Here is a list of some of my favourite Simpsons episodes. These are not necessarily the best, or most classic ones, just my favourites. So classics like Flaming Moes, Marge vs. the Monorail and Mr. Plow are excellent episodes that regularly appear on Best Simpsons Episodes lists, but are not on this list. |
