No surprise that I've only seen one (the kidney episode, and I barely remember that).

"Worst or worser". Or worst still.

Out of 746 episodes that's not bad really.

Well, seemingly the 10 worst. The very, very few new ones I've caught in the past 15 years or so were not what I'd call "good."

Oh I've seen plenty in the last 15 years that have made me laugh. Sure they'll never match that golden period. That Panda episode sure was crass though and overstepped the mark.

I honestly can't say whether I don't find 21st century Simpsons funny on its own or because I contrast it to the episodes of the 90s. Either way, no, it ain't for me at all.

Even with my vague memories, I refuse to believe that season 10 episode is worse than most any random episode from seasons 20ish-present.

I've started listening to the audio commentaries from season one to eight while I'm doing stuff. Those harvard dweebs are good company and we're now as far from the recording of them as they were from the episodes they were commenting on.

I've tried a couple of these but I think I was spoiled by the Futurama ones. The ones I watched from the Simpsons had a lot of dead air.

I would buy this. Probably wouldn't eat it but I'd buy it in the event that Doc paid a visit. I have some crackers getting stale just for that potential occasion too

I'm comforted that you're willing to plan for these possibilities.

Well if the opportunity should arise Id hate to disappoint you with a flavorful home cooked meal.
