IMDB season-by-season ratings for the Simpsons / (chart goes from good to bad as the years go by) / Frankie K says: "That chart is garbage. There are many great episodes every season. Guess it is just cool to criticise the Simpsons. Just as it was cool to be vaxxed and boosted."

Seasons 3-8 are generally considered "golden age" simpsons. Theres a lull for a few seasons where it gets very patchy, then it kinda enters a long silver age where episodes are fairly consistently good, with few poor ones and even fewer universally agreed upon greats.

Many fans completely ignore 9+. Others argue where sliver age begins.

The ratings only show the golden age and then slowly declining popularity, because popularity is only ever a loose proxy for quality.
