it's got this really weird, flat tone to it. like the writer's room has no sense of timing, even when a joke does work.

yeah, i'd say that season 10 is really the last decent season, and even that's not great. i wonder if it's nostalgia, but i watch 3 through 9 and still laugh a lot.

It got pretty alright in like 2009 after a decade or so of being a children's show. Every season since then has had some pretty good episodes mixed in with the bad. Like the one where homer loses his sex drive and Marge is really horny all the time

when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child - but now I am a man.
season 27 had one genuinely good episode, the non-treehouse halloween one, and i think the boyhood parody and maybe something else had a sense of emotional gravity that felt respectable even if it wasnt funny. then eg the lena dunham (ack!) episode did the inverse in that it had some funny jokes but was so cruel to the characters that anyone who actually cares about the simpsons got mad at it (eg me). to clarify i was paid for this

season 26 had a non-treehouse episode where kang and kodos abducted the simpsons into space and i dont think even the musical or improv themed episodes could ever top that low point
