No but I think its probably the absolute last season I would consider "Golden era". I think the consistency isn´t high enough to be considered the greatest. I do have a couple of favourites from that season though. Girly Edition, Das Bus, Bart Star and King of the Hill are excellent.

I go with season 5 as the best. Season 9 is awesome as well, but it does have one of the few really big duds of the golden era "The Principal and The Pauper." Despite that misstep, Season 9 is the last great season. Season 10 and 11 are both strong, but they have their share of duds too, and aren't up to the shows previous standard. Season 12 is when it gets harder and harder to find great episodes, and then things fell apart from there.
