as someone who has watched for the last 25 years (since i was 6) the last season was actually a marked improvement in quality NOT a return to the quality of the 90's (or even 15 years ago) but a welcome improvement

The consensus seems to be that the show dipped during it’s eighth season. The plotlines were becoming silly and extravagant: Homer in space, fighting a heavyweight boxer, Maggie shooting Mr. Burns, etc. I don’t recollect if these were all from the same season, though.
My own fandom started early in the series’ life, circa 1990. It’s a peculiar thing: our household didn’t have satellite television, yet I was obsessed: Bart t-shirts, lunchboxes, toys, etc. Bart really was the star in the beginning. My parents would rent the very-early VHS releases. The show wouldn’t air on terrestrial television until 1996, when the BBC bought the rights to air season one.
