The final nail in the coffin for The Simpsons was the episode "Kill the Alligator and Run" aired on 30th April 2000. Now, 20 years old, it signalled the diminishing quality of the show.

This episode was met with universally negative reception due to the plot of the main episode, and the Simpsons getting arrested multiple times and then banned in nearly all states. It is often cited as one of the worst episodes of the show. In 2006, Nohomers.net named this the worst episode in the history of the show. Some fans have asked for the events of this episode to be rendered non-canon.
One Redditor cites:
"Before today I had only seen bits of this episode. I always feared the day when I'd finally see it in full. Well, it happened. Since I'm currently watching the Season 11 boxset episodes, I decided to finally sit down and just watch it.
It. Is. Abominable.
I expected it to be bad, but not as bad as this. This episode is so inept that it left me frozen with disbelief. It's actually ten times worse than I feared. I had to stop the episode multiple times just to put my face in my hand. From the moment it starts to the moment it finally ends, there was not one funny joke, not one moment of joy, not one interesting line, not one memorable scene, not one aspect that engaged me. It's so devoid of anything of merit that it just feels like the writers took a bunch of unfinished scenes from unfinished episodes and smashed it together into a dead-on-arrival cake of failure. This is one of those that I can safely say is clearly non-canon.
I truly think this has to be the worst episode ever. It fails on every level. I'm sure that the majority of you guys agree, but if you happen to disagree, feel free to argue against my review of this episode."
