I've been finding myself re-watching the early seasons of The Simpsons recently, and I was surprised by just how many of these episodes I remembered. There was quite a few of these episodes I hadn't really seen since the early '90s, and I was struck by how slower-paced, much less surreal and relatively undeveloped (character-wise) these episodes are in hindsight.

However, I still like this season, and I think its flaws only become apparent with hindsight - it was fine at the time!
The scene where Marge unplugs the TV just as Homer is finally going to defeat Bart at that boxing game is still as fucking funny to me as the first time I saw it. As is Bart receiving/testing out his spy camera, Homer screaming at Bart and Lisa "BE NORMAL! BE NORMAL!" at Burns' picnic while Marge gets drunk on punch (which now all seems strange to watch all these seasons later) - and, of course, "KWYJIBO" ...
