1. "Behind the Laughter", this was such a great effective and original method of paroding "Behind the Music", making the Simpsons stars in their own little world...Homer's reaction to his mansion beinng re-possed was heartbreakingly funny.
2. Who Shot Mr. Burns Parts 1 and 2: THIS was "The Simpsons" at their near finest hour, the build up to the resolution following the cliffhanger was great with the spoof "Who Shot J.R?" Phony endings, the final revelation is still one of the most hilarious moments of the show
3. Lisa's Substitue: One great example about the Simpsons, even now when it's utter crap, is that Lisa has always remained THE greatest character on the show period, she's given some of the most emotional episodes and all the credit goes to Yeardly Smith for making this the finest Lisa episode ever with her peformances, it really brought home a lot of issues regarding family tolerance and parodied "The Graduate" in the only way possible....with Edna Krupbabel
4. The Private War of Lisa Simpson: Another Lisa episode, one of the last Simpsons episodes to balance emotion AND comedy on a QUALITY basis.
5. Blood Feud: Proof that you can do an episode with no real plot, one of the greatest moments ever came with this one
Homer: Hello, my name is Mr. Burns, I beleive you have a letter for me
Official: Ok Mr. Bruns, what's your first name?
Homer: ....I don't know.
