To celebrate 20 seasons on the air, I'm presenting my list of the best 20 episodes of The Simpsons.

Choosing the 20 best episodes of The Simpsons, though, is very difficult since there are far more than 20 that are just wonderful. Some I love because I laugh so hard, and some I love because they touch my heart. I also tried to pick episodes that focused on a variety of characters, though most of them are about Homer Simpson. Finally, ranking my picks from best to worst is pointless, as one episode isn't really any better than the other.

So, in alphabetical order, here are my favorite 20 episodes of The Simpsons.

"Bart the Daredevil"

Twentieth Century Fox

In "Bart the Daredevil," Bart embarks on a life of death-defying feats when he sees a daredevil perform at a Monster Truck Rally. This episode makes my list mainly because of Homer's long, painful fall down the cliff... twice. "Bart the Daredevil," like other early episodes, isn't as much about Homer being a doofus, as a father whose trying his best, fails, and then redeems himself.
