I read an interesting point of view once that explained that the Frank Grimes episode was the transition point from classic Simpsons to shitty Simpsons, and how that episode featured a sane real-life character who didn't belong in the Simpsons universe and could see through all the bullshit and incompetence of Springfield. From that moment on, we as the audience became Frank Grimes. Everything about Springfield started to become ridiculous and all the nonsense became more exaggerated, and from a Frank Grimes point of view you wonder how the show has kept going as strong as it did back in the good years.

Personally, I like season 9 and can tolerate season 10. I think I stopped at 14, finally, but everything from 11 on I consider a terrible spinoff of the Simpsons.
