nah man, even during the show's heyday there were some turkeys. Lisa centric episodes are usually weaker than say a bart or homer centric episode. and there are some really poor marge episodes.
I heard FXX's ratings have exploded since the marathon started. Personally it is the first time ever tuning into FXX despite watching all the previous seasons of Sunny and The League.

They got a ways to go for that. There are shows that have been on the air, with new episodes, for over 60 years. Simpsons are only at 25, right? Even if you discount sports, news and talk shows, some soap operas have been going for over 50 years with 10,000+ episodes.
Anyway, did they start with the true beginning? The Shorts from the Tracey Ulman show?
Some of my absolute favorite classic episodes are Lisa episodes. Lisa's Rival where she has to contend with a smarter, better saxaphonist. Summer of 4'2" where Lisa makes friends at the beach and Bart gets jealous. Lisa the Vegetarian where well...you know. Lisa's wedding where Lisa visits a fortune teller booth and asks about her future husband.
I can't say I agree with your statement.

lisa has a crush on her teacher, lisa goes to the museum, lisa goes to boot camp, lisa plays hockey, lisa is sad that she has bad genetics. lisa meets bleeding gums murphy, meets him again, etc. those arent all bad episodes, but they are not as strong as a typical homer or bart episode.

I dunno how you keep doing the show without Shearer. It would be like trying to do the show without that little woman. Yeardly Smith. Sure, she only does one voice... but she's an integral part of the entire thing.
I watch it still now and then. They're not as golden as they were, sure, but they still tend to be well put together and worth the 20 minutes. If it weren't for the 90's, you'd probably have a higher opinion of their recent work. It just makes it look worse than it actually is.
2010+ Simpsons still isn't bad.

This will probably be the start of the end for the show. Shame really, probably one of the best shows ever on TV, one of the most iconic.
From the AV Club:
UPDATE: Shearer has indeed left the show, with showrunner Al Jean confirming the news to Hitfix. Jean told the entertainment site that Shearer "was offered the same deal the rest of the cast accepted and passed. We wish him well but the show will go on," noting that Maggie Simpson, in particular, took it hard.
Jean also says characters voiced by Shearer will remain on the show, telling The New York Times that the show doesn't "plan to kill off characters like Burns and Flanders but will recast with the finest voiceover talent available."
