Glad everybody agrees that Season 5 was the crushing blow to this show. The pace of it throughout the seasons though made you wonder if these writers thought the shyt would last 10 seasons. Then when they got the word that they had to wrap it up, they did like that funny meme with the dude throwing papers in the air saying "fukk it!"
I think what also killed this show was the whole Hollywood shyt having the neeeed to have love stories - i.e. Margaret, Billy Kent, etc. I hate that.
