To give a sense of “past the peak,” a lot of people put the “peak years” of the Simpsons ending prior to season 9.

Who Shot Mr. Burns is in season 6. The conclusion was the first episode of season 7.

I extend the tail of the “peak” a little further because I like episodes like “Pygmoelian” and “Kill the Alligator and Run” in season 11.

…The first movie was released around season 18.

When I saw the movie I found it a pleasant return to the funniness of previous seasons.

    The specific moment I noticed the series was in sharp decline was season 11, episode 13's Sadlesore Galactica, the with the racehorse Tenacious D. When the jockeys came out and sang like little elves, and the plot continued to follow that gag, it was a notably goofier tone than I'd noticed the series having prior to that. Sure enough, Zombie Simpsons soon followed.
