9 seasons of pure solid gold. Most shows can't even stay good for 2 seasons. Now argue.

Now argue


So we're in agreement that way over half of the entire show largely isn't actually very good? By that factor alone you can't possibly consider it one of the best shows of all time - way too much weak content overall.

You can easily argue that seasons 3-9 of The Simpsons is some of the greatest television ever produced. Almost nothing comes close to that. The rest of the show ranges from being just okay or semi watchable to being very, very bad. So say seven-ish great seasons out of 30+?

I wonder how people would feel about The Simpsons today if they had ended it after like ten seasons and a movie.

I've got nothing to argue against. I agree that Simpsons at its peak is the best show ever made.

No, because having 9 great seasons alone is something very very very few shows can do.

At one point that would have been true, but like people are saying, only a third or less of the show can actually be considered great. It's really too bad that Simpsons has fallen so far from what it was.

It was back in the 90s.

Even the early 90s episodes are ahead of their time. The writing was simply phenomenal

Regular Show is not better than prime Simpsons. Not even in the same ballpark.

Okay but what show since has had a better run? How it is now has nothing to do with its all time greatness. That's what matters. What other shows have been consistently good for 9 seasons straight and the level that Simpsons did it?

Depends on your point of view. Following your argument, can you truly say it's the best when it has 9 good seasons and the other 20 are kind of bad? Wouldn't a show that has consistent quality for say, 3 seasons, be considered better?

I don't think it's fair to let how long it's continued on take away from what was achieved in the 90s.

And one could argue it's not fair to ignore the massive drop in quality.

For the record, I'm just trying to argue for argument's sake. I agree with you.

That is a fair point. But I know I keep saying it, but we aren't comparing it to 2, 3, or even 4 great seasons but 9. Plus Phil Hartmans death was another reason it went down in quality even if his roles were small.
