Another one that was likely mentioned already...
Homer The Great
God that stonecutter song is burned into my brain, and it does make sense now why Steve Guttenberg was a star...

Same here. I've been watching that stream of Simpsons all day.

I watch Simpsons twice a week. Anymore and I'd burn out. But with the summer upon us...it's time to hit the backlogs.

I know the show went from brilliant to great around season 10 then from great to terrible around season 13. But are there any episodes past 13 that you really enjoyed? I can think up a couple.
Trilogy of Error
Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind
Weekend at Burnsies
The DeBarted
Girls Just Want to Have Sums
Sex Pies and Idiot Scrapes
O Brother, Where Bart Thou

I've seen a couple. The thing about the newer episodes post-season 13 is that they're pretty hit or miss.

One of the more annoying things I find with the newer episodes is the jokes tend to beat you over the head. In its golden era the humour had a certain subtley to it that trusted the audience would get the joke (like Leonard Nimoy beaming away after claiming his work was done).
The Simpsons' golden era was clever, witty and even thought provoking. It's not often to see something as good on The Simpsons today, but in the past 10-12 years they've still delivered a few hits. But also many, many, many misses.

The never-ending jokes (SNL Syndrome--the same thing that did in Homestar Runner for me) are bad, but the thing that really gets me is recycled plots.
For example, a little while ago I saw one episode where Marge became a MMA champion. It wasn't nearly as good as the episode where Homer became a boxer. Another episode had a superhero movie getting filmed in Springfield, and Homer got lead role on a walk-on audition. It was nowhere near as good as the other episode where a superhero movie is made in Springfield and a local nabs a role, OR the episode where Homer gets a role by cluelessly walking on an audition.
But yeah, there are a few gems from the later half of the series' run. The Bart Wants What It Wants, The Seemingly Never-Ending Story, 24 Minutes, Gone Maggie Gone...

Before Microsoft and Sony do something regarding their future in the video game business, I wanted to write, and I've wanted it for a long time now, but other things kept getting in my way, and fearing that tomorrow might be too late, today will have to do.
