I'm not claiming you're subjective beyond any other person. I'm saying Fall 2004 was that good of season, since you're wondering how good series get forgotten. Because there were at least nine other series that were also at least an 8. Subjectivity pushes those 8s to 10s depending on personal preference.
It's certainly more well-known than half of the series that season. But it certainly doesn't leave the lasting impression that a revolver boob-reload does (and no, that series was not good but was present).
