> Previous scientific theories weren't proven wrong, just incomplete

That depends which ones you're talking about. Newton's theories were merely proven incomplete, and in ways that don't much impact macroscopic objects in everyday life.

There are other ideas, however, that have, after being held as unassailable truth by the entire educated world for centuries, turned out to be not merely incomplete but in fact totally dead wrong. The poster boy for this phenomenon is, of course, Aristotle, but it's been repeated many times over the last three millennia.

i'm 31 and i think of the shoplifting and bird shooting episode as later episodes. The first "premiere" of a simpsons ep i watched was cape feare. in the uk simpsons was only on sky(fox) satellite tv at the time so i had to get my simpsons fix from 8 hour VHS compilations my wealthy friend taped reruns from his satellite dish. i watched the first 3 seasons over and over until they were indelibly burned into my brain so i think of any later than that as "new" eps. Simpsons seemed to jump the shark around season 9 when i started downloading it from kazaa or bitorrent or whatever was around at the time. Since then it's been 1 really solid ep per season with another couple of semi decent ones and the rest are soulless shit. I suppose there was only so much character development they could do without aging the characters. Not sure why homer had to turn into a barely sentient retard though. All the characters turned into 1 dimensional parodies of themselves. Lazy writing i guess. Maybe they were scared of south park and family guy and tried to emulate the absurd characters in those shows.
