As I have not done memes relating to The Simpsons in a while, here is something to conclude the dry spell. Also, this is the first seasonal meme, not counting the first one, without a "Treehouse of Horror" special included.

This meme's title should be "My Top 10 Episodes of The Simpsons (Seventh Season)", but of course the fifty-character limit would prevent it. Without further ado...

10. "Scenes from the Class Struggle in Springfield" (Production code 3F11, originally aired on February 4, 1996)

Maybe it was a good thing Marge's country club phase was short-lived, once she realizes how stuck-up she was acting towards the rest of the family. That and I do love the golf subplot involving Homer, Mr. Burns and Smithers, even if in real life that sport is like watching paint dry.

9. "The Day the Violence Died" (Production code 3F16, originally aired on March 17, 1996)

Any plot involving Itchy and Scratchy deserves inclusion, save maybe for the sole outlier that is "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie". Plus, we get a great homage to Schoolhouse Rock! as well.

8. "Team Homer" (Production code 3F10, originally aired on January 7, 1996)

Written by Mike Scully, the man whom the fandom oftentimes accuses of contributing to a dip in quality during the late '90s and early 2000s, a plot involving bowling should be dull, but it works. Plus, the subplot involving introduction of school uniforms makes me glad I graduated from elementary school before my school (which was a Catholic one) had introduced them.

7. "A Fish Called Selma" (Production code 3F15, originally aired on March 24, 1996)

The Planet of the Apes musical, complete with a song based on Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus", lands this a much deserved place here.

6. "King-Size Homer" (Production code 3F05, originally aired on November 5, 1995)

I will say this, it is absolutely not out of character how Homer intentionally gains weight for a disability claim.

5. "Home Sweet Homediddly-Dum-Doodily" (Production code 3F01, originally aired on October 1, 1995)

The idea of the Simpson kids being in Ned and Maude Flanders' custody may be jarring, especially given Homer's disdain for Ned, but an episode like this is not without its moments.

4. "Bart on the Road" (Production code 3F17, originally aired on March 31, 1996)

I was actually watching a rerun of this last night (November 2, 2023), and it is a great plot involving a road trip. Also, like I would point out to AdamFrankenstein , I love how during the scene where Nelson insists on attending an Andy Williams concert when they are in Branson, Missouri (which Bart describes as being like Las Vegas if Ned Flanders ran it), he is the only one out of the four boys who retains a sense of undivided attention (Milhouse and Martin sleep, and Bart is bored).

3. "Lisa the Vegetarian" (Production code 3F03, originally aired on October 15, 1995)

Admittedly, Lisa went too far with sabotaging Homer's barbecue, but nevertheless the sequence that involves Bart and Homer's pursuit of the roast pig (which is fruitless once it plugs up a dam's spillway, then shot into mid air) is priceless. That alone lands this a much deserved place here.

2. "22 Short Films About Springfield" (Production code 3F18, originally aired on April 14, 1996)

Aside from the episode basically being like multiple plots combined into one, the "Steamed Hams" scene with Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers alone lands this one here.

1. "Homerpalooza" (Production code 3F21, originally aired on May 19, 1996)

How can you go wrong with any plot featuring Cypress Hill, the Smashing Pumpkins, and Sonic Youth? Plus, this was the perfect note for both Brent Forrester and Wes Archer (this episode's writer and director respectively) to go out on before they worked on King of the Hill.

Honorable mentions:

"Two Bad Neighbors"

"The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular"

"Mother Simpson"

"Bart Sells His Soul"

"Summer of 4 Ft. 2"
