The episodes after Niles and Daphne just weren't as good as the ones pre-Season 8, for several reasons.
*The original writers (such as Joe Keenan) had left the series. Also, David Angell died in the 9/11 attacks and Dan O'Shannon took over as the producer.
*Daphne lost her charm and became more of a bitch. The subplot with her going to fat camp (when Jane Leeves was pregnant) was too unrealistic as well.
*The jokes to be had with Niles chasing after Daphne were gone.
