As someone who's put a great deal of thought into this subject over the years, I've got to say- this is one of those ultra-rare cases where the "internet/B8 consensus" on a topic is actually perfect.

As someone who never watched the simpsons growing up but have started watching it periodically on Disney+, I cannot find any different between early and later seasons as far as enjoyability goes. I actually prefer the refined animation of the later seasons.

I think a big part of our problem was, we (older kids at the time) watched the new episodes every Sunday night and the re-runs every afternoon, then we bought the earliest DVD sets when they came out and watched all the classics episodes again.

Which meant whenever the show tried to do something in the later seasons we rolled our eyes because "ugh so embarrassing, how did they forget they already did this back in S4?" Whereas someone coming into that same episode without our burden of knowledge would have just gone along for the ride and enjoyed themselves.

Or in other words, we Comic Book Guy'd ourselves.
