We had very low expectations going into this season, so we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of genuinely good episodes there were! Let's be serious, there were some ABSOLUTE STINKERS, but overall Season 18 proved to be another solid outing, especially considering the staff were also making the movie. What were our Top 10 episodes of the seas…

This week we revisit one of the most iconic Simpsons episodes of all time, so to ensure we get to the bottom of the mystery, we've called upon the help of the lads from "I Could Murder A Podcast"!

Prepare to cry. Honestly, as a father, this episode now hits Dando harder than ever. When we get the reveal of Fry's drawing on the nursery wall, he was a mess. Without a doubt one of the most beautifully told stories of any television series, period. As our way of saying thanks for your support, we're giving you a freebie with this BONUS episode o…

It's the Simpsons episode they want you to forget about! That's right, we've gone back and revisited the one where Springfield is visited by the big white guy, who thinks he's the little black guy.

Without a doubt one of the best Simpsons episodes in years! Here we get a full-length "24" parody, complete with guest appearances from Jack Bauer and Chloe. The story focuses on the Springfield Elementary "Counter Truancy Unit" attempting to prevent the bullies from setting off a fart bomb at the school's annual bake sale. Support the Four Finger …

Santa's Little Helper becomes a police dog and after a rough couple of days on the job, he bites Bart out of anger, leaving him to go live with Lou. Another episode with a solid premise but lacklustre execution for the most part, although it was nice to see Lou get the chance to be an MVP. Support the Four Finger Discount Network for EARLY & AD-FRE…

Homer, Moe, Apu and Skinner become volunteer firefighters, however when they realise they aren't being paid, they begin stealing from those they're supposed to be helping. A pretty solid story with a rather weak execution, but at least it gave us the classic "no kids and three money" quote. Support the Four Finger Discount Network for EARLY & AD-FR…

After costing the Springfield Isotots the championship game, Bart becomes the most hated boy in town. Meanwhile, Homer becomes a mattress salesman at Costington's and helps the Lovejoys with their intimacy issues.

You'll never stop The Simpsons! Have no fears, they've got stories for years...just like a crazy wedding and boy did something happen. What, you ask? Grampa married Selma! Let's be honest, this is a pretty farfetched story that feels almost impossible to buy into, however there's still plenty of gags and a B-plot with Bart and Lisa vs the postal se…

Who could have imagined that an episode involving Cletus' family would turn out so great?!

Meanwhile, Lisa pretends her family has Native American heritage.Honestly, the Bart story was pretty fun, especially the reversal of him now having to give others a li…

It's another trilogy episode, with this one focusing on the theme of "revenge". Normally these are pretty pointless, and this one is to an extent, however the last two segments are almost Treehouse of Horror worthy. A pretty fun episode overall! NOTE: With Guy being away in Bali, Elliot Jay O'Neill from The Simpsons Index podcast fills in. Support …

Can you believe it? Homer makes an effort! Trust us, we were just as surprised as you were. Honestly though this was quite an enjoyable story that saw Homer take the family to Barnacle Bay, in order for Marge to relive a happy childhood memory. It then transitions into a parody of The Perfect Storm, with an environmental message at the end. A bit o…

Is this a Christmas episode? Not really. It's more of a "how can we take away the one thing we like about the Gil character?" type of episode. After Gil is fired from Costingtons on Christmas Eve, The Simpsons agree to let him spend the holiday with them. However, he never leaves. Even when asked, he guilt trips his way into staying longer.

Homer becomes the Springfield Ice-Cream Man, which leads Marge to discover a talent for building sculptures, aka "folk art!", out of the popsicle sticks.

"Annoyed" is a rather fitting title for this episode, since that's how you're left feeling after watching it.

It's the one where Marge realises she's good at carpentry (that's good), however she also realises that she's a woman (that's bad). Luckily her "handyman" husband Homer comes to the rescue. Meanwhile, Bart is an absolute monster and thinks it'd be a fun idea to try and kill Principal Skinner by exploiting his nut allergy. Full Episode Review Begins…

It's the one with The White Stripes! Honestly, that's probably the most memorable thing from this whole episode. Most of the story felt like rinse-and-repeat, with another "Lisa gets jealous of Bart's success" plot, combined with a bunch of Homer gags that simply do not land. On a more positive note, we're back in the studio together! That's right,…

We woke up this morning and got ourselves a pod. Well, actually we recorded one and it was the premiere of Season 18! Here we learn that Fat Tony's son Michael wants to become a chef, which goes against his father's plans of taking over the family "waste management" business. A really solid outing that features a pretty spot-on Godfather parody. SA…
