Conversely, perhaps those of us that fondly remember the earlier years should be isolated and studied so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you watched Simpsons starting at the 7h or 8th season, the mediocre half baked mess that's been on TV for the last 10 years may be more palatable. But if you grew up knowing the story of Barts 1st day of school and Homer explaining to Bart that women are like beer.... it's just difficult to see a great dynasty become so tarnished.
