I think many many episodes of the simpsons are still good. It's just good in a different way. Don't get me wrong, there have been some horrible shows, but I'm actually surprised by how clever and consistent a lot of the writing is. It just feels like.. every episode will have a few cool moments, whereas previously every moment of every episode was awesome. Even the older seasons had some lesser episodes -- it feels like the new ones are the lesser episodes of old seasons.
Subpar Simpsons still entertains me. But it's hardly must watch tv.
