You are now responsible for turning around the Simpsons franchise and producing "better" episodes. You walk in to introduce yourself to the current team of writers in an all-hands-on-deck meeting. They didn't know you were taking over. This is their expression. What's your first salvo to save the Simpsons?

Homer creampies his butthole
Take footage of Burger Andy and rotoscope Burger Andy into Homer, also have Dan Castellaneta redub every line as Homer.
Cut yeardley smith's pay and lisa's screentime, stop the writers from making references to current things and have them focus on more timeless things to try and keep episodes from being so dated, only have julie cavner voicing patty and selma, drop rate of celebrity guests to once or twice a season, and go back to using bg music and musical stings.

You really need to go back and rewatch classic Simpsons.
There were a TON of contemporary references. The reason the references were better is because, in the best case scenario, they were still funny jokes even if you didn't get them.
Stab yeardley smith in the head twenty times, then dump her body into an acid river, make a simpsons episode where hank scorpio comes back and starts beating up lisa then an asteroid falls on top of her, everybody celebrates and led zeppelin show up and make a cool song, then i jump into a flying skateboard and ascent into heaven.
You aren't me, but you've got some good ideas.
I mean, if you really wanted to "fix" Lisa then you would have her see Paul McCartney get mauled to death by wild pigs
Euthanize Marge's voice actor.

You're all fired.
Selma's kid keeps aging up until she's the same age as Bart and then starts to make her move.
>Bart: But Ling, we can't. We're cousins. They outlawed that in this state two years ago.
>Ling: It is ok, Bart-san. I am adopted.
Age up the characters two years so that Maggie can actually do stuff, and make it obvious she’s started down the Bart path. Bart can get into more trouble. Only so much a ten year old can do. Keep the Lisa shit to a minimum. The funniest episodes were making fun of school or the power plant so make Bart and Homer the main characters.
Mini arcs of a few episodes. Nothing too long to not affect the cable rantings and not too tiresome but still engaging for the streaming people who binge. Less "canonical" too, so the writers have some more freedom to write the characters.
A serious flanders did pretty well because is kinda something like that, I would take the format and push it more to be something we experiment at least twice peer season and see how the fan reacts. I'm sure some execs would be agains't any status quo change because the history of the show with this sort of thing. But if we push for more less canonical things we could separate and add new life to the show without actually affecting the format it's already present today and leave it be if necessary without being to jarring.
I'm thinking to start a episode where lisa is slowly groomed and molested by this new friendly friend she met online. Is more serious and dark tone for something like this but we can light up using allegories instead of explicitly saying is about that. We can actually grow the character as a smart 8 year old but still a 8 year old, deal with things pertinent to the world of today without introducing new elements alien to the setting and old fans. And we can as far as to slowly age them up or deal with stories that go trough a longer period of time and were the time they take place also is pertinent for the story telling. Is engaging and with room for a lot of jokes and character moments that are not estale by exhaustion. I will probably will need to do some research and meta writing about the topic, tho. someone catch me a laptop and make me a roblox account *crack my knuckles* it's time to good old bad_daddy1997 go to back to the hunting grounds. For a good cause this time.
Have more Family Guy tier jokes
Fire Al Jean.
Hire a fresh-faced new showrunner who has a lot to prove.
Bring back Brad Bird and George Meyer as advisors/mentors.
Replace Julie Kavner.
Slowly start aging up the characters from season to season.
Always would have liked to see Homer and Marge switch roles, with Homer as house husband and Marge at the plant or maybe a different job. I would also explore Bart and Lisa's classmates' home lives more, like a Terri and Sherri episode
I haven't watched the entire show but there's no way those both haven't happened at least five times already.
I mean like permanently though, or at least for a season or 2
Also I would have Grandpa move into the house
