Author Topic: Best Simpsons Episode - Season 4 Poll (Read 1232 times)

Well now we are really ramping up the quality with season four of The Simpsons, its time to decide which was the best episode!

Season One - https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351126.0 we had wins for Crepes of Wrath and Krusty Gets Busted, with no votes for the poor babysitter bandit in Some Enchanted Evening.

Season Two - https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351147.0 with five votes a piece we had a close run thing, eventually being won by Bart The Daredevil and One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Bluefish, with three episodes getting the famous nil points.

Season Three - https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=351172.0 we had a runaway winner with Homer At The Bat (contender for GOAT?) followed up by Flaming Moes. Four episodes got no love this time round, with Barts Friend Falls in Love, Dog of Death, Saturdays of Thunder and Treehouse of Horror 2 being rejected. Ha-ha.

So you know what to do. Five votes each but you don't have to use them all. Leave your comments below or I may lose interest before this all finishes

Marge vs The Monorail and I Love Lisa are two bankers, maybe even Lisa’s First Word as I’m a sucker for a flashback Simpsons episode. I’ll think on the others.

Oh shit, yeah, Last Exit To Springfield is a banker too.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #3 on:** January 5, 2022, 08:52:42 pm »

5 isn’t enough! I missed monorail off!

Mr Plow a classic, as is a streetcar named Marge

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #4 on:** January 5, 2022, 08:59:57 pm »

Last Exit To Springfield is my favourite episode with Marge vs the Monorail just behind. I Love Lisa is great too.

My other votes went to Homer's Triple Bypass (got to give Dr Nick some love

) and Brother From the Same Planet.

Homer: What am I supposed to do!
Homer's Brain: Pick up Bart! Pick up Bart!
Homer: "Pick a bar?" What the hell is "pick a bar?"
...
Bigger Brother employee: And what are your reasons for wanting a little brother?
Homer's brain: Don't say revenge, don't say revenge!
Homer: Eh... revenge?
Homer's brain: That's it, I'm gettin' outta here!
...
Homer: I love you Pepsi.

Let's get the basics out of the way first: Last Exit is the greatest comedy episode in the history of television, so that's taken care of.

Monorail, Heretic, Mr. Plow and Kamp Krusty is the rest of my top 5.

Last Exit is great as is the wonderful Mr Plow episode.

But for me it has to be ‘Marge vs the Monorail’.

Homer the Heretic is one my favourite, if not absolute favourite Simpsons episode, absolutely love it and the Jesus/blue car parable is one of the best jokes they've ever done. Agree with the Monorail and Last Exit to Springfield shouts as well. After those, it could half a dozen others really, getting really difficult to choose thse last two polls!

So hard, this one. Dental Plan was an automatic choice, and monorail, but really any of them are worthy. I immediately regretted not selecting Brother from the Same Planet.

Homer the Heretic (Please do not offer my god a peanut)
Mr Plow (Call Mr Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr Plow!)
Marge vs the Monorail (Batman's a scientist)
I Love Lisa (I choo-choo choose you)
Last Exit to Springfield (Dental Plan! Lisa needs braces)

If Marge vs the Monorail doesn't win, I'm accusing Jake of rigging the polls!

Another unpossible one, has to leave out some absolute classic episodes.

rafathegaffa83 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 6, 2022, 11:51:37 am »

Some great ones in this season:
- Last Exit to Springfield
- Marge vs the Monorail
- Kamp Krusty
- Homer the Heretic

So in conclusion: mono means one, and rail means rail.

Simpson,
Homer Simpson,
He's the greatest guy in history.
From the
Town of Springfield,
He's about to hit a chestnut tree.

They crammed so much into Marge Vs the Monorail that I’m sure a lot of people forget this song even exists, never mind it’s the same episode as the monorail song.

They put this in as it was the episode that broke the Flintstones record for the longest animated series on network telly.

It had another 30 years and counting after that.

That's a clear winner for me.

That never fails to make me smile.

Season 3 - 6 was the absolute zenith for me, and 3 and 4 is basically over 40 classic episodes.

For me, Marge v The Monorail is my favourite, but there's three or four that run it close.

Kamp Krusty is sensational. 'Here's my good friend 'Mr Black.'

Staggering the decline in quality from season 9 onwards really seeing all these threads.

It was inevitable, eventually everyone runs out of ideas, jokes etc but even if you only go up to season 9 thats still an amazing run. Of the other similarly popular shows, Friends was consistent 7/10 I’d say but never as funny as the Simpsons, Big Bang Theory has a great first 4 or 5 seasons and then just turned into a Friends parody and fell off a cliff. I have ever only watched it here and there over the years but certainly the recent episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm are still hilarious and that’s at season 11. Of the British shows, as good as they are there’s never the volume as our seasons are only 6 episodes most of the time and other then Only Fools and Horses you rarely get more then 20 episodes, there’s only 12 of Fawlty Towers and about the same of the Office for example.

Kamp Krusty is sensational. 'Here's my good friend 'Mr Black.'

For my money, it's one of the most quotable episodes in the entire series:

- Gentlemen, to evil
- Can will call you Uncle Blackie?
- Have a D-lightful summer
- Shut up and eat your pine cone!
- It ain't getting any safer
- Our arts and crafts center is in actuality a Dickensian work house
- These Gucci wallets have to be on the streets of Hong Kong by Friday
- A snake bit me. Get back in line maggot
- This is Krusty Brand Imitation Gruel. Nine out of ten orphans can't tell the difference
- Dear Mom and Dad, I no longer fear hell, because I've been to Kamp Krusty
- Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been to Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse than all of them put together. A group of school-aged Spartacuses have taken the camp by force. Three counselors are missing and presumed scared
- I feel like I'm gonna die, Bart. We're all gonna die, Lise. I meant soon. So did I.
