![]() ![]() Well, tuck your pants into your socks, because we’re taking a look at the low points of this… less-than-impressive season. (Don’t worry, though, as the latter half of this list has some real trainwrecks.) They have noticeable flaws, but more than anything, I can only register a disquiet about them. Not that they avoid doing so in Season 12, but this time around, almost half of the episodes on this list are just… boring. A lot of the episodes on my Bottom 11 list for Season 11 appeared to actively provoke the viewer in one way or another. Season 12 is the rats scurrying out of the debris and running into Moe’s Tavern. If you want a more apt comparison? Season 9 was the show tipping. ![]() Yeah, it’s a minuscule difference, but it’s enough to get Season 12 over the line. In fact, I did the math – the average score I gave for Season 11 episodes was 4.14. Further, there were more moments of striking animation that Season 11 seemed to lack, even if the aura of the show feels stagnant overall. It also contains the best episode of the Scully era, another plus. For instance, this season doesn’t contain the show’s nadir, so that’s a plus. While the latter doesn’t improve in general for Season 12, there are small differences. On top of it, the majority of Season 11 episodes were “bad” at best and baffling at worst. Season 11 takes the dubious honor of “worst season ever” on the grounds that it dismantled and let rot everything that made the golden age of The Simpsons so iconic. That honor is really damning with faint praise. It is my honor to declare that Season 12 is actually… an improvement over The Simpsons season 11. Ladies and gentlemen, we are officially done with Season 11 of The Simpsons. Hello, and welcome to another edition of NOT ANOTHER TOP (X) LIST!Īnd today, we present this list with the last full-season retrospective that this blog will be doing of The Simpsons.
