The premise (from Wikipedia)

The second episode of The Simpsons’ eighth season. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 3, 1996. The episode, based on a story idea by Greg Daniels, has three major concepts: the family moves to a new town; Homer gets a friendly, sympathetic boss; and that boss, unbeknownst to Homer, is a supervillain. Bart, Lisa, and Marge each have individual secondary storylines. It was directed by Mike B. Anderson and written by John Swartzwelder.

 

So this is the best episode of The Simpsons and if you disagree you’d better put forth a good candidate. I can think of two off the top of my head that I might concede to.

But seriously, this episode has it all. Albert Brooks, Homer failing upwards and not realizing it, amazingly quotable dialogue (“Ever seen a someone say goodbye to a shoe?!”), James Bond parodies, the Denver Broncos…

Truly the best.
