I get where OP is coming from overall, but that's kinda been Futurama's thing. Other places it's shoe horned in and lazy but that's been like half of Futurama's episodes (and the vast majority of South Park) since the beginning.
That being said, I do think the quality of TV has been going downhill for years and few things seem to really be original anymore.
It's the "Seinfeld isn't funny" problem. If you're the pioneer for something and it is lazily copied by everyone, the new ideas you had back in the day seem stale.
