It's not Batman!
That episode is one of the best ever. I could be reading some magazine about some new high speed monorail train in Japan and in the back of my head I start singing monorail....MONORAIL.....MONORAILLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Damn song is gonna be stuck in my head for an hour now.

In the commentary (yes I always watch commentary of shows I have on DVD) Matt Groening says it is one of his fav episodes ever and contains his single favorite moment ever:
Quote:
Marge Simpson: [Marge opens a closet in the momorail] Homer, there's a family of opossums in here!
Homer: I call the big one Bitey.
|
Which I find very strange because that episode has much better moments than that one. Other than the aforementioned Batman sequence it also has:
Quote:
Homer: Are we gonna die son?
Bart: Yeah. But at least we'll take a lot of innocent people with us.

Quote:
[Homer and Marge discuss the dangers of a monorail]
Marge: What if something goes wrong?
Homer: Pffft... what if. What if I'm taking a shower and I slip on a bar of soap? Oh my god, I'd be killed!

There are more but I don't want to further derail this thread. Also Al Jean said in the commentary it was a first because the Simpsons producers and such said the show could never blatantly deny the laws of reality but then at the end Nimoy gets beamed away.
