The shows from the first year(s?) had a different voice for Homer. Also he
was not nearly as dumb. Also Bart was merely an underachiever, whereas now
he is a pretty complex character. I don't think that there was the
homoeroticism between Br. Burns and Smithers--at least not so blatent.
All in all, I think the show is much more adult-humor oriented, and
self-reflexive. There are some episodes where I watch and I know they are a
spoof/tribute to other well-known texts (e.g. Cape Fear, Citizen Kane.)
I feel The Simpsons is probably one of the most intelligent shows on TV
these days.
