Old Simpsons
The Simpsons can be split into four epochs:
- The Beginning (Seasons 1-3), where the family look like they have been drawn by the elderly Spanish woman who “fixed” the Jesus fresco;
- The Golden Age (Seasons 4-8), where every episode is perfection;
- The Descent (Seasons 9-14) when the show loses its way with shark-jumping plotlines (Principal Skinner is actually a fraud who stole an army colleague’s identity); And finally, the darkest era:
- The New Simpsons (Season 15 onwards), where most fans reach their limit of mediocrity...
