I agree with that 100%. Homer went from being one of the best cartoon characters to one of the absolute worst. People complain that Bloo is too much of a jerk; well, at least he's funny and imaginative. Homer just SUCKS now.
There have been a few surprisingly good current episodes, but the majority of them just fall prey to the same tired formula, setup and jokes. I don't think they care, because it continues to draw in viewers and make lots o' money for FOX.
And it's not just The Simpsons. I remember the later
Dexter's Laboratory seasons not being anywhere near as good as the older ones, which I think was largely because creator Genndy Tartakovsky had little to do with them.
