I found the cameos of Johnny Carson, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Midley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers season 4 finale "Krusty gets Cancelled" very good when it was broadcasted the first time.. I don't know if I should watch that episode again...

I saw that one recently. For a celebrity cameo episode, that one wasn't bad at all. It was an early season though, before celebrity cameos became the norm, so it doesn't just feel like yet another "The Simpsons meet......" episode.
 
But, you see, I have the will of the warrior. Therefore, the battle is already over. The winner? Me! Rematch? You lose again! Had enough? I thought so!
 
watching on cytube the one with Bart burning down the Christmas tree came on
I completely forgot about this episode. I remembered the first one and the one where Bart gets popped for shoplifting.
this was a pretty nice one
 
So, this year's Christmas special pissed me off. Who knew a spoof on shitty Hallmark films would feel like a shitty Hallmark film. No conflict, nothing heartwarming, so many stupid cliches........Disney can bring back the Kardashians but butcher the Simpsons. What's wrong with the world?
 
That Halloween episode where Lisa becomes a puss and the pop up shop workers menace Homer and Lisa in the house is on, Goddamn this episode was actually really good!
 
I swear, if you removed all the arguing about when zombie simpsons started and Sneed posting, this thread would only be like 5 pages long.
 
After rewatching a few seasons of older Simpsons and about a season of the newer shit it really does feel like 2 different shows. Like the difference between Teen Titans and Teen TItans GO! in terms of how the latter stuff feels nothing like the older stuff and feels almost like it's supposed to be a parody of The Simpsons. The cultural shift of the latter 2000s was not kind to this show.

The way I see it, the earlier seasons feel right in place with the era they debuted in, with its fertile animation and fast paced humor, and it felt like its own product. The later seasons appear to be the opposite, with the animation becoming more sterile and humor feeling a little more sluggish and unoriginal, like its trying to copy newer shows like Family Guy, and overall it doesn't feel like they belong in this period.

I think its good because of two reasons:
1. The celebrity cameos are secondary to the main story which is Krusty loses his show and makes a star-studded comeback. The main plot is funny on its own without the need for the cameos, at the end of the day they are garnish to Krustys story and Bart and Lisa trying to help him make a comeback after Gabbo ran him off the air.
2. The celebrities do something funny besides just get their asses kissed by the main cast. Bette Midlers environmental views are used for a gag where shes chasing down litterbugs on the freeway and throwing soda cans with enough force to blow up a car, while Hugh Hefner has his Playboy Bunnies working in a science lab to save the world. The writers remember that the show is a comedy where funny things happen, not a late night talk show where famous people come on to shill their latest movie.

The show went from influencing and satirizing pop-culture to chasing current trends and becoming nothing more than a commercial for pop-culture.
