Definitely… When anything goes on long enough you start to see the proverbial strings holding up the spaceship. I had trouble sleeping one night and ended up watching a bunch of Simpsons clips until I got tired again, and realized there’s a definite drop in writing quality that creeps in at about the same point where the art gets polished and consistent. I guess that’s where it went from being a new, clever show that skewered pop culture to becoming the establishment itself, like how if you hear the Stones these days you’re probably watching a car commercial.

Amen about the Simpsons. I don’t know quite what it was about the earlier episodes vs. today’s, but I totally agree with you here. Homer somehow seemed…more genuine back then, and the dialogue seemed more natural, witty, and smooth. Nowadays it all seems somehow contrived, and the plots seem to be trying too hard. Maybe it’s just that, of course, it’s a very old show now and you just can’t keep up that kind of energy forever.
