I'm sorry, but anybody who thinks the current episodes are "great" don't have the taste to appreciate the comedic genius that made The Simpsons, in their prime, so classic. The writing used to be extremely clever and witty, not the stupid slapstick humor and "look at stupid Homer do stupid things!" 'comedy' that the Simpsons consists of these days. If the show always had the kind of comedy it does now, it would've never taken off. And it's not just the bad writing, it's the (most of the time) stupid plots and absolutely aweful dialogue timing.
Oh and I agree with adboy. Lots of the episodes start off fairly well, but then either go really nutty or plain downhill.

The great thing is, the Simpsons satirizes this with their Comic Guy character...I wonder if you noticed.

Yes I have noticed the Comic Guy's stupidest episode t-shirt before.
