terminoob Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Since I've only seen three, I'm picking Homer and Apu. If I have to go over every one that has aired, Homer's Triple Bypass. I was thinking every episode up until the current episode airing on FXX. I think Boy-Scoutz n' the Hood would be my favorite. The "cartoons don't have to be 100% realistic" joke is one of my favorites in all of TV. Last Exit to Springfield is also definitely up there. Probably second.

Young Nug Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 As aforementioned, I Love Lisa and Brother From Another Planet were great examples of what made this show amazing. Kamp Krusty and Burns' Heir (which is on right now) have also had me laughing out loud. Krusty Gets Busted, Some Enchanted Evening and The Telltale Head were also really great early episodes. I really can't wait for these next three seasons. There's only like one episode below an 8/10 from Season 6 onward for a while, and that several season string of greatness is just gonna be swell.

Joe Biden Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Anyone know if they're playing the movie too? Yes. August 29th at 6 PM EST. Bad news. I'll be volunteering at a high school football game. Good news. I've already watched it before on FX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already watched it before on FX. Ah. Cool. I'll be at school and I already own it so it doesn't matter to much to me, I was just curious if they were gonna air it or not bother since they've had the rights to it for a while.

Elastic Dawg Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 RE: favorite episodes: ROSEBUD. And the one where Bart gets an older brother. Haven't seen them in ages but I hope to catch them during the marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanideFishbone Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Just watched Homer Badman and it was a great episode. I'm also going to catch Homer The Great at 7 tonight. I went to the mall earlier today and there was a Time Warner booth at the mall and they had TV's and they were playing the marathon, and people were just standing around watching it. No kidding. "Hey man, do you want to go to the mall to go back to school shopping?" "HELL NO! I'm going to watch The Simpsons there, even though it'd take less than a minute to get off my ass and watch the marathon!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urchees Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Whacking Day and Marge in Chains had me dying. I didn't realize they've had this wide ranging cast since the beginning. I had always thought it built up over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegiSpongie Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I saw the episode "Maggie Makes Three", and I really liked it. I hardly ever watch the Simpsons, but for the past couple days, I've been watching the marathon and am really enjoying the episodes I've been seeing.

Young Nug Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I never knew they actually did an episode where Troy McClure was the main character. It's cutting me up right now, like wow. The Planet Of The Apes musical is probably one of the funniest parodies the show's ever done, and the insane amount of subtle "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" jokes in this one are crazy. I really love that as the show moved on it stopped focusing just on The Simpsons and the scope expanded and they had the ability and freedom to have entire episodes where the actual Simpson family could be background characters and they could focus on a nobody gag-character like Troy McClure and have it be a fantastic and deep episode. This show was so fantastic. I just can't get over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumbo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Holy crap, was Phil Hartman ever brilliant on that show. I might go far enough to say he's my favourite cast member, if not for Hank and Harry. Dan's pretty versatile too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Sejima Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Stayed up all night to watch "Who Shot Mr. Burns" and both parts were done perfectly. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanideFishbone Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I've pretty much been watching this all day. I've caught classics like You Only Move Twice, the beach episode, and my personal favorite episode, Homerpalooza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crushingmayhem Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Haven't watched The Simpsons in ages, last time I did was the Spanish dub on local television. This seems like something good for newer viewers, even though I don't have FXX myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
