I'm familiar with the term.
I know, I wasn't attempting to explain that term, but rather, the reason I question liking The Simpson's when it is so over-blown, and, as you state below, contains guest celebrity appearances such as James Taylor and Jack Stripe. Sheesh. I was even tempted to use the celebrity guest appearances as another example, in contrast to the ones on Family Guy which are entirely humor based and not "Wow! Lookie look! We're the Simpson's! And we have guest celebrities even though we're just a cartoon, (ahem, the most successful cartoon in history)!" It is ridiculously self-congratulatory.
Deep Space Homer, the 'homer in outer space' episode has a bunch of funny moments, and I liked the James Taylor guest appearance. It definitely does not stand out in my memory as a bad episode. There were still four seasons left before it seriously started to wane in quality.
Season nine had episodes like The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson, and the one where carnies take over the Simpson house, those are classic episodes.
Season ten had the episode with Kim Bassinger and Alec Baldwin, cringe central.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong.
Aesthetic opinions aren't scientific anyway.
