Man, this tournament is getting BRUTAL. Three of my favorite episodes ever (Dead Putting Society, which had a one of a kind WAYYYY over the top angry Homer which fortunately was never re-used again, Last Exit To Springfield, which crams an AMAZING amount of material into 22 minutes, and Homie the Klown which is just simply the funniest Simpsons episode ever written) have already been shot down, and I’m sure many of you are missing some of your favorites too. Just an update on business. Justin\_Bailey has volunteered to run a neglectorino classic tournament when this one finishes, with 64 more classic episodes, so go bug _him_ if you want your favorites included next time around. I’ll do the Treehouse of Horror tournament come Octoberish. Tis The 15th Season was without a doubt the best Christmas episode, so we don’t even need to settle _that_ one. Okay, round 3 open. Get your votes in by next Tuesday night. Groening, Brooks & Simon Bracket: 1. Itchy & Scratchy & Marge vs 13. Three Men & A Comic Book 2. Krusty Gets Busted vs 3. Lisa’s Substitute Jean & Reiss Bracket 3. Homer At the Bat vs 13. Mr. Plow 4. Cape Feare vs 2. Marge vs the Monorail Mirkin Bracket 5. Deep Space Homer vs 12. Homer: Bad Man 6. Homer the Great vs 14.
