That's pretty scary--Last Exit is probably one of my all-time favorite episodes. That, Deep Space Homer, and Homer's Barbershop Quartet may well be my top three (it's so hard to choose). The one issue I have with the list, though, is #19, the spinoff episode, which I absolutely hated. Other than that, not bad, and better than the TVTome one, IMO.

I think the Hank Scorpio episode is "You Only Move Twice". I agree, should be on the list.

My favorite quote from that episode:
Hank: Ever see a guy say good-bye to a shoe?
Homer: [chuckles] Yes, once.

And:

"Oh, the hammock district."

"....and the possibility of MORE donuts."

And one of the great computer shut-down wavs of all time, the string of good-byes.


Ep is a classic.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

What about:

"Lisa's Wedding" ?

This was TV Guide's pick as the greatest "Simpsons" episode ever. It perfectly illustrates the magic of the Simpsons Universe.

Anyone agree?

I do not like any of the episodes that do not prominently feature the Simpson clan.

The "spinoff episode" was one of the worst.

And FWIW, I loved the Behind the Laughter Episode.
and I consider it in my "TOP LIST"

--------------------------
All but first three are in no particular order:

1. Bart of Darkness
2. Lemon of Troy (some of the best one-liners ever)
3. One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish

The Crepes of Wrath
Bart the Murderer
The Simpsons Christmas Special
Itchy & Scratchy & Marge
Marge On The Lamb
Behind the Laughter
Krusty Gets Kancelled
Cape Feare
Boy-Scoutz N the Hood
Much Apu About Nothing
Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious
Bart the Mother
Marge Simpson in: "Screaming Yellow Honkers"
Viva Ned Flanders
Wild Barts Can't Be Broken

You Only Move Twice should definitly be on their top 25 list.

I think it's impossible to make a top list as there are so many episodes. It would have been better to put them in no particular order.
