...is actually really good so far. Excluding The Winter of Our Monetized Content, I have enjoyed every single episode and most of them have been simply marvelous and some of the best "2010s era" episodes. The show kind of feels like it's getting a little better, because I thought season 30 was surprisingly decent, and a lot better than the 29th season, which is the only season from the show I think is bad. Back to season 31, it's been surprising me lately. Go Big or Go Homer and The Fat Blue Line were simply hilarious and had cool stories, the Treehouse of Horror special was very solid and a fun ride, Gorillas on the Mast had a really good story and jokes, Marge the Lumberjille was a glorious episode with another really cool story and gags, but also a great one off character. Livin' La Pura Vida is my favorite episode of the season so far. I love the story to death, the setting is fantastic, I love the jokes, I love Patty's new girlfriend, the jokes are awesome, and the twist is pretty surprising. Thanksgiving of Horror is BRILLIANT. I adore each and every segment in the episode. They're all so creative and funny, and I'll even go as far as saying it's better than Bart vs. Thanksgiving. Todd, Todd, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? is also very excellent. We have NEVER gotten an episode centered around Rodd or Todd, and this episode didn't disappoint me. This is one of the funniest episodes of the season, it has a great story, and I loved the scenes in Heaven. I love this season a lot. I wouldn't say it's as good as seasons 1-10 and 12-21, but it is better than season 11 and most modern Simpsons seasons. These are my ratings for the season so far.

The median is Marge the Lumberjill, an episode I rated Superb (18/20), which means that rating is the median.

As much as I love this season, I don't think it deserves a near perfect rating, as some episodes (even the amazing ones) can be kind of bland at moments and this season's humor is nowhere near as good as the golden age's, or even seasons 11-21. This season is filled with amazing and great episodes, but they are worthless when compared to other episodes of the series. So yeah, this season is a Divine (16/20). This post will be updated consistently until the season finishes airing.
