Created by Matt Groening, The Simpsons is the longest running animated and episodic television series in the world. With 28 Seasons, the show has been running since 1989 and will likely be in syndicate for the next 30+ years with reruns and new episodes. It is a pop culture phenomenon that continues to lure in a new generation of fans, even though it can be argued that the show "jumped the shark" in the 9th season with the episode Principal and the Pauper.
While I'm not a superfan in the sense that I MUST buy all Simpsons related merchandise, I must admit that I've seen every episode from Season 1-17 at least three or four times. When I was young I would co-ordinate my schedule so I would not miss an episode of The Simpsons and as a result I viewed 14 episodes a week on average. I still watch the show, albeit older episodes, when I have the time and you'll still find me quoting the series in everyday conversation. "Did you say boo or boo-urns?"
With that in mind I think I'm qualified to name my ten favourite Simpsons' episodes. Let me know what your favourite Simpsons' episodes are.
