My only retort to that is they knew Voltron is popular, they were "taking a chance" on Castlevania.

Considering that there have been Voltron remakes that have completely tanked before, they were arguably taking a chance on Voltron as well.

Hell, even the original Voltron only worked in the US as the 1st/Lion one. No one gave a shit about vehicle Voltron, and most people don't even KNOW about the third one.

I have said this many times already, but The Simpsons has gone downhill since Phil Hartman died.

He apparently voiced up to Season 10, and the show had already started to slide before that.

There will still good episodes in later seasons, but I'd say the cracks started to show as early as Season 7. Even counting me as an outlier, a lot of people would agree that Season 8 or 9 was the turning point. But even people who push the turning point to the later end of the curve tend to agree that you started noticing weaker episodes popping up even in the earlier seasons.

I think the real problem is that most TV shows tire out after a certain point (and doubly so sitcoms), but animation is the only medium where you can pretty much keep those actors there forever. Live-action sitcoms arguably almost always peak somewhere between seasons 3-5 and then progressively trail off until they're eventually mercy-killed.
