Following on from part one of our countdown, here are the the top 25 episodes ever of The Simpsons…
25. Behind the Laughter (S11)
A unique ‘behind the scenes’ look at the Simpsons as if they were actors. It’s a hilarious sideways look at the family, as well as a brilliant parody of those star expose’ shows.
24. The Joy of Sect (S9)
The Simpsons are brainwashed into joining a shifty cult in a great satire of a certain religion (you know the one). Much fun is had from Homer being the highly suggestible type.
23. HOMR (S12)
Homer becomes a genius after having a crayon – the reason for his stupidity – removed from his brain. Seeing Homer in a new light is fun, plus it’s touching how he can finally connect with Lisa
22. Duffless (S4)
Marge dares Homer to give up beer for a whole month, in the best of the many episodes that focus on Homer’s alcoholism. Equally funny is Lisa testing if Bart is dumber than a hamster.
21. The Simpsons’ Spin-Off Showcase (S8)
A genius exercise in deliberately bad writing, as we get to see three pilots for potential spin-offs – Wiggum in a generic crime show, Moe in a hokey sitcom and the family hosting a variety show.
I love this! Totally agree with all of them 😂
What do you think of the newer episodes?
My blog (blogs.tapped-out.co.uk) is dedicated to Simpsons and TSTO

Thanks! I still watch and enjoy it most of the time. Definitely not as good as its heyday, of course, but I’ll still find myself chuckling a few times per episode. How about you?
Great site! Just followed. 🙂

I agree that some HD/recent episodes aren’t as good but it is hard to stop watching a family you have grown to love. I still watch, get excited about and like (some) recent episodes.
Thanks for following the blog BTW. Because it is self hosted the WP reader doesn’t work like it does for most blogs but you can still comment etc by going on the browser

Exactly. I will always love the Simpsons family. Homer, to me, has got to be the greatest TV comedy character ever.
Gotcha, thanks for the heads-up!

Out of interest: Do you play TSTO? The Simpsons Tapped Out.
If so, how long have you been playing?
If not, you should! You build your own Springfield and their are constant events which release fun limited time items that can be seen in the show. Super fun!

I’m ashamed to say I don’t. But you’re right I really should!
Loved Simpsons Hit and Run back in the day though!
