33 Years Later, ‘The Simpsons’ Best Episode Has Never Been Topped

It's hard to argue with the logic that The Simpsons is one of the best television shows of all time and one of the longest-running too. The Simpsons dominated culture in the 1990s and changed the landscape of comedy, animation, and television forever. While the series has continued to produce new episodes for over three decades, the early installments between Seasons 4 and 10 are largely considered by The Simpsons fans to be the show’s "golden age." It was during this period that most iconic episodes aired, including the unforgettable classic "Marge vs. The Monorail." An uproarious parody of The Music Man, "Marge vs. The Monorail" was the perfect example of the ideal episode in terms of The Simpsons’ formula.
