Simpsons Season 8 Ranked Best to Worst
Season Average 6.48/10-Good but a fairly noticeable dip in quality from season 7. Homer's Enemy is probably where the show jumped the shark (which is weird because the episode itself is brilliant) and one feels the effects next season. There are classic episodes here but I don't count season 8 as part of the golden age largely because there aren't as many great episodes as previous seasons plus there are more meh to bad episodes
