Why would you contract a company that's already failed to penetrate the market with one tv-show-to-game themed MMO already?

Maybe they poached all the best writers from their predecessors in their prime.  Seasons 3-7 of the Simpsons are razor sharp.   Futurama comes out and it falls off.

You can tell how awesome a song is by how many metal bands cover it.

Hey now, Sisters of Mercy is a great band.  Far more than one good song.   Their greatest hits album "slight case of overbombing" is almost universally awesome.

Nice to see some love for Breathe by Nickelback.  A lot of their later catalogue is pretty mediocre, but their first album was genuinely enjoyable.  I also quite like "one" by creed, despite not particularly liking the rest of their hits.
