As a primer to a future blog post that has been ruminating for some time, I am issuing the following challenge:
List your top 25 episodes of The Simpsons, and indicate your top 10, and top 5. (Only indicate, don't actually rank each individually). To help in your task, here's a complete episode guide: http://www.snpp.com/episodeguide.html. Exclude all non-"regular" episodes from consideration (for example, the Treehouse of Horror episodes, other episodes with 3 individual shorts, Behind the Laughter, etc.).
Here's my list:
Top 5
Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment (#4F15)
22 Short Films About Springfield (#3F18)
Simpson Tide (#3G04 / SI-828)
Das Bus (#5F11 / SI-911)
You Only Move Twice (#3F23)
Top 10
Bart Sells His Soul (#3F02)

I don't have a list of 25 favorites. But I'll include in my top one the episode that featured storylines about so many different characters and had them all tie together by the end. I remember some really tall man driving a very small automobile and being made fun of by Nelson. The guy took him to task.
P.S. - Feel free to LINK to me, you lazy bastard! You've only had, what, like a YEAR to get that done. :-)
Done. And you're speaking of 22 Short Stories of Springfield, in which there isn't actually much connection between all the characters, though there are some clever scene-change overlaps.
i made a list of ten because 25 is too many

hamotzi lechem min ha'aretz.
Homer: Hee hee hee hee hee! He's talking funny-talk!
Lisa: No Dad, that's Hebrew! Krusty must be Jewish.
Homer: A Jewish entertainer? Get out of here!
Lisa: Dad, there are many prominent Jewish entertainers, including
Lauren Bacall, Dinah Shore, William Shatner, and Mel Brooks.
