The Simpsons Index

This show has a really unique twist on how it approaches a TV review show by pulling episodes from different decades to discuss together. I dig it!

Found this podcast from Worst Episode Ever and it has not disappointed. Truly love the hosts enthusiasm and banter. BT is a treasure. This pod is a must listen for a Simpsons fan.

The way they do three episodes with one each roughly from the three different decades of the show was a stroke of genius. It actually shows that the Simpsons has gotten mildly better season 20 and beyond, and the mid to late teens were the absolute depths of crap for the series. About the only criticism I have is — maybe it could be edited for time a bit. Episodes run long.

I listen to no less than four Simpsons podcasts. The Index, The Simpsons Show, Worst Episode Ever, and Pods in the Key of Springfield. While all four have their own unique quirks and strengths, hands down the thing that makes the Index unique is their ranking system and three episodes a show. This makes them the most likely to rank every Simpsons episode sometime this century. Plus the format of splitting episodes into the three distinct eras was a fantastic idea. All of the props to Elliot Jay O'Neill, BT Calloway and friends.
