Very good episode, subby. But El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer is by far and away the best. Johnny Cash as a space coyote just works on so many levels. Link (new window)

That there are so many nominees for "Best Simpsons Episode" in this thread demonstrates exactly the quality of the show. This show's writers and producers deserve big credit for continually putting out a product that is above average by default.

SlagginOff: I think we can all agree that any given episode from seasons 2-10 is better than 90% of anything that has ever been on or will ever be on television.

And this is why you'll never see me biatching about the current quality of the show like many have been in recent threads. Yes, it's been years since I've been a regular watcher. And when I do, the show ranges from "meh" to "pretty funny". But for seasons 2-8, as well as several episodes from seasons 9-12, they get a lifetime free pass from me. They can continue to make mediocre episodes for all long as the show continues to remain profitable. All power to them.

No one liked the 138th Episode Spectacular? Not my fave, but still.

Also, Bart the General (I think it's Episode 2) is underrated. Watch that again - a total Bart episode, dealing with real-world issues for kids (I was 8 when the show started), and in a total Simpsons way.

Another vote for Monorail, Scorpio (used to work with a guy we called Hank Scorpio because the resemblance was uncanny), the first...9 Halloween episodes (from The Raven to 3D Homer), and every damned line from the vegetarian episode.

No love for Stonecutters in here? That was the episode I used to show friends to get 'em into it. Ahhh, the magic of VCR's...

/You Only Move Twice might be a tie for my favorite episode...

Lisa's Rival is my pick for the most underrated episode. The whole Homer's sugar pile subplot just makes the episode great.
