Are there any classic season Simpsons episodes you didn't

Bart is a horrible jerk to Lisa. I've always disliked this episode because of that. It starts out well, and has a good opening sequence and final scene, though.

I don't like Whacking Day myself.

"Bart Sells His Soul" It's just downright preachy and has very few memorable jokes.

Hrmm, I realize I haven't seen many classic episodes to really think of any.

>the plot also required you to suspend disbelief that Marge would be irresponsible enough to think letting an 8 year old babysit anything, let alone her older brother, was a good idea (more of a Homer level of blunder).

Americans. You forget the one important thing about them.

While it is preachy, Uncle Moe's, the street sweeper, that crazy rambling guy and Milhouse declaring war on Bart's soul are all decent jokes IMO.

Never felt much love for any of the tree houses of horror.

The ones with the shinning parody and frogurt are top tier though

A Streetcar Named Marge.

A lot of people hail it as one of the last great episodes but I can't stand Homer's Phobia

>>77973121
I never remember Homer's Phobia being considered a top 10 classic.

Season 1 was the beginning of the decline.

Pogs.

Man I forgot about this episode, how did it end with Lisa getting away with everything scot-free or was she sorta grounded in the end I forget?

A little of both actually.

i downright dread this episode. i know this sounds preachy but it just feels so unnecessarily cruel the way they put the simpsons through all this shit during christmas. anyone else feel the same?

Being a Scully episode, some people would argue that this isn't part of classic Simpsons anyway.

>>77974691
everyone found out and shit but people ended up still giving her work, the joke being it's just that hard to find a babysitter

>>77970667
If I were writing this episode, I would have done something more like Lisa, being 8, is ultimately not up to this job and uncontrollably reverts to the 8 year old she is and...then the rest of the episode is something akin to the Ullman shorts where B&L get into a fight and end up trashing the house and acting like general maroons.
