It sucked I thought they tried to rely on references to old jokes too much...it can be good if done right but they made it shitty

I had to watch them all 5 times to get everything. Then I watched them in order and it was even better.

First 3 seasons were great. Fourth season was boring. Unfortunately left a bitter taste in my mouth now when I think about the series as a whole.

it was definitely confusing at times to remember where you were in the timeline and shite. arguing that would be silly. i thought it was awesome though.


Just because you're dumb and get confused easily doesn't mean others do too.

No I'm just a guy who can watch a show that's not in complete order and not get confused.

I didn't like the way it was done, most here will tell you that was done because it's just so damn genius and you just don't get it. The truth is, it was done that way to work around schedules. It was good, but not great. It lacked the full cast interactions, which is part of what made the show so great.

Still had the brilliant writing we came to expect from the show's first three seasons.

Not as LOL funny, but still enjoyable.

No, we all know it was done to get around their schedules

Thats what makes it brilliant. They wrote some amazing stuff blindfolded basically.

Except everyone said it was done this way because Mitch said it was done this way.

I thought they had a great balance of old nostalgic jokes and fresh jokes and mixing the two

It's always written for intellectuals and this season was no different. It weeded out the fans who actually "got it" and those that pretended they did just to be a part of the cool crowd. It rewarded those of us who do get it and were patient enough to wait for everything to unravel. And just like other seasons gets better with each additional viewing. I can't wait for the movie!
