It's a great list. Those are for sure among the best (allthough a few of them are overrated)

It is objectively more zombie Simpsons than classic Simpsons, but God, it's so hilarious. I probably I know a good chunk of it by heart.

No, THIS is my favourite episode. Honestly I think its the perfect Simpsons episode. Can't think of a single flaw.

IMDB ratings for old media are not really reliable in the way modern ones are.
>implying

That said, the Scorpio episode I definitely remember being a localised pre-internet "meme", this being among kids seeing it in reruns years after its original airing, so I can believe that it would have been highly rated by a 90s audience if their opinions were plugged into the internet in the modern way.
I never rated the Scorpio episode as highly as the more grounded classic episodes in the earlier seasons - it was an outlier in that it was based on a wacky one-off premise like any zombie episode, but still had enough of the original vibe and wit of the good era to carry it.

The thing about the decline of the Simspons is that lot of people found the wacky scenario episodes appealing when they were fresh, but they don't hold up as well, and are generally recognised as being a mark of the decline. Hence why a lot of people disagree about when things fell off, because they were still watching it fresh in season 9, 10, 11, and so on, and have nostalgia blinkers. It's actually fairly clear on a rewatch that season 9 is where things fall apart, and the show peaked in seasons 4-6.
>>
>>201729702
And Johnny Cash as the voice of the coyote.
>>
>>201730701
Yeah, a direct comparison between 8 and 9 is very jarring. And 9's best episode by far (New York) was produced in season 8.
>>
>>201725326
Where can I download the old Simpsons seasons?
>Inb4 torrenting
I only have a phone and a tv
>>
>>201725326
I feel like Who shot Mr. Burns isn't as good without the context of being a season cliffhanger. Needs Homer at the Bat as well.
>>
>>201731302
wco.tv has them for streaming. You can rip them from there.
>>
>>201725326
Homer's Enemy got memed a bit too much and I think that's rated too highly so people can prove they 'get it,' but I think the rest is solid, yeah. If you require a replacement, I think Kamp Krusty should be on there as the best 'normal' Simpsons episode.
>>
>>201727208
Is Homer's favorite food still porkchops? I don't know how to put it, but that feels like such a boomer 'favorite food.'

>>201729947
>>201728092
Yeah, there were more bad than good episodes around season 10-ish, but it didn't become complete zombie simpsons until Al Jean took over as showrunner around season 15.

Favorite episode of S1-7
>Bart the General
>Simpson and Delilah
>Separate Vocations (Favorite Episode Overall)
>Homer the Heretic
>Homer's Barbershop Quartet
>Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)
>The Curse of the Flying Hellfish

Season Six is so good it was tough choosing just one, so shoutouts to Bart of Darkness and Lemon of Troy. I just started S8, but You Only Move Twice is already one of the keepers.

>>201727527
as I expected, most of them are from season 10-11-12

>>201727527
One of my favorite zombie Simpsons episodes is Skinner's Sense of Snow. season 12, I think.
Among the post-season 12 episodes, the 24 spoof was pretty good.

So just for the hell of it I went through the episode list on Wikipedia and did my own top 10. A few things that surpassed me: 4 out of 10 episodes are from season 5 and my top 5 has 2 from season 5 and 2 from season 4, no season 6 episodes made my list, and none of my top 10 are in the IMDB top 10:

Selma's Choice S4.E13
Homer Goes to College S5.E3
A Streetcar Named Marge S4.E2
Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song S5.E19
Three Men and a Comic Book S2.E21
Homer at the Bat S3.E17
Bart Sells His Soul S7.E4
Bart Gets Famous S5.E12

I was target audience when it first aired, I loved all the references because I used to be a baseball fag in little league.
