Marge, I'd like to be alone with the sandwich for a moment.

Are you going to eat it?

...Yes.

One of my favourite moments on tonight.

Carl: Lenny – sending some outgoing mail?
Lenny: You know it!
Carl: Yeah, I think I’ll send some tomorrow.
Lenny: I hear that!
 
I just watched the Lady Gaga episode and to my surprise it actually had a couple of laugh out loud moments.

The the two most recent seasons have had alot of good moments, sandwiched in to mostly awful episodes. If they sacked off the needless cameos and guest appearances over and over, they could probably make something pretty good. So many episodes seem so forced around the guest star, but there's still some good writing in there.
 
I just cant bear to watch the new episodes. As soon as I see that glossy yellow HD colouring I know it's time to change channels.

That's not a bad episode but Sky One seem to show it a hell of a lot meaning when I do fancy a Simpson's fix it's often that episode that's on. By this point if it's on my usual response is "oh f*** off gaga, you and your s****y f****n train!"

Ned Flanders: Homer, I've got a Fozzie of a bear of a problem! See, Maude and her mother were visiting Tyre and Sidon, the twin cities of the Holy Land. Well, they must have kneeled in the wrong place and prayed to the wrong god because they're being held prisoner by militants of some sort!

Homer: Militants, eh? Well if I were you, I'd kick their asses.

Ned Flanders: Well anywhodilly-doodle, the police say it's just a routine hostage-taking, but I gotta drive to Capitol City and fill out some forms to get them out. Could you possibly watch the kids tonight?

Homer: Oh, gee, I'd really love to wanna help you, Flanders but...Marge was...taken prisoner in the....Holy Land, and...

Lisa: I'll do it! I'll babysit!

Ned Flanders: I dunno, Lisa. You're awfully young and the boys can be quite a handful. Todd's been pinching everyone lately!

Lisa: But I'm smart and responsible and my parents will be right next door!

Ned: Well, whaddya say, Homer? Can Lisa babysit my kids?

Lisa: Please, please, please?

Homer: Eh, I'll have to ask her. (slams the door.)

Bodyguard academy, Homer is about to show off his diving technique.

Homer (mid-air): noo...

Leavelle: Well, your dive wasn't bad but i just didn't believe your "noooo". I mean, you gotta sell it. Remember, your "nooo" is what gets you your next job. Now drop and give me twenty.

Homer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Leavelle: Better!

Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, uh, we've just lost the picture, but what we've seen speaks for itself. The Corvair spacecraft has apparently been taken over, 'conquered' if you will, by a master race of giant space ants. It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earthmen or merely enslave them. But, one thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the ants will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves.

McGarnagle: Now tell them what you saw Billy.

Billy: But I'm so scared McGarnagle.

McGarnagle: You've gotta do this one for me Billy, McGarnagle.

Billy: Okay for you, McGarnagle.

Chief: [later] Well McGarnagle, Billy is dead! They slit his throat from ear to ear.

McGarnagle: Hey I'm trying to eat lunch here!

Homer: Okay, once more. Where are we going?

Mrs. Krabappel: To Capitol City.
Homer: And why are you and the old lady in the car?
Agnes: We're going to talk Armin Tamzarian into coming back.
Homer: And why is Marge here?
Marge: I came up with the idea.
Homer: And why am I here?
Marge: Because the streets of Capitol City are no place for three unescorted ladies.
Homer: And why are the kids here?
Marge: Because we couldn't find Grandpa to sit for them.
Homer: Then why is Grandpa here?
Abe Simpson: Because Jasper didn't want to come by himself!

Well, Mr Burns had done it
The power plant had won it
With Roger Clemens clucking all the while
Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile
While Wade Boggs laid unconscious on the bar-room tile
We're talkin' softball
From Maine to San Diego
Talkin' softball
Mattingly and Canseco
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law
We're talking Homer...
Ozzie and the Straw

Arnie Pye: This city has exploded in a fireball of rage.

Kent Brockman: I think what the viewers want to know, Arnie is, is my house okay?

Arnie Pye: You mean is your giant castle okay, Kent?

Kent Brockman: Don't hate me because I bought at the right time, Arnie.

Arnie Pye: When's my right time, Kent? When's my right time?

Kent Brockman: Good evening. Springfield is still grappling tonight with the departure of Reverend Timothy Lovejoy, local Bible nut. How is our community coping with this spiritual vaccuum? Let's ask Arnie Pie in the Sky!

Arnie Pye: You wanna know what I see, Kent? I see a slow news day with nothing to fill it!

Kent Brockman: Arnie, you're supposed to be filming people coping with the loss of their church!

Arnie Pye: And how am I supposed to do that? Do I have a magic lens that can see into peoples' SOULS? Well, yours would be BLACK, Kent! BLACK AS THE ACE OF SPADES!!!

Season 5 is the best. Honestly, everyone should go and watch season 5 right now. Every episode is gold. But yeah, you can't go wrong with season's 1-11.
 
I thought 11 was pretty bad myself. 2-9 would be my recommendation, but I'm sure others would disagree.
 
I personally think seasons 4 and 7 (actually no, 6...actually no, 7...actually..) are the best, but it's an unmatched, flawless run of perfection from pretty much the start of season 3 to the end of season 9, which is about 150 episodes.

Season 10 is when it starts to go wrong, and you have episodes you actually wouldn't watch all the way through when they came on TV if you've already seen them more than 5 times (that's probably not even true!) though it still has more hits than misses. 11 is where it starts to fall apart, and 12 is where I stop watching.

Also this guy is a proper legend...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Swartzwelder

The most prolific golden era writer by a large margin with 59 in all, 47 of which are 1-11, he's also allegedly who Ron Swanson is based on, Parks & Rec being created by his former Simpsons co-writer Greg Daniels.

Basically Ron Swanson exists and he wrote You Only Move Twice.

Season 5, Mockney. Seasons 4, 6 and 7 are great but season 5 is utterly flawless. The best season of television, ever. Even though Homer at the Bat in season 3 is the single best episode.
 
Must not do a season binge with box set DVDs of seasons 5-7.
