Great to hear that you are currently revisiting this already and will be writing more about it--I look forward to reading about how your opinions have shifted/evolved/endured etc. over time. I hope I will be able to follow along but it will interesting to read regardless. It sounds like a fun, long term ‘rewatch and write’ type of project. And yes, one episode from each of the first ten seasons sound great. Do you think I might be a bit lost if I were to watch The Simpsons Movie before watching each of the 10 episodes? I recognize it is probably far from ideal, and very much out of order, but that kind of has its own appeal to me. Anyway, very much looking forward to experiencing/watching the list of favorites to come. Thanks!
This was incredibly interesting for me to read. I have never watched an actual Simpson’s episode from beginning to end; it was often on television in the background here or there growing up, so I do have some familiarity with the show (the characters, dynamics, relationships, voices, etc.), but if you had to make a meticulously curated list of say, your top 5 (or top 10, even, if you cannot narrow it down to 5 because there are too many gems for you to choose from ), well, what might them be? I will likely never have time in this one lifetime to watch 20+ seasons of this iconic show, but I would like to watch 5 or 10 episodes to maybe, perhaps, have a teeny tiny iota of a clue of understanding, or the briefest of introductions of sorts. I should probably do a YouTube search and find a few lists, but given that you dedicated so much loving attention on this show and these characters, I would like to know and watch your list. ✅ And if you somehow do have one favorite episode, one that means some thing extra significant for you, well, I would settle to know what that one episode is, and this is only if you have the time and interest in sharing here. Thanks for indulging me a bit on this, and I look forward to reading more of your newsletters soon. 🤓
As a matter of fact I'm going to be doing a big Simpsons write-up pretty soon. I've been watching every episode in chronological order for a few years and I'm approaching the end of Season Eighteen, which means I'll have to watch The Simpsons Movie again since it came out in between Seasons Eighteen and Nineteen. I'll use that as an excuse to go more into my Theory of Simpsons.
Ten favorite episodes is definitely more realistic than five; what about one from each of the first ten seasons?
