I get baffled by the fact that it looks like the current opinion of the first seasons of The Simpsons gets valued into the 7-8. I saw that previously on IMBD
Now, I enjoy Smallville (I really do), but I can watch old episodes of The Simpsons laughing along the way and quoting them almost line by line. It's probably the ONLY TV Show I can watch it over and over without growing old. I've seen some episodes more than 10 times, and they are still brilliant.
Other than the fact that, yes, probably is not as good as it was, I still think is weirdly under appreciated in ratings these days, not sure way. The first seasons are GOLD. Are part of the basic vocabulary all over the world. They are innovative in terms of cartoons in ways that they are not easy to see now (in particular, the first seasons tend to use the "camera" in ways that it was never been done in cartoons, or even real action movies)
When it started, they started to show it up in Spain late at night as "cartoon for adults". My mother watch ONE episode, and decided that I NEEDED to watch it (I was a 11 year old kid at the time). That it was SO GOOD it will be bad to miss it. So I'd watch it next day through the wonders of VCR.
I sincerely think that The Simpsons is The Best. TW Show. EVER.
It's just that we are so used to have it around, that we don't see it...
To put this in context, that's the same as Smallville (http://www.geos.tv/index.php/index?sid=161)
