>first and second seasons aren't included in golden

Life In Hell is the real golden age Simpsons.

It begins getting good mid-third season, then really takes off from season 4. Post season 10 is where it begins to become unwatchable

Season 1 is rougher than the back of a tumor-ridden toad.
And Season 2 tries too hard to be poignant. It doesn't entirely fail, but it kind of wastes the novelty of the series to try and make some emotional messages that really aren't that original.
They aren't bad, but they don't have the nonstop flow that most of seasons 3-8 had.

You fucking retard, I bet you weren't even alive during the golden age

The writers openly admit that season1 is sort of a bkack sheep and that they didn't get themselves figured out till halfway through season 2.

Tracey Ullman era & Seasno 1 - classic
Season 2 & 3 - transitional
The rest - neo

The roughness is part of the charm imo
And the first 2 seasons were when The Simpson's best worked as a parody of garbage prime-time sitcoms, with episodes like The Telltale Head, and There's No Disgrace Like Homeand the fantastic satire of TV culture that was Krusty gets Busted.
The later seasons may be slicker and funnier, but Season 1 has a lot of merit by itself in how it achieves what it set out to do- to bring an alternative sensibility to a genre in which fucking Alf was considered edgy

>implying you were watching Simpsons season 1 premiere on TV, not a rerun
Being born in 91 doesn't make you a veteran, fuckboy.

First season is a bit rough but still worth watching. Second season is kino.

First two seasons is them trying to figure out what they want with the simpsons and do a lot of experimentation with character. By season 3 they have a good idea about character and the golden age began.

wow

Season 1 sucked, season 2 it's still learning to walk.

I loved season 1 when it was new and shocking like every other kid. But yeah it just doesn't hold up compared to what it became.
