Season two is where it really finds its stride. By season three it is a well-oiled quality machine.

I've never seen anything past season 15 or so, but I feel confident in my ability to tell you there isn't a single good episode in that run

season 1 gets gradually better, then a big jump to start season 2.

I like the season 1 episodes but I know Im in the minority there. Season 2 is where the characters & episode structure find their footing, and season 3s where the average joke density per episode thickens considerably & the show really hits its stride.

Yeah, season 2. It still feels a bit like season 1 near the beginning, but there's a significant jump in quality throughout that season, and then again in following years.

season 1 isn't bad at all. the next 10 years just outclass it so strongly that it looks worse in comparison.

I think Season 1 is important because it introduces so many characters that become television juggernauts

3-9 is considered prime and golden age Simpsons.

season 10 and 11 has some quality - but it definitely, at least imo, takes a huge dip in quality following season 9.

Could someone explain the episode when Marge was about to cheat on homer with that bowling guy Jacques? I thought they were going to reveal him as a bad guy who was gonna trick Marge like a typical romcom villain but he just seems to be a guy who really wanted to seduce Marge?

Speaking of homer, does he get better? Its frustrating to watch such a selfish asshole who does things like give his son bad advice about life, ignore his daughter, take his wife for granted, and spend all his non work time at a bar rather than be with his family.

It just made the episode feel a little too real. Like he wasn't some evil Adam Sandler villain who was gonna laugh it up with his croneys later, his meeting with Marge just... happened.

If anything he gets worse in the long run. Although he tends to become more of a dope. In season 1 he overall seemed more like a bitter man.

But he has some meaningful episodes in the near future.

I almost feel sad about the episode itchy and scratchy and Marge.

I wonder what the lesson is. Without cartoons for kids to be glued to the screen for, they go out and play getting exercise and being healthy. Its a hard truth and not in the least ironic lol

I dont "get" Marge simpson's voice. Why does she sound like that. What is the deal with that gimmick. Everyone else's voice changed or improved slightly in season 2 like homer and mr burns but she still has that weird voice.

Like, is it a statement on how prevalent smoking used to be during Matt Groening's time? The consequences of 60s America and all the smoking?

Somewhere in season 2. But by the start of season 3 it is god tier, and it remains that way through season 8, then season 9 is about as good as 2, maybe a bit better and 10 is like 1 and beyond is nothing.

Yeah it was a lot more grounded that first season. I thought the Jacques character was pretty funny though. Did you notice he was voiced by Albert Brooks (also the voice of Hank Scorpio)? I love his bad French accent. The way he explains what "brunch" is to Marge cracks me up every time.

The Call of Simpsons feels like a weird episode to single out as a bad apple, easily one of the more enjoyable S1 episodes imo.

Aged poorly is an insufferable midwit take like 95% of the time, but it does genuinely apply to Homers Night Out. Like... he danced next to the lady. Not even in a demeaning way or anything.

That was weird even at the time. A better example of genuinely "aging poorly" is Homer's Walter Matthau voice. It sounds super weird AND wildly inappropriate to the character.

That's just literally the actress's voice. She has polyps on her vocal chords and she sounds like that all the time. She also does Patty and Selma's voices.

So how do would you rank the seasons? For me it's:

4>5>6>3>7>8>2>1>9

and after that each season is progressively worse.
