Everyone agrees The Simpsons is past its prime, even though it would be crazy to expect Season-4 quality to last for over 30 years. The only true question is whether this classic TV show is still worth watching. I say 'yes', because it's still funnier than anything else on TV. But one day, that slow and steady decline in episode quality (notwithstanding the underwhelming first season, which is the exception that proves the rule) will change that equation. Unfortunately, the clunkers are getting more frequent (as shown by our negative Season-Quality Correlation).
