Really? I'd argue that seasons 4-8 were, for the most part, the peak of the series. Seasons 1-3 alone were nothing all that special.

Marge vs the Monorail was the greatest episode ever, so whatever season that was.

Season 4. Which also contained the gems "Last Exit to Springfield", "Mr. Plow", and "Homer the Heretic" just to name a few.

9 is typically the recognized stopping point. If you want to get really picky 2-6 are the absolute best.

Yeah in that case season 4 was the best, I haven't watched it since the episode where they travel to France to get the car back or something odd like that.

Season 4 is easily the best. So many classic episodes.

I think the Simpsons is still a great show, atleast much better than most other crap on TV. Especially Family Guy.

I'd say their best seasons are 1-11

yeah. there are still good episodes.. but some are dreadful. there seemed to be more consistency back in the day... not complaining though since they've provided me countless hours of entertainment.

Every once in a while I'll catch a new episode and, man, they are embarrassingly bad. It's a tragedy how far they've dumbed the show down.

tbh, it really started to go down after Phil Hartman's death in my opinion. He played the best background characters in the series

The show is pretty much hit & miss at this point. There are some really good episodes that are like the season 1-11 episodes, but there are also very boring episodes. I can't really blame them, they are simply running out of idea's after keeping the show alive for so long. It is still an amazing accomplishment.

With season 1-8, its actually very rare to find a BAD episode :P

It is season 9. I'd say though that season 1 holds up pretty terribly. It's worth watching once to see the roots of the series, but its' pretty bad in comparison to seasons 2-9.
