I assume you're referring to the link on the main index page, and if so I agree.

It absolutely is.

Even if we agreed there isn't a huge decrease in quality after season 10 (hell, I think it already starts getting bad in season 9), expanding the tournament all the way up to S14 would make it too long and unwieldy. S10 is a good cutoff point.

Oh yeah, I wasn't really suggesting we make the tournament larger. I was just pushing back against the notion that it turns to shit so soon.

good job

just start these now

looks like round 1 will take 22 days, so everyone settle in...

If it is a matchup I don't feel strongly about one way or the other, my vote is for sale.

Outside of regular guest appearances (like Phil Hartman), I'm beginning to realize that I'm just not a fan of any episode with one-off actors or musicians. It's probably why I really don't like anything after 2000.

This is already my favorite tournament ever. I'm already itching for more match-ups!

Side question: How often do you guys watch The Simpsons?

I only watch re-runs on FX, and usually nothing past seasons 11 or 12. So about once a week.

I also have gotten in the habit of watching FXX reruns, which I'm not happy about, considering the episodes are cropped and edited. Some of the editing has gotten really egregious, too - they are cutting some of my favorite jokes.

However, it makes it much more convenient than rifling through my DVDs. I usually watch a few episodes every day.

I still think that this is the most egregious scene cut:

heh, I never noticed that. I occasionally watch eps on FXX too. Any examples of some scenes they've cut out?
