I still think it’s great until and including season 13, it has the Brazil episode and the weed episode, rather iconic.
Also has the old man yells at cloud meme
When I tried to do a complete rewatch last year, I found that quality started dropping in seasons 10 and 11. There were still funny moments and episodes but they were less consistent. I stopped about 2/3 of the way through season 14.
Behind The Laughter is a damn fine stopping point.
I went all the way to season 29. Only 1 to 4 good episodes a season after 10.
They became too afraid to be offensive.
I accidentally watched a few minutes of a new episode a year or two ago, and it just... was.
The only attempted joke I recall was Homer likening Marge's hair to a bell, which I guess kinda?
It was kind of freaky. Like seeing something I should recognize, but couldn't.
There are a fair few of memes from the Simpsons that actually come from "later" episodes, e.g.
While Season 11's "Behind The Laughter" is a good stopping point, S20, which is the last season Dana Gould was involved is also a good hard stop and still allows for meming.
Seasons 12-13 have some great episodes, but some bad ones too. I agree it's Season 14 where it took the true nose dive and stopped having great episodes.
A Trilogy of Error (a classic) is season 12. Probably the last episode i consider a classic.
You might be right. Not sure they're quite 'classics' but they were still making some decent ones:
Half Decent Proposal (Artie Ziff episode), The Bart Wants What It Wants (Bart dates Reiner Wolfcastle's daughter Greta), I Am Furious Yellow (Bart's 'Angry Dad' comics), and Papa's Got a Brand New Badge (SpringShield).
Wasn't mountain of madness season 14 or 15? Still a great episode. Just they had some stinkers
No, that was season 8. The highest rated episode on IMDB for seasons 14-15 is Moe Baby Blues (Moe become's Maggie's babysitter). Still a few decent ones in my opinion: I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot (Homer pretends to be a Robot Wars bot), and Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore (Milhouse moves to Capital City).
Still some classic moments. "Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!"
