The Best Simpsons Episodes… Ever! – The Longlists

This weekend marks the 500th episode of the Simpsons. It’s a mammoth achievement, and to celebrate, I’ll be publishing my list of the series’ 10 best episodes (and the all-time worst). But while I’m deciding, have a gander at the longlist. These are what I’ve narrowed down to being my 50 favorite episodes of the series.
