300 Episodes of the Simpsons
circletimessquare writes "As we approach 300 Episodes of the Simpsons, Entertainment Weekly tries to pick the 25 best episodes of The Simpsons (and the one episode they consider the worst). They do a pretty good job. But since "best of" lists like this one are always rife with debate and contention, I can't think of a better place than Slashdot to send up EW (pun partially intended)."
And of course, it wouldn't be complete without the top 50 Simpsons quotes:

From the List of Inquiries and Substantive Answers, aka the alt.tv.simpsons FAQ:
How much does Maggie cost in the opening titles?
Maggie is listed as costing $847.63, a figure once given as the amount of money required to raise a baby for one month in the US.
For all things Simpsons, head on over to www.snpp.com.
No discussion about the simpsons is complete without mention of www.snpp.com (for springfield nuclear power plant), which is the largest database on the simpsons. It has descriptions of each episode, lists of errors, lists of references, essays, everything the simpsons related that anyone could ever want.

But the trivia question in The 138th Episode Spectacular said that the cash register read "NRA4EVER". What's going on here?
The trivia questions in The 138th Episode Spectacular are gags made to troll the audience, just like the images of Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon in the episode are not what those people really look like. The cash register question is a gag referring to the people who have labeled the show as "the most liberal on television" by portraying it as having an ultra-conservative slant.
R: That voice. Where have I heard that voice before? B: In about 365 other episodes. But I don't know who it is either.
Dunno if I'm giving away a good secret here, but in my expeirence the most extensive clearing house of simpson's information is:

I agree that the first season voicing was rough, but Bart the General was a great episode, as was The Crepes of Wrath.
Ditto on Worst Episode Ever... it was called Gump Roast.
For those with BRAVO, Inside the Actor's Studio will be having the cast of the Simpsons on this Sunday, February 9th at 8 pm (7 central).
+1 Insightful, -1 Troll. What can I say, I'm an Insightful Troll.
The episode that nearly had me sneezing milk was the one with the badger that terrorised Homer until Lisa looked up 'What Badgers Eat' on the web. The link took her to the http://www.whatbadgerseat.com site, which the show really set up. It's still there.
Well the reason the comic shop guy said that is that he had a cardiac episode (heart attack), thus the phrase "Worst episode ever".
D'OH! i particularly liked the episode about the flaming moe...dont remember when it came out but its an old one...
Phil died in 1998 and the show hasn't recoverted until very recently. Gronig pushing Futurama in '99 probably added to the slump.

Note: Although Fox is promoting Feb. 16th's celebration as the night the 300th episode is airing, it is in fact THIS episode that is the 300th by count.
Which is referring to last week's episode when Marge pumped some iron.
Trying is the first step towards failure.
Absolutely, one of my favorite episodes ever... None of the other 300 or so episodes is even remotely like it, animation is just gorgeous and unique especially Homer's trip.
Also such choice quotes as:
Homer: "So should I get rid of all of my possessions?"
Space Coyote: "Are you kidding, if anything you should get even more possessions, you dont even have a computer"
Voice: "Find your soul mate homer"
Homer: "Where, where?"
Voice: "This is just your memory, I cant give you any new information"
Bart: "Hey is that dad?"
Lisa: "Either that or Batman has really let himself go"
Homer: "Your from venus"
Marge: "And you're from mars"
Homer: "Oh sure, give me the one with all the monsters"
Best episode ever, now to kick who ever thought Itchy, Scratchy and Poochy was better in the nuts. Well either that or consoling myself by watching this episode a couple times.

Some people have a way with words, and some people, um, thingy.
Gump Roast was a good episode, as clip shows go.
"We've been watching your planet since it was created-- Five thousand years ago-- BY GOD." -- Kang and Kudos. It amused me.
"How 'bout a crazy wedding? Where something happens and do do da do do,
Sorry for the clip show,
Have no fears we've got stories for years." -- With a picture of Homer jumping a shark on a jetski, based on you-know-what.
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." -- Hanlon's Razor
