the springfield connection!

Happy new year!

Hello, and welcome to 2012 at the springfield connection. A few days late, we've launched our now-annual review of 2011. In it, we go over ratings, fan opinion and our calculated popularity score to pick out the best and worst episodes of the year, and this year we've added guest star info, a review of the season as a whole and a review of this year's big news. You can also vote for your favourite episode just below, on the homepage, or on the separate review page too.
It's something you can do anytime with our guide but we think it's nice to present it in a different, more easily digestible way.
If you disagree with what we've collated, then feel free to argue with us on Twitter @springfieldconn. Until then, enjoy!
