    Best Episode
    Unquestionably the best episode of the Simpsons. Wonderful cameos, the iconic monorail song and an incredible opening sequence that references the Flintstones and Beverly Hills Cop. I love South Park, early Family Guy and Rick & Morty, but this is without doubt the high watermark of 22 mins animated comedy.
