Simpsons fans jumped the shark when they started believing that Conan was the integral part of the hilarity of the Simpsons.
He has some mythical standing as a superhero of Simpsons writing when in reality he only wrote on season 4 and IIRC only has ONE episode credited solely in his name and that was the monorail episode. And while that is a fantastic episode and I don't doubt that as a staff writer Conan helped create numerous awesome jokes, his arrival and then his departure, like a year and half later, had ZERO impact on the funniness of the show. Simpsons was funny for a couple of years before he got there and was funny for about 4 1/2 seasons after he left.
