Yeah, yeah, go ahead and get all the "blasphemy!! loose butthole! That's a chop!"s out of your system now. Serious question.

Season 1 was unbelievably hysterical. It blew my mind how much I loved the show. Next season kept it rolling with more all-time classic episodes. Season 3 IMO kinda slipped a bit but still was must-watch TV. This season just kinda seemed...I don't know, boring. Outside of the Stan Halen episode (which I'd put as a top 5) it just kinda fell flat to me. Granted, I realize that a show like this based around the humor it's based on, with the main premise of them working in an office, there's only so much material. I'm just wondering how much longer they can go.

What do yall think? I'm not saying it sucks by any means, it's just fallen off. I'm curious as to how many more seasons they'll have.

I don't know about washed up, but it certainly has lost a bit

I watched the first couple of episodes of this season then kinda gave up

This seems to happen to a lot of comedies though, they lose their "freshness" or something after awhile. It happened to Sunny and The League as well.

Yeah. And I mean it's not like a Seinfeld or Arrested Development with smart as shite writing that can go on for years, let's be honest it's silly dumb guy humor. You can only milk that cow so long.

The first couple seasons are side splitting. I would absolutely suggest you start watching and just go as long as you feel. It's only 4 seasons and they aren't that long so it's not too big a committment.

I thought this season was funny but they used too much gross out humor this season it seemed like.

Adam has been in Baton Rouge this week. Saw him working out at Spectrum. He said he'd be back next month to film Pitch Perfect 2

This season was up and down for me. Some episodes were great all the way through, but others were just really boring with only a couple laughs.

I think, at this point, they need more time in between seasons to write. If they're using "filler" episodes in order to fulfill season requirements, the quality is going to really go down.

The past season was really funny but I do think the interest in the show has fallen way off.

It was a buzzed about show for awhile there but it seems like very few people talk about it anymore.

this season was definitely better than last season, but i agree its lost a step. i honestly think its because they are trying to branch out of the show as actors.

both adam and ders have a ton of other projects they are working on. they were pretty smart in that regard. they used workaholics asa launching off point and trying to branch out while they are relevant. they know workaholics can only go so far.

I lost interest after the 3rd season. For awhile I thought it was canceled.
