It's basically the same. Here's info from the nelson TV ratings: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Simpsons_episodes

Fair enough. As I said at the start, it was just the impression I had - evidently not the case :-)

I'm glad you asked actually. Looking up any info is not easy. Apparently nelson TV ratings are really hard to look into these days. Even in that link I tried to follow the refrences for more info and hit a dead end pretty fast.

Also I find it interesting that they do match up with the IMDb numbers. Because your not wrong, the nostalgia is strong for those early seasons. Pretty cool is not unwarranted.
