I'd be more inclined to put it down to a smaller cast, and writers who took it more 'seriously'.
I seem to recall an interview with Flint Dille where he basically says it was just a job, and quite a few recycled David Wise stories cropping up during the 80s.

Aw man, now I want to go watch the Agenda all over again and my DVDs are in another state...
