If the latest, most consistent form of a Simpsons meme came from the movie then it’s likely most people are fans of the roughly first ten seasons. That said some of the episodes in the last six seasons have been getting much better even if they stray from comedy to some dramatic or darker tones.
That’s generous. Me, I’m ruthless. I’ll give you 1-8, with selected episodes of 9 or 10. After that, if you like one there will be an inquiry. Failure to prove hilarious genius will result in swift and permanent disbarment.
I remember at our weekly watch party when Lisa started singing “Jazz Man” and there was mass panic and a stampede of screaming confusion leaving only overturned chips and guac and spilled beverages as we ran out into the humid dark of night . . .
I agree on season 1 but have you looked at season 2 recently? I thought I was the same (start at 3) but for Halloween we watched through episodes of Tree House of Horror and Season 2 has some classic bits. The Raven was done quite well, Season 2 also has Marge vs Itchy and Scratchy, and Homer’s half brother Herb.
Oh totally, there are some good ones in season 2. You could tell they were starting to hit their stride and the voices were getting to where they should be and the animation was massively better, but it still irks me hearing the “old voices”. By season 3 that was all gone.

Yeah, it’s 11 or 12 usually the cut off for a lot of people?

I think we’ve all been there
Really? I’m the opposite. I straight up can’t watch the first season. The second isn’t as bad but I’d prefer to skip to 3 when it was more polished.
