YOU PROMISED ME 'DOG' OR HIGHER! The Simpsons Season 10 Poll

At first glance Viva Ned Flanders is the only one I think is properly consistently good.

is one of these the one with Burns and the trillion dollar bill? cuz that one. otherwise ugh.

oh wait that was season 9. yeah this crap is horrible.

Troy McLure

Troy McCLURE, stupid!

(strange, you shouldn't have been able to hear that)

"That's the last time I trust the strangest people on earth."

Definitely going with "Lisa Gets An A," mainly for the Pinchy subplot.

voted for 'Kidney Trouble', mainly due to the ship of lost souls bit

everyone should rewatch 'lisa gets an a,' which is the very last GREAT episode. well, not great like LISA NEEDS BRACES great, but definitely would pass muster as a decent season 7 episode. feels like the very last story they needed to tell, and it was all self-aware crap and stupid celebrity appearances from here on out.

"Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" for the "Kids" sing-off. Or "Mom and Pop Art" for Isabella Rossellini.

"Monty Can't Buy Me Love" probably the season's worst, iirc.

"Simpsons Bible Stories"
"Mom and Pop Art"
"Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo"

All quality.

also have a sneaking affection for the 'homer wants to be like thomas edison' episode, and at least some of 'simpsons bible stories' is good. btw do not rewatch season 11 unless you want to cry, i sat through it earlier this year after rewatching seasons 9 and 10 and thinking 'eh, these aren't as bad as i thought at the time, some good jokes here and there,' but season 11 is just pure crap from beginning to end, scarcely a single redeemable moment.

"The pie shall be cut in two. And each man shall receive... death."

But "Desperately Xeeking Xena" has many redeeming moments!

for some reason the halloween episodes stayed fresh longer than the other episodes -- i've seen ones even later than season 12 that were funny.

This is OTM. I'd pick this for the only episode this season -- or the next nine or ten seasons -- that could stand proudly next to the oil and salt of its departed brothers from seasons 3-7.

The grease business b-story is kind of one of my favorites, but the main plot is pretty bad. Anyway:

Homer: Umm... we're.. foreign exchange students from... Scotland.
Willie: I'm from Scotland! Where do ya hail from?
Homer: Uh, North... Kilt-town.
Willie: No foolin'? I'm from North Kilttown! Do ya know Angus McLeod?
Homer: Wait a minute! There's no Angus McLeod in North Kilttown! You're not from Scotland at all!

season 11 is just pure crap from beginning to end, scarcely a single redeemable moment.

Looking through the episode list - Beyond Blunderdome, Brother's Little Helper, Pygmoelian and Behind the Laughter all have their moments iirc.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

easiest choice of any of these polls, 'Lisa Gets an "A"'. By far the best A-story and by far the best B-story. Though despite what my adult judgment tells me I do have residual affection for a lot of these and certainly there are still quite a lot of entries in my everyday Simpsons reference database to be found here, which I think are close to 100% gone by the next season.

at this point in my life I should probably be able to hear references to Brown University without thinking "not Brown... Brown... Brown...", but nop.

I like a few of these, but this looks like the first season where the show could no longer sustain a consistent plot for three acts. Even my fave here--"Homer To The Max"--kinda goes off the rails in its final third.

Every time i watch "wizard of evergreen terrace" i start humming "the edison museum" by TMBG all day long.

Igotta go for the Tokyo ep tho. Its loaded with wasabi.

"HOWDY GANGSTAS."

"don't patronise me"

Also the ep has my fave cheesy Snake dad joke! "Yoink-dot-adios-backslash-losers!"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Haha what I was just about to vote in this

Lisa Gets an A, Bart the Mother, Thirty Minutes over Tokyo

Lisa Get an A was great all the way up to that bullshit "now here's the REAL comptroller" ending

agreed, but the subplot's ending with homer and the fate of pinchy makes up for it.

btw Phil, you missed a trick titling this one "the Internet? Is that thing still around!?"
