Man I've been meaning to start this thread for a looooooong time.
I caught a few really good episodes in the last couple of weeks. On sat and sun they seem to show 3 in a row and it is usually a mix of new and old episodes.
I saw the one where Skinner gets fired and Flanders takes over and Lisa's Rival.
Man they were both hilarious. It got me to thinking about my favorite episode of all time. My usual answer would be You Only Move Twice. Got me to thinking about the top 10 episodes. Googled it and found a decent list voted on by fans.
Thought this thread could be used to discuss not just the list but the Simpsons in general. New stuff, the classic episodes whatever.
The list:
Number 10: A Streetcar Named Marge (Season 4, Episode 2)
Number 9: Homer Badman (Season 6, Episode 9)
Number 8: Homer the Heretic (Season 4 Episode 3)
Number 7: Lisa's Substitute (Season 2, Episode 19)
Number 6: Deep Space Homer (Season 5 Episode 15)
Number 5: El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (Season 8 Episode 9)
Number 4: Marge vs. The Monorail (Season 4 Episode 12)
3: Last Exit To Springfield (Season 4 Episode 17)
Number 2: Cape Feare (Season 5 Episode 2)
Number 1: You Only Move Twice (Season 8 Episode 2)
The actual link contains a short write up on each episode.

I think it's a pretty good list. Probably wouldn't have included the Johnny Cash episode and Deep Space Homer would have been a bit lower.
But the part of the list that reaffirmed what most already know was this:
Interestingly, all of your top 10 come from the first decade of The Simpsons - in fact of the 100 or so episodes voted for, only a handful were from the 21st century.
