I find Garcia's obssession with 'Earl' unhealthy now.
He needed to get over that. It last four seasons. He really began referencing it in the fourth season of THIS SHOW. He's had a successful career.

I kind of agree. At first I enjoyed the references, but the writers are kind of over doing it now. I like MNIE, but I got over its cancellation. Really it was better that it was cancelled, because by the end it was losing steam. Four seasons was a good run for it.
Also, it isn't like that cancellation killed his career. He has this show and two pilots in development at CBS. So it appears like he is doing all right.
On another note, I wonder if he will reference this show like his does Earl in the future. There is a good chance that season four of RH will be its last, so he could possible make this his new Earl in his next series.
I dont see it that way. I think MNIE should've had a fifth and final season. I think it was robbed of a proper ending. My thinking is, if a show is on the decline, that's fine, but instead of cancellation, it is always better to go out with a bang. We didn't get that with MNIE, so for that reason, I love seeing the references in RH. The reunion episode of RH was brilliant and was great to see the cast back together. As a fan, I felt like we needed some closure. The references in RH help with that.
I don't follow the politics behind the scenes usually, so I'm not sure exactly where things stand, but RH was just renewed for a 4th season, and I don't see any mention of it being the final season from anyone official, so I don't see how there's a good chance it'll be the last. I feel like there's a bigger following for RH than MNIE and I'd like to see RH go on for at least a few more seasons. I feel like at least 5 would be good, but I'd love 6 or 7 I think. I know that's thinking extremely long term in this industry, but I don't think it's out of reach with this series.
But maybe I'm just fond of this series because it's 1 of only 3 sitcoms I watch (Modern Family and Big Bang Theory being the other 2). I feel like there just isn't much quality programming anymore, and I'm maybe putting too much stock into RH, but I really want it to succeed and for the writing to stay top notch like it is. Hopefully it will receive the respect it deserves from the bigwigs and be around for a while longer, as well as having a proper send off once it's run its course.
