Great article, thanks for the link!

Choice #22 is...well...wrong, but they picked a lot of good ones for their favorites (but where's "Lisa's Substitute"?)

I bought the rag (not something I do often) and I don't argue with their choice of 25 greatest, though they definitely could've picked more than one "worse episode ever."

BTW, did anyone notice that most of the Top 25 are from the early seasons? I don't have the magazine handy now but I think only two or three were from within the last two seasons.

If you ask me, any episode from the last 5 seasons in a *top* 25 list is too many...

Very good list. I expected a list with too many recent episodes but there are a lot of great classics, even some emotional and serious stuff like "Fast Lane" or great "I love Lisa." I like that. Most of the top episodes are from the early 90s and there�s just one recent episode, "Strummer Vacation", and even this one isn�t really bad.

I don�t think "Bart To The Future" is the worst episode ever, but S11 is IMO the right place to look for truly bad episodes.

Personally, I can recommend all episodes from that list.

Thought they tried a bit too hard to rationalise/intellectualise (is that a word?) the list, and to make it representative of the whole canon.
