In its heyday, The Simpsons was one of the best and smartest shows on TV, with Harvard graduate writers like Conan O'Brien on scripting duties. Today it's fallen a long way from its former glory, but let's take a moment to appreciate that once great show with some genius moments from The Simpsons.
All those times we gloried in Homer's unrelenting fatness.
Those sly references to Smither's sexual orientation.
Whenever they poked fun at the shittiness of Springfield Elementary.
Milhouse being his generally pathetic self.
That time with Waldo.
When Mr Burns's went crazy and made the Spruce Moose.
That time Burns was in love.
When Max Power was in town.
The genius moments that occurred during the Halloween specials.
Troy McClure's random appearances.
Whenever Lionel Hutz offered his sterling legal advice.
When Bart's ambition was to take after his obese old man.
When Sideshow Bob talked himself out of prison.
The time the big game was on.
Good old Grimey's episode.
The snippets of Channel 6's finest television.
Those times we were reminded of Homer's astounding stupidity.
And why he's an utter embarrassment of a husband.
But, of course, he always compensated for his deficiencies whenever he hit us with some of that raw sex appeal of his.
