By its fourth series, The Simpsons had come far enough for Lisa to refer to the fact that both Dustin Hoffman and Michael Jackson had made guest appearances in series two and three, respectively. In this series, the cast continues to impress with Elizabeth Taylor, Red Hot Chili Peppers and even Hugh Hefner blessing The Simpsons with their iconic presences. Entertainment Weekly once ranked the top 25 Simpsons episodes and incredibly five nuggets from series four were featured in the top 12, including the choice for number one, ‘Last Exit to Springfield’.
Some of the other killer episodes in this series include ‘Mr Plow’, ‘Marge vs the Monorail’ and ‘A Streetcar Named Marge’ (featuring a beefed up Ned Flanders playing Marlon Brando’s role). No matter how many times you watch them, each episode continues to be a stroke of genius on this masterpiece of a series.
