During the pandemic, I bored-watched the past few seasons. Like everything after 2018.

There's a lot of really good episodes. Every season, at least 2-3 episodes are really standout. The most recent one with Conan O'Brien was solid.

The writers know what they're writing. And there's less milking of relevance, and more just trying to tell a fun story.

OK, but out of a 22 to 23 episodes a season, that means at best...what, around 9 to 13% of episodes are really good? I think I'd rather just watch Bob's Burgers than watch the Simpsons and hope every 7th or 8th episode approaches its former glory.

If I did want to drop back in, b/c I saw the sharp slope down after s09 or so, where would you recommend.

Someone should come up with a curated list of episodes that us "pre S9, yelling at clouds, grouchy old" fans would enjoy

I went to a random "Best episodes of the Simpsons season X" and did that. If I liked that episode, I'd play the whole season.
