>In 2004, Harry Shearer criticized what he perceived as the show's declining quality: "I rate the last three seasons as among the worst, so season four looks very good to me now."[38] Shearer has also been vocal about "The Principal and the Pauper" (season nine, 1997) one of the most controversial episodes of The Simpsons. Many fans and critics reacted negatively to the revelation that Principal Seymour Skinner, a recurring character since the first season, was an impostor. The episode has been criticized by both Shearer and Groening. In a 2001 interview, Shearer recalled that after reading the script, he told the writers, "That's so wrong.
The entire show fell apart after the greatest episode E-I E-I (Annoyed Grunt).

Why do people get so butthurt about the Principal and the Pauper? It's not as if the show had any continuity to begin with.

Because Skinner's character was based on a longstanding relationship he had with his mother. His character is a commentary on the cyclical nature of authoritarianism. Principal and the pauper destroyed this in 20 minutes for the sake of a cheap plot line.
David Ward
It ruined seasons worth of character building. It was the perfect indication that classic Simpsons was dead.
Anthony Stewart
but the episode itself is still funny and part of the golden age. It didnt really jump the shark and get truly terrible for a few years afterwards
Thomas Perry

anyone see the episode with michelle obama? she gave a speech at the school and literally everyone, including Nelson, was in tears with how much they loved her she said some Lisa-tier garbage about bullying or some shit and then she wanted to get in the helicopter, but couldn't because the door was stuck the 4 soldiers accompanying her couldn't budge it and then michelle did it with one hand and made a snarky remark watch one of the newer episodes and you'll be surprised how much hate you can have for some random cartoon
Tyler Lopez
That sounds god awful. I quit watching halfway through season 12, but always get depressed when seeing clips from the new seasons. I was wondering though, are there any episodes from the later seasons comparable to the early ones? I figure from 20 years worth of episodes a few must have been decent.
Adam Williams
surprisingly, no they might try to do some deeper/non-typical emotional episode but the charm is long gone not a single new episode is worth watching
Daniel Richardson
>character building Please. Skinner still acted the same way afterwards so it's not like his character was undermined. As Lisa said in that episode he's still the same person, we just learned more about who he was before he was the Skinner we know him as today.

The cast actually had pay cuts in 2011. They were receiving $400,000 per episode. Fox said "Make it $300,000 or we cancel the show"
Jose Phillips
>$300,000 Oh no, only $6600000 a year for less than 12 hours of recordings, in an entire season. How can they survive?

They could have kept it all if they had just called FOX's bluff. They don't have any replacement for the simpsons since everything McFarlane made after American Dad was unpopular as fuck
