I think it's still really good up until season 12 starts.

And the perfect way to cap it off was the season 11 finale which is in my top 5 episodes.
It really serves as bookend for the "good era" of the simpsons.

9x02 though. And 9x01 is no prize. Eight is the last time it's wonderful the whole way through.

How is that possible. It's older then i am almost and gets rerun constantly
I don't know ... it just happened and it steam rolled, I guess.

I was in high school when it came out and I was just soooooooo totally TOO cool for a cartoon show. And seriously, I wasn't going to videotape over my MTv Madonna Marathon VHS tapes.

And now ... do I really binge watch The Simpsons? I think I've picked up most of the cultural references at this point :wink:

Well I don't recommend that. Just watch 2-8 and be done with it.
Skip season 1? :thinking:

I don't think Simpson's is about storyline continuity. Bart has been 10 years old for 30 years.
I guess not, but I figured there would be some character development/in-jokes that you have to watch the older stuff to get.

I don't know, I usually end up watching mostly the same stuff on netflix these days lol. I did watch Bates Motel b/c everyone was talking about it a few weeks ago though.

I was in school. bart t-shirts were banned. why. why do you guys have to constantly remind me im old?
:p
That show is the worst when it comes to reminding me how old I am. It blows my mind that there are people that are old enough to already be out of college, that are younger than that show. I remember watching the old Simpson clips on the Tracey Ullman show before they even got their own show. :grandma:

Yeah, you can get away with it. It's not the same. They were still very much figuring things out. You could circle back and watch it if you like the rest.

My friend recommends that with Deep Space Nine as well.
With DS9, I always recommend skipping the first 3, lol.

Back then it was only a nickle to go to the picture show.

Well it was nice knowing all of you.
I'll be over at MTG now.
