What does 'the schizophrenic attitude the show had toward the well justified criticism' mean?

Hello everyone. Can you please help me understand this first sentence? Or make that more clear?

In another display of the schizophrenic attitude the show had toward the well justified criticism it has received, the episode ends with an admission of decline but couples it with a tease about the future. After the narrator says “So, whether choking their son or poking some fun, the Simpsons will keep on gagging for years to come”. That’s followed by a shot of the family in a television editing room looking at themselves on the video monitor in what turned out to be the story setup of the Season 12 finale. On the monitor, they say:

Marge: I can’t believe it, we won another contest!
Homer: The Simpsons are going to Delaware!
Lisa: I want to see Wilmington!
Bart: I want to visit a screen door factory!

That’s followed by Homer, standing in the editing room, saying “This’ll be the last season”. The editor solemnly nods...

...Sadly, the promise of the end in “Behind the Laughter” was just a tease, though Season 12 really did have an episode setup by Lisa declaring “The Simpsons are going to Delaware!”.
