I would very much like to read all of those.

People don't talk enough about Muppet Christmas Carol's brilliant use of Gonzo and Rizzo as the meta-narrator/Greek chorus duo. The way they're able to be omniscient and largely invisible to the rest of the cast, yet still susceptible to the dangers of their environment is unlike anything else I can recall seeing.

Does #191 "2012 Holiday Spectacular", which aired just before last year's Best-of, get included in this poll? I feel like the Christmas episodes are criminally overlooked each year. Ice T's tribute to Santer Clantz might just be my favourite moment in CBB history.

Well said. "Bart on the Road" is one of the more outlandish stories at that point in the series, but the setup is efficient and funny. It's really a marvel how all the pieces (Skinner's Hong Kong vacation that begets Take Your Child to Work Day has a late-episode callback, Martin's day at the stock market funds the…

Yes, and I think it also laid the groundwork for "Bart on the Road" next season which is another favourite of mine. I'm kind of surprised they didn't lean on the Bart/Milhouse/Nelson/Martin team-up more, although I suppose that speaks to just how many fresh ideas they had during the golden age of this show.

I'm not sure if I want Don Del Grande to know that nearly 20 years later he's become a cult figure in an online circle, or if it's better for him to remain oblivious.

And featured a really good guest performance by Andrea Martin in season two!

Tony Rosato on the (now discontinued) penny.

I like to make a playlist that alternates between music and podcasts. Keeps both sides of the brain lubed.

The Bugle has had some truly exceptional political satire over the years, yet the thing that never fails to crack me up when it pops into my head is Oliver's increasingly exasperated responses to the realization that the saga of The Congressman's Penis has at least one more part to go.

Question for all you Best Show fans: Is there a way to get old episodes in downloadable mp3 form? I've heard legends of the glorious, multi-year run of Petey, and I'd love to hear his whole story unfold — preferably while driving to work or going for a run.

There is so much potential alone in the relationship between Steven and his dad that I can't wait to see where the show goes (it also helps that Tom Scharpling's voice is perfect for the character).

That's maybe the most interesting episode of the series too, if only because it's the lone episode that pushes the therapy scenes way to the side in favour of focusing on the narrative. At one point Ben is even kind of sort of actually animated!

Anybody else have a visceral reaction to this?

Speaking as the guy who bought 30 Rock's soundtrack and spent a good couple of months playing it in the background of various conversations in an attempt to make them sound funnier (I think it was a cry for help, deep down), I am incredibly excited for this.

My guess is they're just nonsense words that can be roughly sung along to the melody.

I'll go to bat for Michael Ian Black's work on Ed any day. Over the course of four seasons there's probably only a combined total of about 30 seconds in which his character shows anything resembling human depth, but goddammit Black sells those moments beautifully.

There's been a conscious effort this year to reduce the number of podcast characters transplanted into the second guest slot (and I think that's worked out nicely), but Marissa Wompler is still a must.

Even though the writers wouldn't pursue it with earnest until season 8's "Lisa's Date with Destiny", I do believe this is the first reference to Milhouse's unrequited love for Lisa. And in a sense pretty much get the, uh, "climax" of their relationship in its very first appearance.

If you're looking for another reason to watch Charlie's fantasy again, give the two shots of Waitress reading to Charlie and her children a pause. She appears to be reading a storybook version of The Nightman Cometh, complete with illustrations. It puts Fantasy Charlie's reaction to the story in an even more weirdly…
