I dunno, I'd say it was a gradual process. Once it got to like season 10/11 it changed into a different kind of show. The jokes and characters changed slightly and it was still fucking funny but after about 2 seasons of that it changed too much and really started to suck.
So yeah, I definitely see what you mean about it dropping about 4 years ago (almost exactly that long ago, now that I think about it) but I still think it was changing before that.
Anyway, the new episodes are pretty much unwatchable. There's maybe one or two laughs an episode and every now and then they ruin it by dragging out a joke for too long...Family guy can pull that off sometimes but the writers of the simpsons don't seem to know how. They just changed it too drastically and got shitty writers, I guess. Seriously...having homer turn into a gay minister and shit like that is just fucking stupid. It's dumbed down to ridiculous levels. They don't hint at otto being stoned anymore, they show him with a joint. They don't hint at patty being a dyke, they fucking make an episode about it.
Ugh!
