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)."

    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.
  5. Re:"Bart to the Future" the worst? NO! by EricWright · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.

  7. Phil Hartman Died in 1998 by N8F8 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Phil died in 1998 and the show hasn't recoverted until very recently. Gronig pushing Futurama in '99 probably added to the slump.
