Marge vs. the Monorail is still the best episode in the entire run of the series. Fight me.

The heartbreaking disappointment of Chief Quimby saying “…the ring came off my pudding can…” before the Monorail guy comes to the rescue with his pen-knife.

I’m not nearly ‘nerd enough’ to have a favorite Simpsons ep.

Does it mention what episode it is in the video?
For me, it happened during season 3, somewhere between Bart the Murderer and Saturdays of Thunder (the running gag with 3 time soapbox derby champ Ronnie Beck killed me when they made the big reveal). By the time they hit the Flaming Moe’s episode I was sold on it’s lasting greatness.
I rewatched the entire series in reverse during the first year of the pandemic. It was a wild trip back through almost my entire life, but it was like watching a really mediocre show get slowly worse and then suddenly amazing.

I for one, welcome our new YouTube overlords. I’d like to remind them as a trusted internet commenter, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground content mines

I like that hated Seymour Skinner episode. At the time everyone I knew did too. The fact that they conclude with “and everything will go back to the way it was … under penalty of torture” was genius. A sly reference to how TV shows always wrapped everything up at the end no matter what. I also agree the monorail episode is probably the best episode, excepting the Halloween specials. Those early years the gags came so quickly you’d miss some because you were laughing so hard. I cant even watch the new shows, I’d even bet haters would agree the Seymour Skinner episode blows them away.
