Bart Gets An Elephant Bart: I wish had an elephant It gives her a nice dynamic with Bart and plays off his ‘badboy’ image which had grown tame over time.ġ8. This episode comes off better because Jessica Lovejoy is actually quite a fascinating character the reverend’s daughter who acts out because her parents are ignoring her desire to be her own, imperfect person. The ‘revelation’ that her father was a steward seems especially tame these days and the fact that it’s seen as the chink in her psyche that must be repressed is just bizarre.īart has exactly 2 girlfriends in the classic era (and seemingly 64 after season 8) but both of the episodes that introduce these characters are in my bottom 20 list. But a trip into Marge’s backstory to uncover her fear of flying (something never mentioned before or after this episode) is less than successful at getting at the heart of what makes Marge, Marge. No episode with the above scene could ever be considered ‘bad’. I know! This lesbian bar doesn’t have a fire exit. Fear of Flying Homer: Wait a minute…there’s something bothering me about this place. There’s no real consensus but that’s where I choose to draw the line. I’m not including clip shows for obvious reasons – they’re just the worst (despite my fondness for ‘The 138th Episode Spectacular’)Ģ0. Just like my ‘ best of classic era‘ list, I’m defining the classic era as seasons 3-8. I can handle stupid but funny, wacky but fun, but certain characters and situations are simply comedic deadweight. The primary common denominator amongst these 20 is that the stories they tell feel rote or boring. This wasn’t the easiest list to make, but limiting myself to the better, earlier seasons does mean that I have less to choose from and therefore less crap to wade through.
