What is the best Simpsons episode of all time?
Golden-age half-hours, cult deep cuts and one or two episodes people still insist were the last great one.
1Marge vs. the MonorailConan O'Brien's season 4 classic in which a smooth-talking salesman cons Springfield into buying a doomed monorail.
2Homer's EnemyHard-luck everyman Frank Grimes joins the plant and is destroyed by the injustice of Homer's charmed life.
3Cape FeareSideshow Bob stalks Bart to Terror Lake in an extended parody of Cape Fear, rakes and all.
4You Only Move TwiceHomer takes a dream job with Hank Scorpio, a supervillain who happens to be the perfect boss.
5Treehouse of Horror VThe Halloween anthology peak, led by The Shinning and its no-TV-and-no-beer madness.
6Homer at the BatMr. Burns stacks the plant softball team with nine real major-league ringers.
7Lisa's SubstituteA substitute teacher shows Lisa a wider world, and leaving hurts more than she expects.
8RosebudMr. Burns will trade anything, including the town's dignity, to get his childhood teddy bear Bobo back.
9A Fish Called SelmaWashed-up Troy McClure marries Selma to revive his career, culminating in the Planet of the Apes musical.
10Homer's Barbershop QuartetThe Be Sharps rise and fall as a note-perfect parody of Beatlemania, with George Harrison cameo.

Almost every nominee falls between seasons three and nine, and Conan O'Brien wrote the monorail one before he had a talk show of his own: https://youpick.best/articles/the-simpsons-ranked-many-ways
