Top 10 episodes? Tough to narrow down, but I'll go with... -Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish -Dead Putting Society -Itchy & Scratchy & Marge -Bart Gets Hit by a Car -One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish -Homer the Heretic -Lisa's First Word -Bart Sells His Soul -The Joy of Sect -King of the Hill
Top 5 seasons? - 2 is my favourite. After that...5, 6, 7 and 4.
Top 3 writers? John Swartzwelder is God. After that I think Jeff Martin and Jon Vitti maybe?
Examples of the funniest scenes? IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER! "I think he's talking to you", "Gym, what's a gym?" "So the cops knew that infernal affairs was setting them up?" "HAND ME MY PATCHING TROWEL, BOY!", "But Dad, you love Thomas Edison!", "Second comes right after first!", "Hey, pal, did you get a load of the nerd?", "Is it Batman?", "I shouldn't have stopped for that haircut", "TAKE ME! I'M OLD!". That's just off the top of my head, I'm forgetting all kinds of stuff.
Do you find Itchy and Scratchy funny? Not really. The sheer absurdity of it is pretty amusing, yes.
Favourite recurring bits/gags? Nothing is coming to mind.
Favourite individual Treehouse of Horror segments? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Hungry are the Damned, Easy Bake Coven, The Thing and I. Favourite non-Simpson? -Ralph and Mr. Burns. Chief Wiggum is good too.
Worst episode? -Worst one that I've seen more than once would maybe be Simpsons Tall Tales.
Your opinion on when the show jumped the shark? -Well, it slowly descends. It went from being the best thing on television, to being inconsistent to being um... Not worth watching. To me season 9 was the last great year. Even the finale to that one was dumb, and then from season 10 onwards the lesser stuff becomes more frequent.

Since this is a movie board, the finest acting ever on this show - Martin as George Washington........I could not choo choo choose a finer performance. stephen are you telling me Day-Lewis didn't base several of his performances including Lincoln on this? Come on !! Really kicks in at 2:00 with the unforgettable screen entrance "Never!" and later my personal fave ......."I asked for no broth!"
