I don't think of this show as one where people only like what they saw when they were a kid.

I've never seen trends like that, but I suspect this sort of thing is why there are always fans who insist the newest seasons in particular are an improvement. It's super rare to see people defending any specific post-classic seasons except for the newest ones, which are always considered the best of the post-classic era. The way this pattern has held for 20 or so years makes me think this is the Simpsons equivalent of "the best ___ is what you grew up with".
