Massive poll chooses the best Simpsons episode ever

Mono = one. Rail = rail.

I don't need to stand here and tell you that The Simpsons was fantastic. Like a gone-0ff carton of milk in your fridge, The Simpsons is well past its sell by date at this stage. News that Ed Sheeran would feature in an upcoming programme also didn't really kick up much of a fuss. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/887427006358581248 Despite its decline, we still love The Simpsons, not for what it is now but what it used to be. People have tried to guess when the show started taking a turn for the worst and we say no, stop that. We shouldn't be figuring out its downfall but rather celebrating its glorious moments. Comedy writer Thom Phipps (Fried, Asylum) did just that. He decided to take it upon himself to create what he called The Simpsons World Cup. It's basically what it says on the tin, a round-robin tournament to discover the people's favourite Simpsons episode of all time. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/886553754568466433 Like the FIFA World Cup, he selected 64 of the show's most critically acclaimed episodes and one by one, winners were chosen by his followers until it was whittled down to just two. It took over a month to get to the final and we were left with two very hard episodes to choose from, Marge vs. the Monorail or Last Exit To Springfield. Here's the winner...   https://twitter.com/thwphipps/status/893075437915693057 Marge vs. the Monorail first aired in September 1992 and was written by Conan O'Brien. The episode is about Springfield building a faulty monorail from a conman, after Mr. Burns pays the town $3 million in fines for dumping toxic waste. There was some very stiff opposition in the form of Lemon Of Troy. Mr Plow, Bart v Australia and Flaming Moe's to name but a few. The World Cup has been causing havoc on Twitter and while some were happy with the choice, other were definitely not... https://twitter.com/jackbern23/status/893439564861362176 You can find the whole thread here.
