   I won't disagree the later seasons are more eh vs. the past seasons.   
   Especially up to sometime around season 11-14 when at least once in a while   
   there were good episodes, but that of course the episode quality didn't   
   compare to the first 10 seasons.    
   Still, I'm glad they are releasing the Simpsons seasons on DVD and BR again,   
   since there are occasional good episodes among those later seasons. If South   
   Park's later seasons still get DVD releases, it's only fair to also see them   
   for The Simpsons.
