The mission of the “Worst Episode Ever” podcast is to rank each post-1990s episode of “The Simpsons” and ultimately find which episode is THE worst episode ever. All objectively, of course. If you're looking for specific seasons, you can jump to those episodes here: Season 31 - Season 30 - Season 29 - Season 28 - Season 27 - Season 26 - Season 25 - Season 24 - Season 23 - Season 22 - Season 21 - Season 20 - Season 19 - Season 18 - Season 17 - Season 16 - Season 15 - Season 14 - Season 13 - Season 12 - Season 11 - Season 10 - Season 9

Here’s the list to date (podcast episode numbers in parentheses). The worst episodes we've watched are listed first, and the episodes get better as you go down the list. The episodes of "The Simpsons," that is. The episodes of the podcast are consistently great, and you should listen to all of them:
