It reminds me of the soap operas here in the UK. They are considered to be somewhat of an influence on their nation's culture, most of them have been running for a long time, and a fairly high number of people still watch them. But even quite a lot of those who still watch them say that they are "crap" or "not as good as they used to be" and so on. I guess the main difference is that the "classic era" of British soaps probably wasn't as great as "classic era" Simpsons, but whatever.
