22 Short films about Springfield was for me the best ever episode where it slipped from character to character.
The X Files one up there as well , Mulder's ID photo 😁

classic simpsons is just marvellous and really changed the landscape of modern tv and satire, its a shame it tailed off but there are arguably 10 series of amazing episodes still
in terms of characters its tough but
Ned Flanders
Ralph Wiggum
Bleeding Gums Murphy
Honourable mention too Kent Brockman, when he won the lottery and started presenting the news iced out and wearing a fur coat!
episode wise
Bart on the road, where he gets a fake drivers licence and goes on a road trip with Milhouse, Nelson and Martin, utter genius episode that ends with Bart in Hong Kong Delivering himself back to Springfield
Lemon of Troy, the kids from Shelbyville steal the Springfield lemon tree, then at the end, lets all enjoy a cool glass of turnip juice
Homer at the bat, the plants softball team get replaced by ringers from the pro leagues
but the greatest has to be Marge vs the Monorail, the song, the one liners (batman is a scientist) Leonard Nimoy chewing up the scenes, utter genius episode
best one liner in the simpsons
Deep Space Homer - Homer this Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, Aldrin "second comes right after first"
the writers were concerned that he might be offended and it was disrespectful but he loved it!!

Are they still making new episodes of The Simpsons? I tend to just watch the old classic episodes when they're on but I remember watching a couple of newer episodes I'd not seen a couple of years ago and being a bit sad by how poor they were.......

Yeah unfortunately I've not watched one in years though. Even worse, the flashbacks now make it look like Marge and Homer grew up in the 90s  |

Homer goes to college is right up there for me and is mad to think the episode before is Cape Fear, absolutely unreal episodes one after the other. When the nuclear response type team turn up at the college and Homer says "in there guys" and they reply "thanks Homer" like this has happened many times before. It's the subtle laughs that are the best. When Homer shouts NERD out of the car window just creases me everytime. Great episode with the crusty old Dean and the nerds. The episode where Bart witnesses Mayor Quimby nephew assault on the waiter is classic with Homer on the jury wearing his stay awake glasses. The Thelma and Louise episode with Marge and Ruth with wiggum and Homer in pursuit another brilliant episode |

The episode with Rodney Dangerfield playing Larry Burns is my fav, followed by the one where Mr Burns kidnaps santa's little helper pups to make a fur coat.

Used to love the one when Homer gets a new job out of Springfield, and it culminates in that James Bond style final set piece

So many great characters to choose favourites, but this moment always stands out for me. Anytime I have a bbq I inevitably sing this to my wife!

Lionel Hutz
Mcbain
Chief Wiggum
Lionel Hutz is just bloody fantastic. Every time he’s on screen it’s comedy gold.
What a programme from series 3-9/10. One of the best programmes by far.
Favourite episode is tough. But has to be Homer Badman. The minute segment on rock bottom is just unbelievable, starting with the ‘agh crap’ when Homer realises he’s been stitched up to ‘dramatisation may not have happened’. Amazing.
