    "When I first watched 138th special clip show as soon as I saw Troy McClure Narrating I knew it was gonna be awesome
    And it was."

    I should have made it clear that I didn't include that episode, just the other two. That one gets a pass because actually very little of it is composed of old footage. I realise you don't seem that interested in actual discussion of the episodes' merits, but meh.

    Because they're not actual episodes, and shouldn't be considered so. If it is, it's just filler because you CAN'T make a full bad season out of the classic era.

At first, NHC was blocked on my laptop (for reasons I shall not say) so I used my Dad's laptop to look at it. For a whole month, I just searched R&R and Mr. Burns and Smithers threads. Then I decided to sign up.

    How are they not actual episodes? They still have plots. It's not like it's all clips from previous episodes.
    Favourite/least favourite by seasons that I own (somewhat stolen from Financial Panther):

    3 - Dog of Death/When Flanders Failed 4 - Lisa's First Word/So it's Come to This: A Simpsons Clip Show 5 - Secrets of a Successful Marriage/Bart's Inner Child 6 - And Maggie Makes Three/Another Simpsons Clip Show 7 - Marge Be Not Proud/Bart the Fink 8 - Homer's Phobia/The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase 9 - King of the Hill/Trash of the Titans 10 - Wild Barts Can't Be Broken/Maximum Homerdrive

    That's why the two I posted on my list is there, just for filler so the list wouldn't be too short, not because of the fact that they're clip shows. I left the 138th Episode Spectacular off because it felt more like a separate special from S7 than just a clip show.
    Jimbo Jones: [about Homer] I hear that guy's ass has it's own congressman!
    Bart Simpson: I wash myself with a rag on a stick.
    Homer Simpson: [takes cap out of dryer and puts it on his head] Mmmmm... I CAN feel three types of softness.
    Lisa Simpson: [from upstairs] Dad, what are you doing down there?
    Homer Simpson: Washing my fat guy's hat honey!

    I have to agree; clip shows seem to be the only majorly disliked episodes out of the classic era and while I think of them as episodes that shouldn't count, they do constitute the bad parts of classic era seasons. As I said before, it is almost impossible to think of a bad classic era season due to the fact that a majority of these episodes are classic, good and decent. None of them are truly terrible enough to be constituted as bad.

    It still has a plot, thin as it is. Hell, it even made me laugh once.
