I have a friend who's never seen a single episode ( ) and I want to get her hooked. I think, with her sense of humor, this show is right up her alley. What do you recommend as a first episode to a complete newcomer? |

I don't think I've seen an episode since sometime around 1996 or 7. I imagine that the above information is very helpful to you right now. |

There have been a few funny episodes from this latest season. The one where Burns replaces the plant workers with robots is pretty funny. |

I don't think it's even on in syndication in my area anymore. Back in the late 90's if you flipped around you could watch 6 hours a day of that show if you wanted. That and Seinfeld. |

Over the 8 months or so, I've been re-watching the entire series with audio commentaries on. 75% of the time, there's some really interesting stuff in there. About a third of the way through Season 10 now. |

Seinfeld in syndication was horrible, the bits I would see at hotels (as I haven't had cable since 2001) were playing faster and I felt the timing was truly off. For nostalgia sake I would recommend tossing on the first episode just for the intro of characters, even if the animation was still almost that of the Ullman Show shorts. |

It stayed decent into the early aughts but then fell off the map completely. Season 12 had A Tale Of Two Springfields which I consider the last really great Simpsons episode. |

My best friend had really strict TV rules growing up and apparently didn't see a single episode until he got to college. Having grown up with them, I find that bizarre. |
