It's a problem in Family Guy and The Simpsons too. I don't know why this has been a trend in Fox Cartoons. They use to not have this problem. The sounds are lifeless now. American Dad never had this problem probably because they moved to TBS before this weird sound change. Something weird is going on at Fox.
Watch a new episode then watch an old episode and you should be able to feel the painful unfun slow pace and soulless audio.
If you can't feel it don't worry. It might be a thing only some people can detect.
Also, the show use to have a 4 act structure and now it feels more like 2. That might be contributing to the drag. As for the personality changes. Gene used to just be a weird kid who was a bit of a mommas boy. But now he is really gay and super whiny and he acts like a special needs child and Bob talks really softly to him, like how you do with a special needs kid.
There is a Halloween episode where Gene does a little song and dance number about people putting candy in his bum. There's this Thanksgiving episode where Gene eats old food and gets sick and finds makeup in a trash can and puts it on. There is an episode where Gene has momy spa day every week. But Linda starts going to a businesswoman club during their spa time. So Bob does the spa thing with Gene and it's super gay and unsettling. You have to see it. I could go on and on. Bab doesn't get mad anymore. He just sighs and goes along with whatever his insane wife and children want. Bob used to have some Hank energy and now he is a pussy who literally complains about how weak he is every time he tries to lift anything and he broke his hand punching a pillow trying to teach his daughter how to fight.
