Springfield vs. Shelbyville
That episode is actually called "The Lemon of Troy". One of my favorite as it has a cohesive plot, great gags, darn good storytelling, and the production value is great (for instance: a good use of background music, which they don't do all that often on the Simpsons).

SI

Yeah, I made no attempt to name them accurately. I tried to name them in the Simpsons' style of naming their shows for the most part, except in the one or two where I actually remembered the name (like "Cape Feare"). When the Simpsons' people got creative with their names, I'm sure my guesses are far off. :)

It is a great episode. :)
