The 92 Best Simpsons Episodes Of All Time
Last week marked the end of an era on the CBC. For the first time in over a decade, no Simpsons episode was shown at 5 PM since the network decided to not renew its syndication rights. Instead, the plan is to have a longer newscast and take on 'Ghost Whisperer' as its only new American import.
That's right. The f'in Ghost Whisperer.
Needless to say, it's a sad day for the CBC. But since now Canadian Simpsons fans have one less outlet through which to enjoy arguably the greatest show of all time, I'll try to fill the void by presenting my list of the 92 greatest episodes in Simpsons history. Why 92? Two reaons: I began watching the show in 1992 and because these were the 92 that I just felt couldn't be omitted from any list of my personal favourites. My original intent was to do a top 50 list, but hey, it's me --- of course I'm going to go overboard.
Here they are, the glorious ninety-two. Check out Wikipedia for a full description if you don't know an episode from its title alone.
Note: this was a very tough list to compile. Anything in the top, like, 30 had a legit shot at being #1, and it still might depending on my mood. Needless to say, if you're one of the few people on earth who has never seen the Simpsons (LORI), this list is, if nothing else, a decent reference point for where to start if you want to get into the series.
Stay tuned for my upcoming list of the 92 greatest Ghost Whisperer episodes! Due on September 31, 2087

Man...I need several hours to dissect this, but..."Behind the Laughter" at #42?? Shocking. If not my #1, it's easily in the top 3.
"Much Apu about Nothing" is my favourite -- if only for the immortal exchange between Homer and Lisa... "Let the bears pay the Bear Tax, I pay the Homer Tax!" "That's the Home Owner Tax!" Plus, I'm a sucker for political stuff.
Though, "Homer at the Bat" is a close second... I'm surprised it didn't rank higher on your list because of its baseball content.
This one is the great episode of this show. I was looking a site to Watch The Simpsons episodes Online with all episodes and get found this post.
