The Simpsons (post-Golden Age, alternate version)

As we all know, The Simpsons started a revolution for being the first adult animated series on network television, eventually spawning a massive franchise and inspiring other creators to create their own shows like Beavis and Butt-Head, South Park, Family Guy or Rick and Morty. However, at a certain point, the series started to decline in quality with some characters changing to worse and plots becoming more tiring and unimaginative. Most agree the turning point was after Phil Hartman's murder and sister series Futurama ' s premiere. But what if the show managed to keep rather fresh after the Golden Age and managed to keep some of the quality humor it had during its Golden Age?

List of changes

 * While still rather oafish, Homer would be less of a jerkass.
 * Bart would not be used as a sympathy bait.
 * Lisa will be changed to be less of a SJW and used more often as a positive role model.
 * Flanders' religious fanatism is taken off.
 * Moe's suicidal thoughts and obsession with Marge are removed as well.
 * Burns' evil side will have more focus than his old age.
 * Celebrity and trends cash-ins would be removed unless the celebrity episode has purpose.
 * Political plots would avoid any bias, considering Democrats and Republicans would be equally mocked, independent of who'd be the President at the time.
 * Treehouse of Horror attempts to tell more original stories again instead of countless horror movie and TV shows spoofs.
 * Kang and Kodos would have larger roles rather than just reduced to cameos depending of the plot.
 * The controversial death of Maude Flanders never happens.
 * Considering Flanders never married Edna since Maude is still alive, the 4th grade teacher's role is assumed by Principal Skinner instead after her death.
 * Although Homer vs. Dignity was kept, the episode was slightly rewritten to not be completely sadistic towards Homer.
 * The infamous Family Guy crossover episode still happened, although as a The Simpsons episode, keeping the characters loyal to how are they're portrayed at the series and [likely keeping tamer Stewie, but making Peter how he was before becoming a retard and Brian more of the voice of the reason]
 * The Futurama crossover episode happens during the show's original run on Fox rather after the show's second cancellation.
 * After Phil Hartman's murder, the crew opted to go the same way they went with Futurama by using Billy West, who replaced him as Zapp Brannigan when the series started, as Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure.
 * However, unlike Hartman, he's credited as a supporting cast member rather than a guest star.
 * The HD opening introduced in Season 20 would remain mostly the same, although slightly modified to feature Lionel Hutz, Troy McClure and some of the new characters while the sequence before the couch gag is the same as the previous opening.
 * New characters will be introduced, yet, like the old ones, they will mainly be used for comedy. Those would include:
 * Kitrina Davis, a beautiful and vain teenage girl who is part of an clique where people are TBD and becomes enamored with Bart, even if he's three years younger, as she tries to keep him as her "Barty-Warty" forever, even if he doesn't want to be with her. Voiced by Nancy Cartwright.
 * Gabriella Vasquez, a romantic but overdramatic Hispanic soap opera actress who is now playing a new damsel in distress in Krusty's show. Voiced by Tress MacNeille.
 * Darlene Spade, a lusty secretary to Mayor Quimby who has a crush on almost every adult guy she meets. Voiced by.
 * Lena Rulls, a tough lesbian bodyguard who often shows men that TBD. Voiced by Tress MacNeille.
 * Hiro, a serious Japanese new assistant to Fat Tony often gives long metaphors with no reason. Voiced by Harry Shearer.
 * Edwin Edwardson, a narcissistic bodybuilder who often brags about his insane exercise methods and even forces some men to try them. Voiced by Hank Azaria.
 * Jacques Resque, a French chef who owns a French restaurant and who Homer often tries to foil to eat there for free. Voiced by Harry Shearer.
 * Sofia Jefferson, the leader of a conservative group who TBD. Voiced by guest star Alyson Hannigan.
 * The series would end on Season 27, with a second movie being released a year later, allowing Fox to invest more in newer animated shows, keeping Bob's Burgers becoming its current flagship animated show as Family Guy would end in the same year with a film as well.
 * This also results on the Apu controversy not becoming that strong since the show would end up by then.
