Krusty Gets Busted
Ultimately, I feel that Krusty Gets Busted is, to me, on a higher level than any other Simpsons episode in the first season. The animation in particular is impressive. Whilst, generally the first season is not perfectly animated, Krusty Gets Busted to me has as much in common animation-wise as the superior season 2.
The direction of the episode is also a high water-mark and has a more cinematic style compared to the somewhat limited format in many episodes. The acting is great, particularly Nancy Cartwright and Kelsey Grammar in his first of many appearances as Sideshow Bob.
My sole criticism of the episode is the sound, which has a problem with occasionally inexplicably reverberating sound. But the episode is still very good and even shows how in celebrity court cases how people can be very quick to choose aside regardless of the number of facts.
