I know this was done a while ago on Sky one but this i my simpsons top ten episodes:

10. A Star Is Burns
Springfield plays host to a film festival in which various townspeople display their original work. Barney presents "Pukahontas," a haunting meditation on his alcoholism; Apu directs "Bright Lights, Beef Jerky," the tale of a lonely man working the loneliest shift in a small-town Kwik-E-Mart. Two other important entries are Mr. Burns' autobiographical "A Burns for All Seasons" and Hans Moleman's "Man Getting Hit by Football." Despite receiving bribes from Mr. Burns, the judges choose to honor "Pukahontas" as the festival's best film. Luckily for Moleman, his film is remade as "Football in the Groin," a star vehicle for George C. Scott, and wins an Oscar for Best Picture.

9. Itchy and Scratchy Land
After weeks of begging, Bart and Lisa finally convince their parents to take them to Itchy & Scratchy Land, a new high-tech amusement park on a remote island. Once there, the kids run off to enjoy the attractions while Homer and Marge spend their day on Parents' Island. All is fine until Bart and Homer are both arrested by park security for harassing the costumed employees. Marge bails Homer and Bart out of Itchy & Scratchy jail just as several defective Itchy & Scratchy robots go on a killing rampage. A bloody battle between the Simpsons and their robot attackers ensues and the family escapes the island alive. As they are airlifted to safety, Marge requests that the family never speak of this trip again.

8. The Springfield Connection
After she helps catch a petty criminal, Marge decides that her calling in life is to become a police officer. As a member of the Springfield Police Department, Marge experiences feelings of power and authority that she's never known before. Homer, on the other hand, is resentful of his wife's new job and takes the opportunity to flaunt the law. Marge is forced to arrest him. Once released, Homer plays a routine game of poker with his pals, but one of the players, Herman, is hiding criminal activities that Marge is forced to bust. When Marge realizes that Herman will be let off by crooked cops, she resigns from the police department and returns to her normal life.

7. Last Exit To Springfield
Homer finds himself filling in for the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant's union leader when it comes time to negotiate their new contract with Mr. Burns. Homer is a tough negotiator, despite not knowing the first thing about union organizing, and forces Burns to accept the union's demands on the condition that Homer be removed as leader.

6. Deep Space Homer
Homer and Barney are recruited to be NASA astronauts, so the organization will be more appealing to the common man. It looks like Barney will actually be the one shot into space, but when he falls off the wagon, Homer goes instead. In the space capsule, Homer causes all forms of accidents and conflicts with other astronauts like Buzz Aldrin, until he actually endangers the lives of everyone by breaking the handle off of an outer door. The only thing that can save the day is a heroic inanimate carbon rod.

5. Bart vs. Australia
Bart and his entire family must fly out to the land down under and apologize to the Australian people for a crank call. Once there, Evan Conover, the Undersecretary of State for International Protocol, Brat and Punk Division, tells the Simpsons that in Australia, the only acceptable apology is for the guilty party to receive a swift kick in the pants from the Prime Minister. Appalled by such savagery, Homer refuses to allow the Australians to "boot" his son, further fraying already tenuous Australio-American relations. Trapped in the American embassy, surrounded on all sides by enraged Australians polishing their booting boots, Bart decides to accept his punishment the only way he knows how: He pulls down his pants and moons the Australians with the words "Don't Tread on Me" written on his butt. The Simpsons escape the embassy with the Australians in hot pursuit and make it back to America, where freedom to pull pranks is a Constitutional right.

4. Krusty Gets Kancelled
After the most successful advertising campaign Springfield has ever seen, The Krusty the Clown show gets bumped in the ratings by Arthur Crandall, a droll ventriloquist, and Gabbo, his excitable dummy. Gabbo is a huge hit, and Krusty's show is cancelled as a result of falling ratings. Bart and Lisa enlist the help of Krusty's Hollywood pals like Hugh Hefner, Bette Midler, Elizabeth Taylor, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and others to save his show. After an emotional TV special, Krusty's show is brought back for good. No one ever hears from Arthur Crandall or Gabbo again.

3. Seperate Vocations
After taking career aptitude tests, Lisa discovers that the occupation she's best suited for is homemaker while Bart is pegged as a future police officer. Each takes the opportunity to explore their options as Lisa spends the day doing chores with Marge and Bart goes on a ride along with the police. Lisa hates her role and rebels by becoming a troublemaker at school. Police life fits Bart like a glove and he becomes a hall monitor, handing out demerits to his classmates for minor infractions. When Lisa secretly steals all of the teachers' manuals, it's up to Bart and Principal Skinner to figure out who did it. Realizing his sister is the culprit, Bart takes the rap and returns to his life as a bad student and detention regular.

2. 138th Spectacular
To celebrate the momentous 138th episode of The Simpsons, Troy McClure hosts a retrospective of classic moments and never-before-seen outtakes. As a reward to the show's loyal viewers, a number of long-unanswered questions, like "What's the deal with Mr. Smithers?" are finally addressed, sort of. Also answered is the question, "Who are Matt Groening and James L. Brooks?" As the 138th episode spectacular makes clear, Groening is an America-Firster with an itchy trigger finger and Brooks is the lovable Mr. Moneybags from Monopoly.

1. $pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)
When gambling is legalized in Springfield, Mr. Burns opens an extravagant casino on the boardwalk. Homer is hired as a blackjack dealer despite his counting difficulties and Marge finds herself drawn to the slots, where she begins to spend all of her time. Meanwhile, cashing in on the trend, Bart opens his own casino in his treehouse. Luckily, Bart escapes the same fate as Mr. Burns, who starts to go crazy from owning a casino. Shut up in his sterile penthouse suite, Burns stop cutting his nails and hair and starts wearing tissue boxes as slippers. Down on the casino level, Homer must force Marge to give up her slot machine addiction.

I know some classics have been left out but for me these are my top ten what ure opinions?
