So when did the Simpsons start to suck?

To make things clear don't think I've just had this as a revelation, I haven't kept up with new episodes in years. As I m going through downloads of the show (I'm only back up through season 3 when it was still awesome) I'm trying to remember exactly when it was that the show started to become awful and a farce of itself. I'm thinking I remember it being sometime during Season 10 when it fell out of favor with me.

Anyway what do you all think? Has anyone actually been brave enough to look at new episodes? If so did the show manage to get any better, or is it still useless?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

BTW has anyone noticed the change in the VAs? Before they used to act their lines, but now it seems like they over-exaggerate every line, or are constantly mixing in sarcastic inflections. This is probably what annoys me the most. If the VA direction would return to normal some episodes would be more watchable than they are.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
