This is the first time I've ever been mad at Pete.
You'll get over it.
Yeah, I already am.

Good luck, Pete! I hope your favorite episode wins it all!

I gotta say, as a pretty lukewarm Simpsons fan, this thing seems really daunting and overwhelming.

As a die-hard Simpsons fan, do you feel any of that as well? Or is this just all fun fun fun and excitement for you guys?

I was concerned before the first match-ups were posted, but now it just seems fun and exciting.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I'm guessing at Chud's favorite episode. That's not my favorite episode, though I like it a lot.

I don't know that I could even put together a top 20, but Homer Bad Man is a perfectly legitimate choice for best episode.


Thus far Monorail and Cape feare would be my two short list choices from this round. Das Bus is very good and the Hypercompuglobalmeganet bit is outstanding, but that's not quite top tier.

Homer at the Bat, Kamp Krusty, or Bart Gets an Elephant, probably.
