What's the point of this text? I don't understand. What do you think?

Twice in Season 10 Homer falls out of the sky. The first time he crashes through a skylight and lands in bed with movie stars; the second time he falls out of a plane and gets dragged through a field of rose bushes before landing at Marge’s feet, bleeding and broken. A program that once showcased the whole family and an entire city of supporting characters became the kind of one trick showbiz pony it had satirized so brutally in Season 5’s “Bart Gets Famous”. The Season 10 writing staff, largely untested and less experienced than at any point in the show’s history, was increasingly leaning on Dan Castellaneta’s ability to scream.

To me, the fact that he falls out of the sky twice in one season doesn't in itself seem a very strong justification for the criticism that follows. I'm not certain what kind of answer you are looking for, but this is my main impression of the text.

It may have some more significant point within the entire article you're reading, but as it stands it seems to me just a rambling set of observations about 'The Simpsons', Season 10, which the author finds inferior to other seasons of the same show.
