there's a hole in my heart as deep as a well for that poor little boy who's stuck halfway to hell.

in a sense i'd say yes. you could even say the same thing about the development of the characters: small, one-off moments for characters that brought big laughs were exaggerated until they were the norm and not the exception. in short, even the success of many of the comedic moments ultimately led to the destruction of what was the heart of the show.

If it's clear and yellow, you got juice there fella.
If it's tangy and brown, you're in CIDERTOWN.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I remember thinking awhile back which minor characters are going to get whole episodes based on them.
I know he isn't a resident of Springfield but at least Hank Scorpio has been kept away. I have a feeling if he ever comes back, it just won't be as good.

One of my favorite Simpsons quotes comes from this Episode.
Bart: (Looks into Milhouse's glasses to see reflection) *gasp* I'm a nerd!
Milhouse: (The opposite) *gasp* So am I!

Like when they nearly ruined the Frank Grimes thing by bringing him up more than once in subsequent episodes, and then even had an episode based around his son trying to take revenge?
Even some of the minor characters that would have made great single-episode jokes, such as the Crazy Cat Lady, were ruined by trying to make them regular characters and giving them a backstory. Even the longtime regular characters such as Moe have been ruined by overuse. There's no restraint in writing these characters anymore.

Its amazing how such a minor sound Homer made in one episode has become so rooted in common language.

McGarnigle: You gotta tell 'em what you saw, Billy.
Little Billy: But I'm scared, McGarnigle.
McGarnigle: Do it for me, Billy. For McGarnigle.
Little Billy: Okay... for you... McGarnigle.
[the scene changes]
Police Chief: Well McGarnigle. Billy is dead! They slit his throat from ear to ear!
McGarnigle: Hey! I'm tryin' to eat lunch here!
My favorite episode is the one where Bart cries wolf too many times. A Timberwolf shows up at the school and picks on Bart. Then Willie ends up beating the crap out of the Timberwolf.
Willie ends up saying something along the lines of
"Don't feel bad for losing wolfie, I was fighting wolves when you were at your mother's tit"
And in that same episode Home blames everything he does wrong on some guy name Tibor.
Great, great episode.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
One of my favorite moments; where Homer's like, "Awwwww but the little guy hasn't done anything yet!"refreshZ said:
And then they leave and you hear "WAAAAAAH" and Homer's starts groaning :lol

I love the animation of the camera swaying to the movement of the helicopter from this scene:
"This is hour fifty-seven of our live, 'round the clock coverage of the Simpson estate. Remember to tune in tonight at 8 o'clock for highlights of tonight's visual, including when the garbage man came, and when Marge put the cat outpossibly because it was harassed, we don't know."
Someone mentioned Hank Scorpio before; his maniacal laugh behind the flamethrower was really, really great, too.

"The Front" is my favorite episode, hands down.

Unbelievably classic.
Similar style with similar results: "I'll see to it you don't get apricot one."
