"Lisa The Iconoclast" is an excellent episode. The plot is: The Jebediah Springfield memorial parade is coming up in town, and Lisa's class has to write an essay about him. Then Lisa goes to visit Hollis Hurlbut (voiced by a first-rate Donald Sutherland) who runs an shop about Jebediah. She figures out that Jebediah is a murderous pirate named Hans Sprungfeld. In the other subplot, Homer becomes the town crier and helps Lisa convince the town of her surprising find.
What's great about this episode is the fantastic chemistry between Lisa and Homer and the perfect mixture of hilarious comedy and drama. ("You suck-diddly-uk, Flanders!!" and "Where's The Fife, Gimme the Fife.") When nobody believes her, and Homer gets stripped of being Town Crier, you really feel for them. The ending is perfect and caps off a stand-out episode.
