Marge, you're breaking my heart.

Though honestly, people often ignore the first season (or two) because of how drastically the show changed later, but they are loving wild and well worth watching.

Sorry, Bart. You can push them out of a plane, you can march them off a cliff, you can send them off to die on some God-forsaken rock, but for some reason you can't slap them.

The most emotional I get at The Simpsons is in that early episode where Marge is about to leave Homer for the bowling instructor, and Homer just can't bring himself to tell her not to go because he knows he screwed up, it just feels so heartbreakingly plausible that they could split like that. I really quit watching by Season 16, so I don't know if there have been anymore 'Marge leaves for another man' eps like they've done plenty of 'some impossibly hot woman wants to gently caress Homer' eps in those intervening years.

But as far as episodes with tons of quality jokes, I'd put Rosebud and

A Star is Burns is great if only for how much of a crybaby Groening was about it. I think my favorite will always be You Only Move Twice, but sweet Jesus that one gets absolutely shredded in syndication.

The relatively quiet dramas of the early Simpsons are what make it so powerfully good - once it abandoned that earnest love for its own characters, it was over.

It reached its apex of quality when the quiet drama combined seamlessly with the clever humor. That only lasted a few seasons. I'd say seasons 3 4 and 5 were its peak in this regard.

Even in its heyday, I don't think I've been able to remember an episode title for the Simpsons. It's always That One With X, where X is the gimmick.

Like, I had to look it up to know that In Marge We Trust was that episode with Mr Sparkle.

You and me, bud. The episodes were never within the show itself so unless you're really used to the DVD menus (or you've been discussing the episodes on the Internet for a long time) the titles are mostly going to be over your head. The Mindy episode is "the Mindy episode".
