting $3 million from a fine due to Mr. Burn's illegal disposal of nuclear waste, the town decides to spend money on a needless monorail ....built from shoddy materials. Leonard Nimoy guest voices as himself.

    Whacking Day, Season 4 Episode 20

    While the town of Springfield prepares for the annual snake whacking day (which Lisa dreads), Bart gets expelled from school for embarrassing Mr. Skinner during a school inspection. Barry White guests

    Cape Feare, Season 5 Episode 2

    Sideshow Bob is paroled from prison, and he has only one thing in mind for Bart: revenge.

    Lisa On Ice, Season 6 Episode 8

    Sibling rivalry breaks out on and off the ice when Lisa proves to be a better hockey player than Bart

    Radioactive Man, Season 7 Episode 2

    Friendships could be torn when Bart and Milhouse are both up for the role of `Fallout Boy' in the new `Radioactive Man' movie. Meanwhile, the town of Springfield sees $$$ and milk the `Radioactive Man' film crew for all their cash.

    A Fish Called Selma, Season 7 Episode 19

    Troy McClure's sagging film career is given a boost when he is seen in public with a woman. And to stay in the public eye, Troy must do more than merely date this woman, who happens to be Selma.


    Also this surely has to be the Simpsons greatest song



    Perfectly captures Mr.Burns humorous evil from the early seasons (sadly lost after some time)

    The one where Bart goes to work in the Burlesque house is my favourite and has the best ever Simpson's musical number at the end.

    ...and the "Sex Cauldron joke" is one of my favourites.

    I'm scared that if I start listing my favourite episodes/moments/songs, I'll be here all night.

    Couldn't really pin one down but off the top of my head: the one which ripped off Rear Window or the one where Sideshow Bob becomes mayor.

    Tend to think more in terms of favourite scenes rather than episodes, as most every episode has something brilliant in it. If pushed the Frank Grimes one is one of my faves though, and the Hank Scorpio one.

    Favourite scenes include Homer trying to intercept his abusive letter to Mr Burns:
    "Hello, my name is Mr. Burns. I believe you have a letter for me."
    "Okay Mr. Burns, what's your first name."
    "...I don't know."

    Homer falling into Springfield Gorge twice on the skateboard and then the ambulance trolley, the bit where the ambulance drives a foot and hits the tree genuinely nearly killed me the first time I saw it.

    Moe undergoing the polygraph test:
    "I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment!"
    "Buzzzzzzzzz"

    The Stonecutters episode and the one where Homer goes to work for Hank Scorpio are my old favourites, but I saw the dental plan episode again recently, and it's a gem.

    Yeah the Hank Scorpio one, the Frank Grimes one and the Stonecutters for me. So many you could choose though. The monorail one as well.

    Yup, and I won't stop laughing. Is there anyone who doesn't like The Simpsons.

    Where Homer goes back to college, goes to space, they go to Australia, the Burn's Casino and where Burns wants to adopt Bart are some of the best ones.

    That reminds me: I read recently that that episode was running a bit short, and so the rake gag was extended by a minute. Ah, the happy accidents of history.

    Kelsey Grammar is the greatest as Sideshow Bob!

    The U2 episode is so nasty, while Ned Flanders going mental is precious!
