At it's peak, this show was the greatest TV show ever, unfortunately it's peak was several years ago and the bad seasons now outnumber the good. There must be plenty of fans on here, I don't know the actual names of my favorite episodes so I'll just do a brief description:
The one with Michael jackson
Homer only has 24 hours to live
Mr Burns' bear Bobo
Beer baron
Mr plow
Hank scorpio
The show's subtle humour, social commentary and ability to be both hilarious and emotionally affecting has never been matched IMO, just a shame they are still churning them out when the new episodes are so unutterably gash. What are your favourite Simpsons moments?

I quite enjoyed the movie. I figured they used any good ideas they had for that - to the detriment of the regular tv show.....possibly.
Lately they don't seem to be able to effectively write a conclusion to episodes to they just do a bizarre cop out. A prime example being when Bart is in court and it ends up with someone shouting "surf's up" or something similar & everyone surfing over the closing credits.....
You only move twice is genius, as is the Frank "Grimey" Grimes episode.

The one where Homer eats everything and anything until he weighs 350lbs (IIRC) and can work from home 
Some of Homer's best work....

There is too many to mention for me..
The one where bart becomes a daredevil, or the one where he becomes the hall monitor, or where they have to get the lemon tree back.
Where homer becomes the beer baron, or where they find the body in the Quarry.
All top notch viewing. As said it takes a very special cartoon to amuse children and adults, this did that, and not to mention the huge amount of actor's voices used over the years!!
Love it.

absolutely!
How many subtle references in that one?For me, the best episode still is one of the very earliest ones.
The family attend Homer's work do at Mr Burn's house and end up in Dr Marvin Monroe's family therapy centre, where they procede to electrocute each other until the grid collapses. It is just plain genius.
That and the one where they go camping in the new 'RV' - Homer can't afford 'The Ultimate Behemoth'.
