Interesting post! I think this just goes to show that hitting all the points isn't enough to make a great show. You need something unique to your own voice if it's ever going to stand out.
It reminds me of a character design assignment I did in college. what I submitted was all "correct". Solid drawings, it rotated, I did the expressions that were asked of me. When I got a bad mark on it, I asked why and the instructor said that design was about more than being correct. He suggested if I took a look at those drawings in 6 months I would understand what he meant. I did, and he was right. It was missing the life.
