It's funny to go back and look at when the Simpsons peaked and when they started to go downhill.
I think they peaked during the two part (last episode of season 6, first episode of season 7) Who Shot Mr Burns story. They had the world by the balls then. After season 7 it started to dwindle, they still had some classics (You Only Move Twice is my favourite along with s4 Marge vs the Monrail) but the great episodes didn't come nearly as much after that.
I think I stopped watching the Simpsons with any regularity since 1999/2000.
They really do suck now, but at it's peak, it was some of the best writing television has ever seen. At it's peak it was the best.
