I'm humbled by your desire to try to fix up this messy article I created in good faith. :) I thought that while the topics it explored had good merit (and that perhaps the article was incorrectly named and should have been refocused), it was beyond help, so am intrigued to see where this leads. I think I am done with this article for now; I will probably continue to work on the individual episode articles though.--

I've been having a read of
Planet Simpson today just for the fun of it (I bought 3 Simpsons-related books on ebay a couple of years ago, plowed through John Ortved's book immediately, but never got onto the others until now), and have discovered some quite useful info for this article - The 3 Ages of the Simpsons (pg.35-43). I'm well aware you've probably read this book cover to cover multiple times, but just to give you the heads up this source is available if we need it.--

Most sources cite to 2012-13, there's probably newer writing on this topic, as well as a continued evolution of the show in the last decade. Its place within Fox’s, and subsequently Disney’s, stable of IP has also changed in ways that make some of these sources outdated.

Moreover, there's a further opinion that might merit its own section now: that the decline in quality was real, but has recently been stopped and even reversed. There are at least indications of that. Using the search string simpsons are good again I find, among others,
this article. I'm not a Simpsons connoisseur, though. --
