On a rewatch with my partner (their first time watching!) season 1 hit SO differently than it did when I was young. I hated old episodes as a kid, but going through all of season 1 in a few days, it was EXCELLENT. Sooo much heart, just janky animation. We both cried at least once, like real feelings and shit!
First 8 are generally recognized as I understand it maybe 9 unsure how much us nostalgia influenced vs it got stale writing for characters especially homer started to change US society started to change etc.
The writers’ general consensus is that the “Golden Age,” ended with season 9, episode 2, “The Principal and the Pauper.” I’m not sure if they believe the episode itself to be a part of the Golden Age or not, but I think its a pretty good episode.
OK…which are they?
4-7 twice and the Halloween episodes as the ninth
Seasons 2 - 10

I think season 1 was good. Better than a lot of the later stuff, certainly.
But the art and animation and the pacing really improved over the next seasons.
Hooo boy the art is indeed a rough sight hahaha
seasons 3-11!
I think he’s talking to you
I might include the Treehouse of Horrors episodes as a stand alone season. There are sure dozens of outliers.
