Re: Simpsons Episode Tournament: Seasons 1-10
Round III begins today. I am done with moving and travel so this should continue at a normal pace going forward.
To help facilitate watching the episodes (for people interested) we are going to cut back to 4 matches rather than 8.

We're in the top 32, and every one of these matches is really tough except for Das Bus/Treehouse of Horror. Das Bus is a solid episode, but it's starting to get outclasses by what's left
