On another note, I find it impossible to believe the earlier assertion that someone could only enjoy The Simpsons until 7 or 8 years old, because 90% of the best jokes on that show are subtle, ironic, intelligent, and you miss them if you blink; many of them include social and political subject matter that require some experience to put into context. There's no way an 8 year old kid is even going to catch most of those jokes, let alone comprehend them. I would be concerned whether someone who didn't find it interesting after eight years old is still not able to get those jokes today (not really an insult, since The Simpsons is the smartest show currently on television).

don't know if I missed something...but the only time I noticed 7 and 8 noticed in this thread was when I said that I thought seasons 7 and 8 were the best seasons...not the age of the people who like the show. But of course I could be overlooking something and being careless.
