For anyone wondering the top rated episodes here, all at 9.2 are:
S5E2 Cape Feare
S6E6 Treehouse of Horror V
S6E25 Who Shot Mr. Burns? Part One
S8E2 You Only Move Twice
And just as I was finishing that, I noticed that one episode has a 9.3, d'oh!
S8E23 Homer's Enemy
Love how even IRL people forget about Frank Grimes. good ol Grimey
Change the channel Marge!
Just want to add that nobody is talking about the decline of tv itself. Its not only the simpsons but the whole media.
Exactly. This needs to be baselined with aggregate ratings for TV or at least the genre.
I watched the Simpsons as a kid. Never thought much about it, but Homer's Enemy is the one episode that resurfaced in my mind as an adult decades later.
I went into ye olde Plex server to see what 8-23 is about and immediately went "yep. That tracks."
