The popularity is dwindling because they haven't made a good episode in 11 years. If this was any other show, it would have been cancelled by now (especially given last season's ratings).

The popularity of the good episodes hasn't dwindled. Look how much attention "Lisa's Wedding" got a few days back, just because it was Lisa's wedding date. No one will be doing anything like that for "Bart to the Future" or "Future-Drama"...
