Welcome to TheSimpsons, a community for discussing everything related to America's non-prehistoric cartoon family, The Simpsons!
Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"
To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.
But no, any Simpsons content is allowed in this community, although we do ask that you keep the shitposting over in !simpsonsshitposting@sh.itjust.works.

Guess the Episode "Rules"
- Post a screenshot from an episode of the Simpsons. Frinkiac being a popular source.
- If posting a GIF the file size should be less than 1MB, otherwise it may not be animated.
- Easy, a screenshot any who's seen the Simpsons would get.
- Medium, a screenshot that would take a moment for most people to get.
- Hard, a screenshot that someone only gets after you explain it to them.
- Genius at Work, a screenshot that makes someone go, "Yeah, that's from The Simpsons, the one where the family does the funny thing".
These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

I agree with the general decline but man every once in a while there is an episode that I can almost compare with the golden era. (Even if others disagree).
It's in the eye of the beholder. For me it's the pseudo realism of the feel of the storyline.
Pseudo since I still love the monorail episode and the escalator to nowhere.
Edit: also this chart ends early. There are several more seasons.
I'm with you. Sure the golden age is over, but I'm still a fan of the new episodes. They still make great jokes from time to time.
