Interesting point you raise. What WAS the best Simpsons ever? I¹ve not seen the movie, but I¹ve heard (today) that the movie suffers from Spider-Man-3-itis, in that it¹s trying to cram too much in. I have to admit I sort of gave up on The Simpsons when Family Guy came back on. I just don¹t have

Possibly my favorite single line from the show is from one of the Treehouse eps every Hallowe'en. This bit was from Homer^3, when Homer gets sucked into the 3D universe. Bart, who witnessed the fun first-hand, says, Well, we hit a bit of a snag when the universe sort of collapsed on itself. But
