Don't really know why they feel they need to do another season, it could've/should've ended just there.

I hope there will be a spinoff based on the adventures of crazy/screaming guy, it'll be awesome.

I don't care if you're joking.. feck you for putting that idea out there.
I'm not joking, he's my favourite character ever. I hope in the spinoff he meets Daenerys Targaryen and they just go round freeing slaves and screaming at people. Just him and Dany, Alock. The outside world will be their enemy, Alock. They're the only friends they've got, Alock. It’s just Dany & Screamy. Dany & Screamy and their adventures, Alock. Dany & Screamy forever and forever. 100 years, Dany & Screamy’s things. Dany & Screamy running around, and Dany & Screamy time. All day long forever. All a hundred days. Dany & Screamy forever a hundred times. Over and over, danyandscreamyadventures.com. www.danyandscreamy.com. www.danyandscreamyadventures. All 100 years every minute, danyandscreamy.com. www.100danyandscreamy.com.

Seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best American comedy ever imo, 4 and 5 are still great too but not quite as good.

Sunny is better for me but it's close. Two very different comedies though.

Parks & Rec improved massively when...

Mark left. What an awful character he was.

Absolutely agree. I also wasn't that sure about Rob Lowe and Adam Scott's characters when they came into it but they turn out to be some of the best characters in the show. Ron Swanson on snake juice has to be one of the greatest sights ever witnessed on television.

I recently re-watched some of season 2-5 and I do agree -

He was a painfully average character and was quite annoying as well IMO. You can only work the whole 'look at me, I'm awkward' schtick for so long. He did have a couple of good moments though - announcing to an unknowing Jerry that he was an orphan was absolutely fantastic

Seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best American comedy ever imo, 4 and 5 are still great too but not quite as good.
I would lengthen it to Seasons 2-4 as being some of the best ever. From 5 onwards it tailed slightly - but still brilliant and pretty hilarious. I think they should have ended it after the season that has just finished, but I am looking forward to the final season.

Started watching this as i've got a week off and some time to kill. Thought the first couple were pretty good. Was going to keep watching anyway but glad to see the consensus is that it improves hugely as it goes on. Arrested Development was similar, although i thought the first episode of that was pretty poor.

It gets so, so, SO much better from early season 2 onwards. I don't know anyone who's made it that far and then didn't love it from that point on. Stick with it.

Obviously with any show it's going to need a while to establish things, get into its stride etc so i was going to give it the first 6 at least. Glad to hear it though!

Just wait for the gay penguins and then you'll love it.

It's more than that. Some characters radically change personality or traits by the beginning of season 2, as they were pretty shit in season 1. Agree it definitely hits full stride by then, season 1 is meh. If you more or less enjoyed it, you're gonna love what comes next.

The guest appearance towards the end of the first new episode, how random was that?

Second episode was a lot better.

Was that John Hamm early on in the first episode?! Yet to watch the second ep but does anyone know if he is recurring this season?

Also, is that shouty shouting shouter shouterson guy back? Cause that character annoyed the life out of me last season. There was nothing redeeming about him at all, ever. He wasn't funny and it wasn't even like the reactions or people playing off him was ever funny.

He's not.

Anyway, thought the first episode was great, the second really wasn't. Recurring theme of the new episodes though, it's hit and miss.

I'm glad it's finishing this season, it's definitely past it's best.

That shouty guy was the worst character on the show.

I enjoyed both very much, but it's definitely had its time now. Love that we'll be getting two episodes a week. Can't wait to see Bobby Newport and Jean Ralphio
