Hmmm. I’ve rated three of Season 8’s episodes 6/10; none of the prior seasons had that many imperfect episodes*. Yet I’ve also rated five episodes 10/10; none of the prior seasons had that many perfect episodes. Thus I’m left with a conundrum: Is Season 8 the first season of The Simpsons to show signs of ennui or isn’t it?
*I think. I have to re-watch the first three seasons to know for sure.
