What are your favorite episodes/seasons and why?
I'm genuinely curious now.
A fun thread needs to be bumped.
I'd have to go with "And Maggie Makes Three" from season 6. It's the one where they flashback to when Homer had a job at the bowling alley (Homer, did you polish your head in the Shine-O Ball-O?), but then Marge gets pregnant again. So *** many quotable lines from there, but the part that made it one of the best episodes was the closing shot. It was so unexpectedly heartfelt and moving that it has always made this episode stand out.
DAWWWWWWWWW ; ;
Seriously, funny as *** too:
Selma: Oh, sure we won't tell
Homer....
[they go to the phone book and open it to page one]
Patty: [dials] Hello, is this A. Aaronson? It might interest to you to know that Marge Simpson is pregnant again.
[later]
Patty: [on the phone] Just thought you'd like to know, Mr. Zykowski. [hangs up, sighs] There. Aaronson and Zykowski are the two biggest gossips in town. In an hour, everyone will know.
Homer wriggling like a sperm
"We now return to Knightboat, the crime-solving boat!"
The sequence where Homer goes through all those marketing books.
Moe: Hey, Homer! Way to get Marge pregnant.
Homer: This is getting very abstract but thank you, I do enjoy working at the bowling alley.
Maude: By the way, congratulations on your new job.
Homer: MARGE IS PREGNANT?! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
