Season 6 has been dissapointing for me to say the least, although apparently some people are enjoying it. Last night's episode was decent.
I think the episode a couple of weeks ago really epitomizes the fall of the show, when they just showed clips of all old shows. That's how you know your writers are running out of material!
I've seen the first 5 seasons 2x+, and sometimes watch them now and there are a lot more laughs than in season 6.

I guess I haven't watched the show as much as you have, but it seemed that over the last couple of years they kept trying the same storylines over and over again (Michael's awkward meetings, retreats/functions in off-site locales). Also they frequently had 1 hour episodes which just dragged out the storylines and did not add any quality to the show. It seemed like they were filling time for the sake of the network, not the sake of the show.
This season they've changed up the storyline with the sale of Dunder Mifflin and the impacts of that. They have also "re-invigorated" some of the side characters. All while keeping to the basic 30 minute format that sitcoms are suited for.
Oh, to have time to watch an entire television series twice! Must be nice.
