I'm a big fan of the classic episodes. Don't particularly have a favourite, because a lot of them are just perfect television to me.

I love Cape Feare, and Last Exit to Springfield.
I love the Itchy and Scrathy focused episodes, and the Radioactive Man movie one.
I love the one where the PTA disbands, and the one with the monorail.
Also love the XFiles episode.

I love every episode from seasons 1-9 really

They've FINALLY started airing old ones in the NY area again. It's been like two years, they've just been airing the later seasons in the daily spots. Up to 95/97 now.

IAnyway, I'd say any season from the beginning until 2000 had great, great episodes. I really don't have ONE favorite episode. Some of my favorites that come to mind:

Homer at the Bat
Itchy and Scratchy Land
Almost any Sideshow Bob episode before 2000 (Though the one with his brother I liked, and that may have been post-2000)
Mr. Plow
The Flaming Homer episode
The Gay episode where Homer thinks Bart is gay
The one with Bart down the well
The Pin Pals episode

That's just a few of my favorites, there are so many good ones.

Also, here's a list of a few of my favorite Treehouse of Horror mini-episodes:

The one where the advertisements come alive
The Shinning
The one that was a parody of Soylent Green

Yeah, The Simpsons have had a shitload of great episodes.

Homer at the Bat
Homer Alone
Mr. Plow
Homer Goes To College
You Only Move Twice (Hank Scorpio)
Homie The Clown
Team Homer (Pin Pals)
Homer The Smithers
Homerpalooza
Summer of 4 Ft 2

With 400 episodes, it's really hard to pick.

Why does everyone dislike the newer ones? I think they're a lot better because they are so unrealistic. Homer's no longer a little dumb, he's become a complete moron which is hilarious. Some might argue that it's become a bit too much like Family Guy, but funny is funny.

I liked the fact that Simpsons had some sense of reality to it, yknow a story, and yeah Homer was dumb but he was also a family man, now he's just an unlikeable, mostly unfunny fool.

They tried to incorporate family guy style random humour into it to the extent that they ruined it imo, Futurama > Simpsons of the same period and to this day.

I love Family Guy personally, but after Family Guy basically took over the Simpson's popularity and Simpsons started using their humor (for instance, this past week's bit where they had the snake measured out off a roll) it just threw them off. It still has it's moments, but the stories are suffering because they're forcing the humor.

You can say the same about Family Guy, but they didn't have 10+ seasons before they started doing it, they were doing it from the get-go.

I see Simpsons and Family Guy as two completely different genres of animated sitcoms. Simpsons being story driven and Family Guy being joke and gag driven. They're now one in the same as far as I'm concerned and I'd rather watch the original (Family Guy) than the rip-off if I had to choose.

Of course, I still watch both.

I think this is how the shows differ, aside from comedy. What Family Guy lacks is the wealth of story and characters. The supporting cast is deep on The Simpsons. They usually have stories, and use many types of humor and subtle satire. Whereas Family Guy goes to the random in your face gag, like Mr. T or David Hasslehoff jokes, I mean come on. Plus the Simpson family itself has been treated in a way that gives them heart over the years. They're much more than just cartoon characters or jokes. There's actually something there with Bart and Lisa's siblinghood, and Homer and Marge's marriage, as well as the parent/kids individual relationships, and Homer and his mother and father, and other relationships and friendships throughout the show.

What Xero said sums up my feelings pretty much. It doesn't hurt to spend 20 mins watching the Simpsons for the couple of good gags they have each time but really, its not the same show as it was. The fact that every episode named here pretty much is from before Family Guy came along is telling imo.

Yeah but they've just basically decided to ignore the depth they brought to the characters over the years in favour of nonsensical 'humour', random pointless gags and that 5 minute storyline which goes nowhere at the beginning of every episode.

I think it comes down to the Simpsons creators and characters having the balls to occasionally take themselves seriously over the years, especially early on. This is what made them a classic and immortal TV family.

Take for instance the episode where Homer meets his mother, and she goes back on the lam. The episode actually ends with Homer sitting on his car looking into the stars and stuff. Very touchy for a animated comedy, they actually had the show end on a serious moment with sad music that gave Homer actual depth.
You know Family Guy and Seth McFarlane would get weirded out and afraid of this, and Chuck Norris would swoop in on a jetpack and they'd fly off on an adventure in some absurdly random go to comedy joke.
Sure it's funny because it's so random and outrageous, but that's really all it is. It'll get old, if it hasn't already.

When you boil it down to its basics... Homer Simpson is, in his truest essence, a likable character, and Peter Griffin is not.
