FXX will be airing all 552 Simpsons episodes starting at 10AM Thursday 8/21. Anyone else have their DVR set?

Oh, and here's a schedule for your viewing pleasure. It will take 12 STRAIGHT days.

Thanks for the schedule! I will set for specific episodes. They will all be on a "Simpsons World" App after the marathon is done.

Been looking forward to that schedule, thanks. Definitely setting the DVR for:

Marge vs The Monorail: Friday Aug 22, 9:00 pm
Homer at the Bat: Friday Aug 22, 11:30 am
Homer vs the Eighteenth Amendment: Sunday Aug 24, 11:00 pm
Lisa the Vegetarian: Sunday Aug 24, 4:00 am
Treehouse of Horror V (The Shinning, Time and Punishment): Saturday Aug 23, 4:00 pm
Itchy and Scratchy Land: Saturday Aug 23, 3:00 pm

Sooo many more. Will be great background noise for the next couple of weeks.

Don't forget Last Exit to Springfield and Homer the Great.

As a casual Simpsons fan (got into them late), I'd love to see which other episodes you guys suggest for recording. Pretend you're introducing the show to a total newbie and want to show them your top 5-10

If someone can help out with the title: Bart breaks his leg and a Rear Window scenario ensues; Martin has a pool....

That would change, because I have a lot of favorites. I think this is something worth considering:

In 2003, to celebrate the show's 300th episode "Barting Over", USA Today published a pair of Simpsons related articles: a top-ten episodes list chosen by the webmaster of The Simpsons Archive fansite,[209] and a top-15 list by The Simpsons' own writers.[210] The most recent episode listed on the fan list was 1997's "Homer's Phobia"; the Simpsons' writers most recent choice was 2000's "Behind the Laughter".

Most people consider Season 3 to 8-9 to be the show's heyday.


1. Homer at the Bat
2. Homer the Heretic
3. Marge vs. the Monorail
4. Last Exit to Springfield
5. Homer Goes to College
6. Bart Gets an Elephant
7. Bart of Darkness
8. Homer Badman
9. And Maggie Makes Three
10. Bart vs. Australia

That's as far as I got in seasons 4-6 looking for what I thought were great episodes.

I'll add that the Frank Grimes episode "Homer's Enemy" from Season 8 is always on my Top 10 list. Apparently the episode is somewhat divisive: people either love it or hate it. Some list in on the best episode list while other used it as a sign of the decline of the show.

Was Grimey a composite of fans that complained about Homer? I always wondered...

"El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)"

This is on Sunday the 24th @ 6:30pm. One of my favorites, featuring Johnny Cash as The voice of Homer's spirit guide.

What is the episode with the greatest quote per minute ratio? My guess is 22 Short Films About Springfield

That's a good choice. Marge vs the Monorail is also highly quotable throughout.

So many!!

Grade School Confidential has some great quotes.

Principal Skinner: We're not coming down until you acknowledge and celebrate our love!
Maude Flanders: I don't think we're talking about love here. We are talking about S-E-X in front of the C-H-I-L-D-R-E-N!
Krusty the Clown: Sex Cauldron? I thought they shut that place down!

Homer Simpson: Bart's teacher's name is Krabappel? I've been calling her Crandall!

Ralph Wiggum: Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!
Chief Wiggum: The baby looked at you?

Chief Wiggum: [Principal Skinner, demanding that his relationship with Mrs. Krabappel be respected, exits the school with what looks like a bomb strapped to his chest] Wait a minute... that isn't a bomb! Those are hot dogs! Armor hot dogs!
Superintendent Chalmers: [shaking his head] What kind of man wears Armor hot dogs?

As a parent of small children, my wife and I spell out things all the time. Every now and then, when it feels appropriate, I throw in that sex cauldron quote just to mix things up.

Homer at the bat is my favorite episode. I gave up on The Simpson's when it went from family tv to raunchy humor around 1995-96.

I'm a big fan of "Sideshow Bob Roberts." That episode has some fantastic lines.

Homer: "Hmmm. I don't approve of his Bart-killing policy. But I do approve of his Selma-killing policy."

Lisa: "Do you know what this means?"
Bart: "The dead are rising and they're voting Republican!"

Also love the Itchy and Scratchy Land episode.

Every time my SO asks me if I remembered where we parked I respond, "The Itchy lot."

Itchy and Scratchy Land is great. I comment that "We need more Bort License Plates" every time I see one of those key chains at some tourist shop.

My favorite exchange of all time:

Principal Skinner: Uh oh. Two independent thought alarms in one day. The students are overstimulated. Willie! Remove all the colored chalk from the classrooms.
Groundskeeper Willie: I warned ya! Didn't I warn ya? That colored chalk was forged by Lucifer himself!!

You're right, Marge. Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, "I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later..." And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!

Homer: "Hmmm. I don't approve of his Bart-killing policy. But I do approve of his Selma-killing policy."

LMAO. I say this every time i go into a voting booth!!

Lisa the vegetarian is up in the top for quotes, including the one above.

quote:

---

Lisa: Dad! Can't you have some other type of party, one where you don't serve meat?

Homer: All normal people love meat. If I went to a barbeque and there was no meat, I would say 'Yo Goober! Where's the meat?'. I'm trying to impress people here, Lisa. You don't win friends with salad.

---

quote:

---

Homer: Are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Pork chops?

Lisa: Dad, those all come from the same animal.

Homer: Heh heh heh. Ooh, yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

---

quote:

---

Lisa: Wait Dad! Good news, everyone! You don't have to eat meat! I've got enough gazpacho for everyone.

[Crowd murmurs]

Lisa: It's tomato soup, served ice cold!

[Crowd laughs out loud as Lisa growls and stomps off]

Barney Gumble: Go back to Russia!

---

Bart: Dad, you shot the zombie Flanders!
Homer: Flanders was a zombie?

Grade School Confidential is great:

quote:

---

Willie: Willie hears you. Willie don't care.

---

Also the Tomacco episode is an all-time favorite.

Do not touch Willie. Good advice.

Don't go reading my mind between 4 and 5. That's Willie's time!

Don't feel bad for losin'. I was wrestling wolves back when you were at your mother's teat.

Can't wait to watch the chili pepper episode. That episode basically defined most of the spring of my sophomore year of college but I haven't seen it since then.
