The Simpsons: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best
5. Season 3
If season 2 was a step-up from season 1, then season 3 is where the show perfected itself and was cemented as perhaps the best show of the 90s.
Between Homer's creation of a popular new cocktail in "Flaming Moe's" to a sweet flashback to Homer and Marge's wedding, the season is a revelation in storytelling, with each episode being crafted perfectly without relying on too many gags.
Herb Powell, now homeless, makes a humorous return, too, and Sideshow Bob comes back to town with a plot to murder his new beau, Selma.
Each episode of season 3 works wonders as a riveting self-contained story, setting the show up as one of the most well-written and daring on TV.
