the simpsons at its best

Recently, The Simpsons won a best sitcom bracket.

And I put it in my top 5 sitcoms ever.

So I was thinking about it and specifically what it's prime was. A quick google search shows that conventional wisdom paints their best seasons as seasons 4 through 8, with 9 marking a different producer and shift in quality.

I thought one way to analyze it would be to go through a list of favorite quotes/moments and see what seasons they were.

steamed hams/aurora borealis: Season 7

lie detector test blows up: Season 8

moe hot date/sears catalog: Season 7

bart's room/dumpster: Season 7

onion style of the time: Season 4

lisa the vegetarian: Season 7

misses old glasses: Season 6

hank scorpio: Season 8

i was saying boo-urns: Season 6

everything's coming up milhouse: Season 10

free frogurt: Season 4

introduction of disco stu: Season 7

introduction of gil: Season 9

bort license plate: Season 6

anything with lionel hutz: Seasons 2-8

soccer game: Season 9

sideshow bob macgyver mystery: Season 3

So apparently Season 7 is the best ever.
