It may well be true that the last 10 years of The Simpsons falls short of the first 10, but that doesn't mean the series should have been put to sleep. If season 19 had been the first one the world ever saw, people would have raved about it. And to say the Simpsons is a "ripoff" of the Flintstones-- wrong. Hold your hand out so I can slap it with a ruler.
In fact, I have observed that, after episode quality started nose diving in season 10 and reached a terrible low of unfunniness around season 13 or 14, the last two or three seasons have been improved, even if the show will never reach the levels of greatness of its golden age between seasons 3 and 8. Or maybe I am getting desensitized.
