What the heck happened to this series?

If any episode illustrates the subject question well, it's this one. This is the kind of episode that would've been an AD all time great and is completely in their wheelhouse.
A Stand and Deliver parody has so much good potential material and this one just falls completely flat. It's occasionally chuckle-worthy but no laugh out loud moments to be had. We all grew up watching this schmaltzy classic either at school or during after school programming and it's well ingrained into the 90s kid psyche. There's plenty of touchstones and references to go on and the show basically makes no effort to hit them.
This has been a recurring theme since about the end of season 9 and it's heart breaking because it seemed like AD was one of the last great subversive mainstream animated comedies. I'm so bummed.
