A Top-8 List of Simpsons Episodes

by Richard Ristow

simp.jpgThere doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of hard news, recently, regarding The Simpsons. Any time one uses a fish related story for a blog, one gets that feeling. At any rate, somebody has put together another list of favorites. Over on myfoxcolorado.com, the staff writers put together a “Top-8” list of what they consider to be the best episodes of the show’s lengthy run. The resulting article, however, starts with the following disclaimer:

There is not one definitive list of the top episodes of the Simpsons. It would be impossible for fans and aficionados of the hit FOX television to agree on such a list.

Of the episodes chosen, one can’t argue. All of them were equally memorable and hilarious. There’s the time that Homer went into to space, but a green rod gets all the fame and glory from it. There’s also the one where Homer and Flanders actually become friends, with little hostility on Homer’s part. There are others too, but as for ranking, I agree more with the opening two sentences of the article. No list, I think, will ever win over every fan of the show.
