The Simpsons S2 ★★★★☆

After some early weirdness we are already into the golden era of The Simpsons as marked by a new intro sequence. It has been re-edited with established characters replacing background extras and is generally snappier, with better animation some sequences cut short to improve pacing. This stands in obvious contrast to the current era of the show, whose intro sequence is overstuffed both with even more cameos, extra shots that ruin the pacing and often with interminably long couch gags. Perhaps my preference is here just born of nostalgia and the version of the show that is comfortable and familiar, but I am rewatching the show for that comfort and familiarity.
