YOU ARE LISA SIMPSON:  Josh Kurp's Eight Times The Simpsons Made Me Cry might be my favorite highlight from SplitSider's Classic Simpsons Week.

  1. The episode where Bart sells his soul to Millhouse for $5 is one of my all-time favorite Simpsons eps. Tragic and hilarious all in one.

    Nos. 6 and 5 aired back-to-back during the seventh season. I remember watching it when it first aired and Homer screaming, "NOOOOOOOOO" as Ned attempts to baptize the kids and thinking, "Wow. That's going to get a lot of complaints." I always think of "Bart Sells His Soul" as the producers' mea culpa for "Home Diddly-Dum-Doodily."

  3. There could NOT be a better choice for #1 on this list.  As someone who was pretty much a Lisa Simpson as a kid, how could I NOT relate to "You mean there are places where my intelligence is an asset and not a liability?"

    My personal list would also include "Lisa On Ice", in which Bart and Lisa end up on opposing hockey teams.  The ending to that episode: perfection.

    "And Maggie Makes Three" is one of the episodes I use when I defend my thesis that the Simpsons are the most functional family on TV. (Note: i have not made this argument since Friday Night Lights went on the air - I think the Taylors bump the Simpsons down to #2.)

    The one that always gets me is the end of "Lisa's First Word" when Maggie says her first and only word: "Daddy," after Homer leaves the room.
