I think greed and laziness hurt the show more than anything else.
Back when the board was more active, I remember threads where people posted what they would have liked to have seen. There were also ideas for a final episode. A lot of those ideas were pretty darn good. As a matter of fact, I seem to recall there were enough good episode ideas from the posters, that season 8 could have been remake free. If a bunch of amateurs on a message board can have so many ideas, a group of writing pros should have even more. I don't think the well had run dry. I think if they had put more effort in to coming up with new stories instead of just remaking the same scripts, the final seasons would have been much better.
That being said, I am still thankful for all eight seasons.
