1.You Should Pull Only One All-Nighter and It Should Be Friday Night Into Saturday Morning (Season Four Into Season Five)
You’re not as young as used to be. You used to rock and roll all night, and party every day. Then it was every other day. Now you’re lucky to find half an hour a week to get caught up with your DVR before you fall asleep on the couch. But party like it’s 1993 from Saturday evening until Sunday morning. That’s when season four turns into season five, and if you’re fast asleep, you’ll miss such classics as “Rosebud,” “Homer's Barbershop Quartet,” and freaking "Cape Feare" — you don't want to miss "Cape Feare." Sunday night into Monday morning is also incredible, but, again, you're not as young as you used to be. None of us are.
2.Watch Every Sideshow Bob Episode
For newbies and fans, the marathon provides you with an interesting opportunity to watch the show in a different way. We suggest creating a miniseries of sorts by watching every episode that features Sideshow Bob, undeniably the show's greatest reoccurring guest star. Perfectly voiced by Kelsey Grammer, Bob is as close as the show gets to a multiseason story arc. Here are all of his episodes: "Krusty Gets Busted" (season one) "Black Widower" (s3); "Cape Feare" (s5); "Sideshow Bob Roberts" (s6); "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming" (s7); "Brother from Another Series" (s; "Day of the Jackanapes" (s12); "The Great Louse Detective" (s14); "The Italian Bob" (s17); "Funeral for a Friend" (s19); "Wedding for Disaster" (s20), though briefly; "The Bob Next Door" (s21); "At Long Last Leave" (s23), though very briefly; "The Man Who Grew Too Much" (s25).
3. DVR All the "Treehouse of Horror" Episodes and Watch Separately
The “Treehouse of Horror” series is a must-see and we recommend watching it in one chunk. Be sure to DVR the annual Halloween episode, which began in season two, and once the marathon is over (and only once the marathon’s over) binge watch 'em all. It’s a weird tonal shift going from “Sideshow Bob Roberts” to “Treehouse of Horror V” back to “Bart’s Girlfriend.” It makes a lot more sense to transition from “Treehouse of Horror V” to “Treehouse of Horror VI.”
4.Seriously, Watch the Later Seasons, Especially the Episodes Written by Matt Selman
Some people and some other sites will tell you that you don't have to watch after season eight, but please don't listen to those people. Seriously. Sure, the rate of great episodes drops off, but some of the show's best half-hours happen after season ten. A way to know which ones will probably be great, is to just look at which ones were written by or co-showrun by Matt Selman (here's his Wiki). This includes latter classics like "Behind the Laughter," "Trilogy of Error," "All's Fair in Oven War," "That '90s Show" (more on that later), and "The Day the Earth Stood Cool."
