"This is real acid, I want to see googles people."
As the acid washed over him, "The googles, they do nothing!"

Man, that was way back in the first season, wasn't it?

I think it was actually the pilot/christmas special that appeared prior to the show being greenlit? It was after Tracey Ulman show and before it became a real series. Or maybe they already has a season order when that was aired.

Anyway: Lisa Needs Braces.

I'm going to pillage this thread. It's already motivated me to dig out my Simpsons DVDs. The site I linked above asserts that seasons 4-6 are arguably the zenith for the series although it's remained more than decent. But 4-6, it maintains, has nothing but classics. I watched a lot of that stuff when it happened back in the early to mid 90s but haven't revisited it on DVD (i.e. haven't watched the sets I bought). Dug 'em out!

In my notes I say to NOT buy the first season, that it's unorganized, has some good (very?) stuff but overall isn't worth bothering with. I never bought season two, either, but do have 3-6.

the actual pilot episode was Some Enchanted Evening. It was so poorly done that they demanded it be redone and therefore it wasn't ready for the premier and Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire was substituted.

I used Simpson quotes daily.
I couldn't pick only a couple.

There's a good instagram account that posts little clips daily of ONLY classic episodes. Makes me laugh every time

Moe: a car hole.

Homer becomes an astronaut.
Jay Sherman arrives for the Springfield Film Festival.
Mr. Burns wants to skin Santa's Little Helper's puppies.

Mr. Burns wants to skin Santa's Little Helper's puppies.

The Simpsons had the best Disney song parodies


and of course
"What the hell is this?"
"It's one of those campy 70's throwbacks that caters to generation x'ers"
"We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks."

Two Bad Neighbors. Season 7 episode 13. It's when George Bush moves in. I like the scene where Bush and Homer are in the storm sewer and Bush pulls a wire from his watch saying something like, " let me show you what I learned in the CIA." And the scene where Santa's Little Helper chases Bush as he's jogging an Homer says, " At least he'll be barking up the wrong Bush. " LOL

that is a fantastic episode.

another good one: sideshow bob hunts down bart (again) and the simpsons go into witness protection.

sideshow bob runs for mayor - "your guilty conscience may force you to vote democratic, but deep down inside you secret long for a cold-hearted republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king"
