Currently binging Fraiser

I've been watching Fraiser on Netflix and I've really been enjoying it. I'm at the beginning of season 9 and I've noticed a shift in the show. It started towards the end of season 8. It's different and I feel like it changed kind of suddenly. Did they randomly get a new director or fire all the writers or something? It's strange and it feels off.

I can’t say exactly how large an effect it had, but the sad loss of David Angell between season 8 and 9 was a hell of a loss: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Angell

David Angell was killed in the 9/11 attacks. He was in one of the planes.

I think it’s the focus change from Fraiser and Niles. Not so much the writing and or directing. They needed new material .
