First 8 are generally recognized as I understand it maybe 9 unsure how much us nostalgia influenced vs it got stale writing for characters especially homer started to change US society started to change etc.
The writers' general consensus is that the "Golden Age," ended with season 9, episode 2, "The Principal and the Pauper." I'm not sure if they believe the episode itself to be a part of the Golden Age or not, but I think its a pretty good episode.
Don't make me tap judge snyder
Fun fact, this episode is considered non-cannon, which is extremely rare for a non-anthology episode. Even, "You Only Move Twice," is considered cannon. In the Simpsons universe, the "Armin Tanzarian," thing never really happened, but Hank Scorpio took over the East Coast for an unspecified period of time.
Cannon, eh? ~Scorpion,~ ~eh?~
Cannons'r'Us, that's on Third!
joking aside, i have designs for a business hammock that have been sitting in my back pocket ever since we lost the East Coast
