OT: Top 3 and Bottom 3 seasons of the SIMPSONS

OK, Let's try this again...

In you opinion what were the TOP 3 best Season's of the Simpsons, and what are the bottom 3 worst?

Marge has an outstanding top; it must reach eight feet tall. Mr. Burn's top has three dots on it. And the top of Mount Splashmore is *really* high!

As for bottoms, Patty and Selma have two of the worst. "Wide loads" as they say. But the very worst bottom has to be the bottom of Snowball II's kitty litter pan. YUUCH!

Sorry, we're punch-drunk from the trolls...

Serious answer (and these are highly subjective, of course):

Best 3 --- Season 4, for shows like "Homer the Heretic" (Homer's religious beliefs), "I Love Lisa" (the cruelty of young love), "Duffless" (addiction, and how it's not all that simple).

Season 7 included the classic "22 Short Films About Springfield" (just pure fun), "The Day the Violence Died" (I like it for the ending if nothing else), and "Lisa the Vegetarian" (Lisa gets more annoying).

Season 8, for shows like "You Only Move Twice" (excellent spoof), "Hurricane Neddy" (adding a much-needed dimension to the Flanders character), and "A Milhouse Divided" (very funny, very dark look at divorce).

I cannot fail to mention, however, that this season had a couple of stinko stories: "Homer's Enemy" and "Homer vs. the 18th Amendment." These shows had their laughs, but thematically, they were crass and shallow.

Worst 3:

Season 10 - "Homer to the Max" and "Maximum Homerdrive" - (brainless stories with Homer acting up). "Homer Simpson in : 'Kidney Trouble'" - (not only is Homer stupid, he's cruel and thoughtless.)

Season 13: Most of the stories were like "hey, I have this idea - Homer takes care of Moe's bar! Then he's the police! Then he can't talk! Then Bart..." Not much to like this season.

Season 9: Need I say more than: "The Principal & the Pauper." (I can't reveal the plot - on pain of TORTURE!) Ok, then, how about "All Singing, All Dancing?" YECH. I did however enjoy "The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson."

Thanks FLOWERS. I like Season 7 a lot as well. One of my all time favorite episodes is BART SELLS HIS SOUL.

Hey, this is a family oriented ng. If you talk about "top" and "bottom" too much, Rob Wade will come back.

No... that's if you just talk about "bottoms."

Rob Wade strikes me as more of a bottom. He's probably on the lookout for a good top. (Or two or three. That should keep him plenty satisfied and out of this newsgroup.)

Top three seasons for me:

Season 4. Pretty much every episode there was a classic. (The sad exception was the clip show, but even that was fun.) Homer the Heretic had me laughing for days. I can still watch Last Exit to Springfield and get a laugh or two.

Season 3. This is when they really hit their stride. I loved "Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington." and "Separate Vocations". Back then, Lisa had heart but was not quite so annoying.

Season 1. This one started it all. Something new and different was on TV and I lapped it right up. I can't remember enjoying a new show as much as I enjoyed the Simpsons.

Bottom 3 seasons.

Season 6. Yes, it contained many classic episodes and can technically be placed in the top 5 somewhere. Unfortunately, when I watched "Lemon of Troy", I reached an unpleasant realization that the show was not going to maintain the high level of quality I was accustomed to.

Season 9. My fears about the show's quality level was most definitely confirmed.

Season 13. That's when I actually stopped watching the show on a regular basis. I have since returned to my regular viewing habits, but not so enthusiastically.

Hey, I like Police Cops and Admiral Baby form Homer To The Max!

And the beginning of All Singing and All Dancing is great, with the Paint Your Wagon sing-a-long.

I really liked the one with "towlie". That is one stoned piece of cloth. Chef is pretty funny too.

What I want to know is, who will be the first to say that the bottom three are 15, 16, and 17?

Personally, I put 3, 4, and 5 as the top three.
