Indeed but I’m questioning the scores themselves in S1 and S2. Put it this way, I didn’t think that those seasons were considered almost as good as most the next 8, I would have expected them to be mostly in the 6.8-7.2 range.
I’m glad you asked actually. Looking up any info is not easy. Apparently nelson TV ratings are really hard to look into these days. Even in that link I tried to follow the refrences for more info and hit a dead end pretty fast.
Also I find it interesting that they do match up with the IMDb numbers. Because your not wrong, the nostalgia is strong for those early seasons. Pretty cool is not unwarranted.
Uhm, the values are going up after a few seasons

They were amazing when they came out, which is when they were rated.
I don’t think that’s true though - these are the IMDb ratings, which remain open, and didn’t exist when the episodes came out.
It’s basically the same. Here’s info from the nelson TV ratings: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes
Fair enough. As I said at the start, it was just the impression I had - evidently not the case :-)
