Best Simpsons episode ever

does Barney smoke?

smoke... what?

Didn't Nelson's dad pop out for a pack of smokes and never return?

Nelson's dad was present in season 4 at the football game in the episode with the big brothers, and in the the later "Bart Star" football episode.

There's no continuity to the existence/prescence of Nelson's dad. He's walked out and never come back, he's been in jail, he's been the soccer coach, they never stuck with a story, but meh, they never do.

I saw a later season episode where Nelson's actual dad came back. It was rubbish.

Last Exit, followed by Bart Sells His Soul

season 3 has some killer episodes - didnt remember them being so jam-packed w/subtle callbacks that early in the shows run but they totally are - but the soapbox derby racer episode is a+ classic

nelson smoking is a+

Another vote for Bart of Darkness (Rear Window parody). One that I always liked but have probably settled on it as a favourite in the years of not watching the show. There are so many good lines and the feeling of a hot suburban summer is well pitched, from all the childish excitement of the pool truck, to watching black & white 'Classic Krusty' because there's nothing else to do but watch television.

I also love Bart's affinity with Victorian England which crops up in a few episodes. Thinking of his play gives me actual LOLs.

"Kippers for breakfast Aunt Helga? Is it St. Swithin's day already?"

"Tis!" replied Aunt Helga

I'm goin' I'm goin'!

The "Pulp Fiction" episode with Linguo was great.

And the one where he becomes a missionary.

"I'm not NOT licking toads!"

Didn't like the missionary one at all.
