Miguel sent this collection of "top 10 episodes" lists (pasted verbatim in the extended entry, e-mail addresses snipped) to me several weeks ago but better later than never. What I find most interesting is the lack of overlap in the lists.
My ad hoc list (wow, that abortive attempt I made to rank every single one of them dates back to April 2005 -- geez).
1. Selma's Choice
2. The Last Temptation of Homer
3. Sideshow Bob Roberts
4. The New Kid on the Block
5. Homer and Apu
6. Lisa on Ice
7. $pringfield
8. Bart the Lover
9. Like Father, Like Clown
10. Bart of Darkness
Honorable Mention: I Love Lisa; Bart After Dark
Here are three lists (including the definitive list, mine, at the bottom).
Any list you care to share?
Miguel

And I'd be remiss if I didn't point you to DeadOn's countdown of its top 20. So far, I am not amused.
