I actually like the first season of the Simpsons alot; I think they nailed the ethos of the humor almost from the start. The show did get more caustic by about 1992-93, arguably its peak. But the first season episodes were really pretty funny. They just needed time to develop their best characters, such as Mr. Burns and Krusty, who in my opinion always got the best lines (Conan O'Brien, once the head writer, said he most enjoyed writing Mr. Burns' lines, and he is also Harry Shearer's favorite character to play).
