The general consensus as to when The Simpsons dropped off in quality (although it is still up for debate) is after season nine. And while even the biggest Simpsons defectors have to be curious about the 1,000th episode, we still have to get to the 800th, which will arrive with the season’s 10th episode. So what keeps the team inspired even though many believe The Simpsons has seen the Worst. The trick is to tell stories that feel like they’re from a show that is not in its 37th season, right? And that’s why the premiere does that.”That takes care of the premiere, but what about The Simpsons’ 800th episode itself, no doubt the biggest of the season?
