FYI if you check the "Jump the Shark" site, "The Simpsons" is listed as one of the handful of shows that never jumped the shark.
While the Arman Tanzarian episode was crap, but one bad episode hardly means that the show had derailed. Every show has crappy episodes now and again, but "Simpsons" is the kind of show that manages to endure because the characters don't age, and because they hire some of the best writers in the industry. (The was a time when I thought I could never rewatch anything Seasons 8-13, but damn if I still don't watch 'em religiously on reruns.)
As for my Jump the Shark episode: X-Files, when they killed off Cigarette Smoking Man.
