I think you're not remembering the amount of silliness on previous shows, let's analyze TNG S2:
Serious Episodes 59% (13 episodes)
Not Serious Episodes: 41% (9 episodes)
I think it's a good proportion of silly so far...
e: I made the same analysis for TNG S3, and I could only identify 3 silly episodes, so, I don't know. Take this with a grain of salt. Maybe SNW S4 is all business.
I don't think it's fair to call all those "not serious" just because they had some cheesy aspects, especially when in some cases it was just in the B plot.
yes, I agree that the "not serious" label is probably not that accurate, but they were written to have fun with the material, and I don't agree that any of them had the cheese in the B-plot. They were adventures, most of them, but also with a silly aspect that sits at the core of Trek.
I mean, I wish TNG was a little less silly too.
