E1 was pretty good. E2 and E3 not so much. Nixon? Really?

I mean it's the last season, so now would be the time to do it.

This is the same show that had Nadja and Gizmo boxed up and sent to Europe at the end of a season and then they were back like nothing had happened.

Gizmo takes out an entire theater of vampires in hand to hand combat.

Gizmo becomes a vampire and it’s reversed almost immediately and conveniently by killing Derek.

The Baron has been burnt to a crisp, buried, unearthed, regrown his body, been reburnt, and is now back to normal.

The show jumps the shark all of the time.

If the Jackoff Machine didn’t make you laugh this show isn’t for you.

I've enjoyed it and I hope they make more funny shows in the future.

Tbh, it has fallen off just a bit.

Hoping it rights the ship next episode.

It’s such a bonkers show anyway that “jumping the shark” is almost impossible. If it’s funny then it’s done its job.

People now always saying a show jumped the shark b/c they didn't like an episode or two is the actual jumping the shark here.

Internet User OP admits the 51st episode of a six-and-a-half year old, critically-acclaimed series is even now "pretty good," adds that it somehow falls off so severely in the next two episodes as to literally ruin the entire production.

Still gives those two episodes in question a non-committal review grade of 'meh.'

Spot on. I loved the experiments and love Lazlo's one liners

Show me where i said that. The third episode was cringe. Fat Colin Robinson from E1 was great though.

It must just be my style of humor, because I still find the writing (and especially Matt Berry's performance) hilarious.

I can see how some wouldn't care for it at all, but it's typically one of my most anticipated watches of the week.

i’m a fan but it’s not grounded humor. which is fine and not anything i expect from anything Matt Berry is in.
