    Classic Burnsmithers Episode Tourney Round 1A: "Delilah" vs "Trillions"

    "Trillions" is one of the major turning points for Burns' character, in my opinion...his characterization is pretty ridiculous, overly-stupid and -friendly with Homer. "Delilah" is nearly perfect; Burns isn't characterized quite perfectly, but he is still good in it. And Smithers' role and characterization are great.

    Same here. The Trouble With Trillions is not definitely a bad characterization for Burns, he behaves friendly with Homer (but not always, he firstly tries to hurt him in some hilarious ways), but it's a friendship forced by an extreme situation. Moreover, I didn't find anything too much jerk on his character here.

    I also love Burns' characterization in Simpson And Delilah, therefore I chose the best episode in general.

    I recently re-watched S9 episode and thought that it was not really bad, but "Simpson and Delilah" still gets my vote

    Simpson And Delilah. Though it's not really "Burns-centric".

    Believe it or not, it took me a while to realise Karl was gay (even with the kiss.)

    "Simpson and Deliah"
    Kids, let me tell you about another so-called ``wicked'' guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas. He didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was...
    I forget. But the point is... I forget that, too. Marge, you know what I'm talking about. He used to drive that blue car?

    -- Homer's parable of the guy in the blue car, ``Homer the Heretic''

    Principal Skinner: No Ralph this means you're failing English
    Ralph: Me fail English? That's unpossible.

    Trillons had its moments but was mostly dumb. Delilah isn't as great as some say, but a decent episode that is much better than its opponent.

    Trillions is very underated although a bit of a weak storyline.

    Trouble with Trillions had a good first act but the rest went downhill with a weak and somewhat predictable plot that was lacking in humor. Simpson and Delilah was very funny with a vey intriguing plot and has my vote here.
