C'mon Guys, No one wants to vote?
Okay, I'll make this fun, every week or so the season(s) with the least votes will be voted off.
Then we'll find out the best season voted by us.

Season 7. but season 2 is very underated, I think a lot of episodes have quite a unique tone, and even though I probably prefer the wackier s4-8 Its still very good and better than 3, which I think sufferd slightly from being in a kind of transitional middle ground because It didn't have the strong character writing or emotinal depth and satire of season 2 but it wasn't as funny as the 5 seasons that followed.

Season Four. That is just the season where the show really picked up. All the success that followed was stemming from what this season caused.
Speaking of success, what season had the burlesque house episode? I still use Bart's little song to help me spell "success." Don't know if the song is right, but the tune helps.

Season 5 is my favourite, despite the the feeling you had knowing the writers were running out of idea's for casul domestic story lines...

I don't think he is, its just clearly not the best season, by season 3/4 you could possibly argue saying it began getting too wacky (if your an idiot), but season 2 is clerly miles better.

I can't begin to say how wrong you are, Marky. Season one's problem wasn't the animation, it was the complete LACK OF jokes. I watch the episodes, thinking "That was supposed to be funny?" or "When is the show going to have a joke?"
I remember I watched a Season 1 marathon on Foxtel last year, since Channel Ten hasn't shown it in about 6 years here, and in all 13 episodes, I only recall myself laughing about 10 times in total.

Yeah, Now that I think of it, Season 1 didn't have very many jokes. Though I liked the Episodes 'Krusty Gets Busted', 'The Call Of The Simpsons' and 'The Crepes Of Wrath'.

I doesn't matter that it lacked jokes, it's got fantastic character writing which makes it just as gripping and entertaining as episodes chock full of jokes. It's also purer because it never deviates to accommodate cheap laughs...

He's right. I mean, I enjoy the sentimentality of The Simpsons just as much as anyone, but Season 1 is simply NOT VERY FUNNY. The show is primarily a comedy - a season NEEDS humour to be considered good, damnit.

And compared to just about any other show on television, season one was practically bursting at the seams with humor. Its just ever-so-slightly slower in pace then some of the other seasons (and considering a lot of the other seasons got too fast, that's not entirely a bad thing).
Yeah, it could be dry in spots (just like any other season), and the majority of the "classic era" (1-8) is funnier. It could also be a little uneven, with "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Homer's Odyssey" being pretty bad actually. But do people really not find episodes like Bart the General, Moaning Lisa, Krusty Gets Busted, and Life on the Fast Lane funny?
Come to think of it, I don't really get why people find season one to be so sentimental either. Its more sentimental then some of the seasons that frequently sacrifice the characters for timid laughs (like 10-12....or 5), but really there's only two or three really emotional episodes. A lot of them (Bart the General, Bart the Genius, There's No Disgrace Like Home, Crepes of Wrath, etc) were played primarily for laughs, and even the emotional ones never exactly stop the jokes for the emotion (well, I guess Life on the Fast Lane stalls the humor on a couple scenes).
