Well it took us a few extra days, but we can finally announce the best Simpsons episode of Season 3 is...Homer at the Bat! Winning 6-5 over Stark Raving Dad, it'll join Krusty Gets Busted and Itchy & Scratchy & Marge in the final vote later this year.
Now we have the toughest one yet. Season 4 gave us some of the greatest episodes of all time and gave us some of the greatest moments of all time. Alas, though it gave us 22 fantastic episodes, only 1 can move on (unless we do a voteoff which ends in a tie of course), so choo-choo-choose wisely. Enough chit-chat, lets get to the episodes:
