No way!!! 
The books are changing certainly, but they're not getting worse,
not by a long shot. The characters are getting  a deeper background
and have more opportunity for humour rather than just one liner laughs
Reaper Man was one of my favorite of the lot, and when I go back 
to reading Colour of Magic, although I enjoy it, I find mysew\lf
missing something from the story.

>I think Good Omens was VERY good though...
Definately. Neil Gaiman's black humour was perfectly balanced by
TP's more optimistic outlook, to make a really funny book.
Besides a day's not complete unless you take the piss out of 
a religion/religous person at least once.
