That's been a huge complaint within the Simpsons fan community for several years now, and the current writing staff, etc., has been trying to gradually bringing it back to something closer to what it was before.
I still enjoy it immensely, but it is better to see less buffoonery and more heart. They used to do a brilliant job of walking that tightrope, and I think they can again.
