I felt exactly the same way.
Bumblebees disappointed me, but
The Last Resort was a huge turning point for the series, and
Muzzled! is simply briliant. I believe it's not only a matter of puzzles, though: gameplay in the first episode was significantly flatter. And those bugs really ought to be fixed!
However, I can't say that I agree with you: characters are clichéd, without a doubt, but they don't lack a certain degree of distinctiveness which was developed from episode to episode; and I personally found voice acting outstanding (but, I have to admit it, as a foreigner I'm a sucker for English accents ^^). I still prefer ol' Rabbit Dog/Bunnyman and SBCG4P, but that doesn't mean I won't have fond memories of this cheerful summer with W&G.
Oh, yeah, and - honestly - Mr. Paneer rules.
