I say every single season 1 episode because there are still people who insist on excluding them from classic era Simpsons.
What about Lisa's Rival? Everybody remembers the B plot, but how many people actually talk about the main plot? There's character development in Lisa being a big fish in a small pond, there's funny lines ("Here's the grapes, and here's the wrath!"), Milhouse getting chased by feds. I guess it's underrated in that sense.
Bart's Inner Child is kinda the same thing. The entire episode gets overshadowed by the trampoline B plot.
I get the exclusion cause it's a different beast almost, but season one kinda slaps in a way that the other seasons don't. Lisa has the best characterization early on. She's just depressed and clever but still 8.
I fucking love the tramampolone I mean trambopaline stuff, but you aren't wrong. However things not being double bolted was the reason for every failure at work for a while cause of that episode.
I'm a fifth level Simpsons fan, I only watch the Tracey Ullman shorts
