Everything else is a six or five. Completely mediocre.

Eh, I think season 12 is higher than a 1 myself.

I'd actually give season 24 a 7. It had some pretty decent episodes throughout. Aside from that, everything after season 13 is below a 5 for me, except maybe season 18 which I could give a six for the virtue of it's three very good episodes ("Homerazzi," "Marge Gamer," ""24 Minutes").

I have a bit of a soft spot for a handful of season 14 and 15 episodes myself. It's not even out of the episodes being so fresh for me when I first saw them, since I was already watching the show as far back as seasons 9 or 10. I just like a surprising handful of episodes from those two years.

[LumRanmaYasha]

I dunno. I started watching the show in syndication with episodes from season 7 onwards, and then starting watching new episodes with season 17, but over the years I've grown to dislike pretty much any episode between seasons 14-23, even though I mostly enjoyed them as a kid and when I watched them the first time. Maybe I could revisit those seasons again, but I can't think of a single moment from those seasons I enjoyed at the top of my head at the moment.

I actually like season 14 and 15, its just that their highs aren't very high and their lows are nowhere near as bad as most other post-season 10 seasons.

One writer whose material has dated badly for me was anything Matt Selman wrote. He has a very obvious formula and it has not aged particularly well at all. Since he basically took over most of the writing duties after season 9, it really shows.

The Simpsons has so many seasons that I've sort of lost track. What was the point that they started getting good, and then started getting bad? I honestly tend to get episodes and seasons mixed up.

[Spark Of Spirit]

It started as a good show that got great and started petering out around season 9 and came into full collapse in season 11. They smoothed everything out by season 14, but never managed to hit consistent heights again.

I would advise anyone to watch at least season 4. I think that would give you the best idea of what the entirety of the show is like.

Well, for me personally, I've watched my fair share of it. I asked because there's just so much that I was honestly unsure what was what. It's like SpongeBob. Everything after the first three seasons blurs into a giant season 4.

Also, I wasn't a big season 1 fan.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Season 1 is closer to the idea of the shorts than the proper show.

That Spongebob blur you're talking about is pretty much every season after 14/15 where it becomes one long season. I think every season before that has its own distinguishing feature from the others.

Simpsons LEGO sets are coming.

[Nel_Annette]

It's such a shame LEGO sets are so expensive. I'd be all over those otherwise.

Lunchlady Doris is now Lunchlady Dora.

[LumRanmaYasha]

Kinda a random and pointless name change, but whatever.
