Agreed completely, although I would say that the decline began in Season 5. It's still a great show and I'll absolutely watch every episode, but they've become extremely dependent upon extreme charicatures of each character: Mac is a closeted gay man now (there really wasn't much indication of that in earlier seasons, outside of his interest in Carmen), Dennis is now just off-the-charts narcissistic and psychotic, etc, etc. It's something that happens in almost every show - this can be seen in The Office, Seinfeld and many other quality programs. The characters seem more and more unrealistic now and instead of consistently using cleverness in the writing, they just default to a character saying something really extreme that fits their charicature.

That said, I'm really excited for season 11 because, as I said, I still think it's a great show.
