Bad Simpsons Episodes (First 10 Seasons)

[StormanReigns]

Are there any?

I always thought the episode where Ned goes crazy was out of place, but I even found that funny

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

The Principal and the Pauper from season 9
The Cartridge Family isn't that great but that seems to be more mixed as opposed to outright bad.
All Singing, All Dancing

[Cranjis McBasketball]

The Principal and the Pauper.

Not even because of what they did with Skinner, but it's not even good outside of what they did with the character. The first true, pure stinker the Simpsons ever did.

Is the one where Lisa gets her saxophone in the first ten series? If so, that one.

Cartridge Family gets a pass for the funny soccer stuff before they go into the main plot.

I must be the only person in the world that actually likes The Principle and the Pauper.

Nope, I've always liked it, I kinda get the hate, but it's a good episode.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

I always thought A Streetcar Named Marge was a very dull episode.

[JDviant]

Most of seasons 9 & 10 are pretty bad. When they came out my buddy was considering buying it on dvd, and he counted about one good episode per disk before passing. There are very good episodes in nine, but for us it really is when the show started slipping.

[keezy]

I'm really bad at episode names but the clip show that was also a musical was pretty bad.

The Springfield Files wasn't a bad episode but it created the formula of lazy celebrity centric episodes.

[Bang Bang Bart]

I would say the musical clip show, but considering it is a clip show, it's probably unfair to call it a "bad" episode.

I agree. Bad premise, but funny episode overall.

I remember a few of the first season episodes not being great... but I can't think of them off the top of my head

I would not call "There's No Disgrace Like Home" BAD per se, but it seemed odd with how some of the characters acted. Yes, I am aware that this was very early in the show's run, and Homer was far from the idiot that we all came to know and love, but Marge going on a bender, as well as Lisa acting a certain way. They just seemed out of character considering how we would know them later on.

Was that one of the Black Smithers episodes too?

[2coldMack is even more baffled]

The one where Bart shoplifts a video game was never one of my favorites. Can't remember the name of it right off the top of my head.

That'd be my choice, it's grown on me a bit over the years, but Barts story is so damn depressing and there isn't enough to balance that.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

The Spinoff Showcase was the first episode I actively hated.

I think the reason I don't like it, is because I used to watch Simpsons mostly through syndication, and MAN, they played that episode a ton on the station I watched it on, so I just got sick to death of it.
