“I was saying Boo-urns”

Ah The Simpsons. A show which is well regarded as one of the best TV shows of all time purely based on it’s early seasons. While the show is still ongoing and has just completed its 31’st season, the magic of this beloved animated family started to wane somewhere after the first third of it’s total run. That said, at it’s best, The Simpsons in it’s prime has some of the snappiest/most hilarious dialogue, phenomenal visual gags, and the most heartwarming moments in TV history. This week join Tuong La and Attractive Shelbyville Cousins Matt Barrow, Taylor Fleming, and Samantha Leggatt as they ‘Do the Bartman’ while ranking Top 5 Simpsons Episodes!

Ground Rules

• Has to be an episode from The Simpsons (duh)
• While the entire catalogue of The Simpsons is up for nomination, we are mainly focusing on it’s early (and let’s face it better) seasons.
• Quotability and memorability is a factor
• This list is aimed to try to capture all the best parts of The Simpsons from the funny bits, visual gags, to those heartwarming classic Simpsons moments.
