There's been too much talk about rake, hating pokerstars, and the games dying. We should all just watch some of the older seasons of the Simpsons. I swear I started watching some again because of old rebroadcasts on tv, but I don't remember them being so good/funny when I was a kid.

Some random clips for nostalgia:

Good resources:
http://www.nohomers.net/showthread.php?104889-NHC-Simpsons-R-amp-R-Poll-Averages (also pretty good site overall for checking episode ratings, info, etc)
http://www.wtso.cc/video/vic/eng/season_1?lang=en (I use this site to watch episodes - good for the lazy)

Some episodes off the top of my head if you want to get started:
-Season 2: One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish
-Season 2: Bart Gets An 'F'
-Season 2: Dead Putting Society
-Season 2: Lisa's Substitute
-Season 3: Bart the Lover
-Season 4: Homer the Heretic
-Season 6: Bart's Comet
-Season 6: Homer the Great
-Season 7: Homer the Smithers
-Season 7: King Size Homer
-Season 8: Mountain of Madness

For myself, most episodes involving Mr Burns, Homer, Homer+Lisa, Bart, or Moe being the main characters usually end up being pretty decent for the most part.

Yeah, season 4 has a lot of good stuff in it. Lisa the Beauty Queen, Itchy and Scratchy: The movie, and a lot of other episodes from other past seasons as well felt very similar to how King of the Hill built their episodes (which I also enjoyed a lot), at least that's how I felt when it came to episodes where they wanted to focus on Homer's relationship with his children, wife, or friends. They open up with a whacky opening scene, have a bit of focus towards building a character, and totally nail the ending moments of the episode (I think King of the Hill does the whole character's belief systems are challenged -> sudden insight/realization of something important near the end -> peaceful/chill ending fade-to-credits the best).
