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!

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

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.

Fun fact, this episode is considered non-cannon, which is extremely rare for a non-anthology episode. Even, "You Only Move Twice," is considered cannon. In the Simpsons universe, the "Armin Tanzarian," thing never really happened, but Hank Scorpio took over the East Coast for an unspecified period of time.

Cannon, eh? ~Scorpion,~ ~eh?~

joking aside, i have designs for a business hammock that have been sitting in my back pocket ever since we lost the East Coast

I might include the Treehouse of Horrors episodes as a stand alone season. There are sure dozens of outliers.

4-7 twice and the Halloween episodes as the ninth
