The big turning point for me was when the guest celebrities were no longer characters on the show and just played themselves. Just small ads for celebrity du jour.

Celebrities are the worst part of any media.

I think I recall the Alex Baldwin and Kim Basinger being the first episode that pushed me off the Simpsons .. it felt like celebrity pandering or something and I just stopped watching

Absolutely. I was watching the series sequentially for the first time in ages and that episode stood out as a definite turning point. The celebrity appearances just got more frequent and more insufferable from then on.
