All shows run their course. All shows start out as something new and fresh and eventually get stale and repetitive. Sitcoms have the same problem that movie sequels do.
Every show mentioned here so far started out great and eventually degenerated into "doing the same thing over and over to keep their fans happy". No sitcom I can think of has ever had characters who really evolve or change greatly. That's not why they're in business.
BBT has its fans and you can't deny its lifetime achievement. On the other hand, Vinny Testaverde played a lot of years in the NFL; doesn't mean he's one of the best QBs ever.
