Good, but how much longer can it last?

I used to watch this series with my family back in its early seasons and enjoyed it a lot.  But as time went on we drifted away from it because it was basically recycling the same old plot devices over and over again. Angels come to town.  There's a problem.  Angels investigate.  Everything is not as it seems at first.  Angels offer advice but are mostly ignored. Problem becomes screwed up even more.  Angels reveal themselves.  Everything works out.  End of episode.

The formula changes from time to time but that's the basic plot of many episodes.  For the first few seasons it worked because there were plenty of situations in which to apply it to, but now they're basically repeating the same stuff that we have already seen in the early seasons with only some minor changes.  Only every now and then does an episode come along that feels somewhat original.  I tuned in a few months ago and watched a couple of episodes.  On the whole, nothing has changed.

All up, likeable series, but can get pretty tiresome after a while if you're only watching it for entertainment value and not for spiritual comfort or something similar.
