This is a pretty common feeling with shows that have been on for a while. Sometimes the writers try "new" things to avoid feeling like the show is stale, so to speak, and that doesn't translate well. Or writers come and go and some of the tone changes. That, and, as viewers and fans, we expect certain things, good and bad, that influence what we think of the show overall.

I wouldn't say the show has declined much, but I think it has some. But part of that feeling is me getting "used" to the show, so to speak.
