The Armin Tamzarian episode was just another episode when I was a kid. Like it's not particularly good, I wasn't interested in the maudlin drama of it even as a kid, but to see grown fucking adults pull it out as "THIS IS WHERE MY CHILDHOOD SIMPSONS DIED" is absolutely ridiculous and it always has been. It's up there with grown-ass people complaining about Lisa being an SJW creator's pet who's always right. And shit like this is almost always from the American side of things too.

I came here to say basically this but IMHO it's actually a great episode with fantastic gags.

I see where people are pointing to this episode as the start of losing the "soul" of the characters, but I think it still handles the characters well.

The Alec Baldwin / Kim Basinger episode. For me, idk if it's the "Jumping the shark" episode, but it's one that I can point to that will highlight everything wrong what the Simpsons became. The quality of the jokes starts to tank. The characters lose so much charm, "Jerkass" Homer especially. But the major thing for me is the celebrity worship is so fucking cringe.
