I was still a kid regularly watching the show by s10/11 and I remember liking them, but I was turned off by season 13 or 14 or so. Post s8/9 things are definitely a bit uneven, but I think what's key is that for a few more years even the bad episodes have great lines/scenes scattered around. There's some later bits that made their way into pop culture relevance, but I think even those disappear entirely by like s14.

Ha, I had the 'Beyond Forever' book of this which was for S11-12. Loved reading it!

Al Jean became showrunner starting with Season 13 and he's been the showrunner ever since
This would certainly explain the severe and permanent drop off.

As someone who never watched the simpsons growing up but have started watching it periodically on Disney+, I cannot find any different between early and later seasons as far as enjoyability goes. I actually prefer the refined animation of the later seasons. Interesting to stumble upon this topic to find such solidarity that the early seasons were superior and anything after the low teens is presumably garbage? I just didn't get that take as a newbie watching random seasons out of order. I find them all enjoyable.
This is pretty fascinating, I don't think of this show as one where people only like what they saw when they were a kid. I haven't regularly watched it in a really long time but whenever I've caught one of the 'new' episodes I find them pretty bad. Maybe I'm conditioned to expect the worst as soon as I see the HD opening >_>
