Ancient Silurian: I don't know. Did you see the one I (the adder of that example) saw, where they spend six episodes in the Temple before splitting into two camps that just sit around and do nothing (outside of the grand two characters that go over to Widmore) until Ilana blows up? Where half of every episode is dedicated to not developing the characters or plot but instead forcing us through a device solely designed to make us all nostalgic for earlier seasons? Because that's the season 6 I remember.

You Could Always Edit It Yourself.

...because it's not "Jump The Shark but you're allowed to add examples". You have to point a specific point.

Oh, right, I deleted it. My point still stands though. It has to be a season.

Heh, I actually enjoyed Season 11, every single episode of it. I particularly liked "Brother's Little Helper," though it shares a premise with the South Park episode "Timmy 2000."

I wonder what that makes me...I guess it's because I enjoy both Old Simpsons and New Simpsons, so to me, this was more of a best of both worlds.

I enjoyed the Mike Scully run,well the early run which actually was a Golden Age like the rest and if you hate 9 and 10,you've been spoiled by 7 and 8. Seriously though with episodes like "Viva Ned Flanders" "Bart the Mother", "The Cartridge Family", "The Two Nashimpaletons" (The one where Apu gets married), "This Little Wiggy", "Sunday,Cruddy Sunday", and only "Lisa the Simpsons" to counter all of this,it's hard to call anything before Season 11 bad.

And even Season 11 had some shiners,no Mike Scully shouldn't be blamed,Al Jean should for Seasons 15-19 with garbage like "Million Dollar Abie", "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister", "Tis the Fifteenth Season" and "Co-Dependents Day" where Homer was bigger Jerkass than anything before. At least Jerkass Homer was funny,The Wesley Lisa is by far a greater Jerkass than Homer ever was.

Nope I'll take Seasons 9,10,11,and 12 well before accepting boring,tasteless,Soapbox Sadie ridden Al-Jean w/out Mike Reiss episodes where Lisa is the hero,Jean said so himself Lisa is his favorite to write for and it shows.

Season 11 beats 15 by a longshot

Season 11 was a Love It or Hate It Season,not Seasonal Rot.Al Jean however after taking the helm again pretty much took everything from the bad Scully episodes and made them worse. Homer is no longer smart enough to be the Jerkass he was in Season 11,Marge has become Not So Above It All,and Bart lost the compassion he had in "Bart the Mother",and worst of all they all became Lisa-centered

I mean what's the worst Scully episode "It's a Mad Mad Marge"? "Kill the Alligator and Run"? "Homer vs Dignity"? At least I could laugh at far the series has fallen in those episodes with the heavy gags. The worst Jean episode since his return would be "Love is Many A Strangled Thing",close with "Million Dollar Abie", "On a Clear Day I Can't See My Sister", and Little Girl in the Big Ten"

Finally the only decent Al Jean episode of Season 13 is "Blame it On Lisa". Also the person who ranted about Homer and New York,The Prinicipal and Pauper,those AREN'T MIKE SCULLY. That's right even the people who did 7 and 8 are flawed to

And no Mike Scully's run isn't my favorite
