I lost interest. Too many shows starting this week and all the seasons gave kinda blended together.

This is not the type of show to run this long.

I haven't peeped the premiere yet. Maybe i will when im winding down after work on the internet

it's disgusting this show got 5 seasons and How to Make it in America got cancelled after two :camby:

Imma still watch but, it dont make sense to me

As far as the thread goes, they should be past the struggling stage

This is basically Entourage if Vin never blew up and kept failing

There are other ways to have conflict besides the same shyt they been feeding us for 5 years now...being the ceo of a major tech company should have tons of topics to write about

For me this might be my last season unless this season is just outright funny and shows me something new.

But when they start being successful does the show lose it's juice? (Or whatever juice it has left)

I remember liking it in real time, but I cannot remember a single thing about it or differentiate it from the other seasons.

That's because, I'm sure outta 4 entire seasons, 80% or more was shot in the living room of the Hacker Hostel. Every funny thing happens outside the house, but that's 20% or less of the show, so the rest just melds into a blob of "They tried, they failed, the tall one made a flat joke. They tried, they failed, the tall one made a flat joke"

I just finished Ep1 of S5 and while it's OK to watch, a chuckle here and there, there's literally no point to it now.

This show is an example of why I don't get when people shyt on network sitcoms - just because characters get to curse and you might see a titty, doesn't make it good.

Mom on CBS is better and funnier than this. Superstore on NBC is better and funnier than this. Brooklyn Nine-Nine is infinitely funnier than this.

It's not bad, but it isn't good. I'll keep watching, but that's just the completist in me.

This really should be the last year. shyt is just spinning its wheels. Mom is definitely better than this.

It didn't *feel* like a sitcom when it felt like they were going somewhere. But if it remains "one step forward/one step backward" then you have to admit that it has always been just a sitcom.
