I think I started disliking the Simpsons when they started slamming the fans who didn't like it inside the show itself. Now, the staff who make the show do you have a point: it is free entertainment. But when you start actively slamming those people who were your fans on the show itself, it shows a definite lack of class and taste. Sure, they had a right to be hurt and offended, but when you lash out like that on the show itself, you end up look like the jerk. And no matter how much the Simpsons may have improved, that still exists. Those episodes of the show show an utter contempt for some of their viewers.
And it's not hard to see that one of the reasons for this was that the Simpsons is now profitable to many people. Take a look at the beginning credits for the last five years....most of them are producers. Apparently the show is being used as a springboard for nearly anybody lucky enough to get some cred in Hollywood to do whatever they want animation wise or people are riding the fame train and getting some money off of it. Quite interesting.
