This *beep* fest lasted 3 seasons?
And then people complain about all the *beep* TV that gets produced?
Face it, Americans love *beep* so *beep* shows get made.
I think in the later seasons the show realised it was a joke and made fun of itself on a meta sort of level, which made it more watchable.
You really have to be able to dispel reality to enjoy the show.
Well, I'm all for suspending my expectations of reality with TV shows. But a movie or show that builds a certain setting based in real-world realities only works if you are able to depend on the reality being presented. It doesn't work where it's impossible to know everyone's motives and constantly change them. It was like everytime that show invited the audience to believe something, it pulled the rug right out from under you. So you could never come to accept anything the show proffers because once you do, it changes, sometimes so dramatically, that the audience can never settle in and digest what is happening.
It just makes you lose interest because there's no point in trying to predict anything or understand and answer any questions being raised by teh writers for that matter. Well any question other than, "I wonder if this guy is a follower or being honest."
So basically the writers knew that the audience was comprised of boneheads and just wrote whatever, even if they were drunk, knowing nobody would care
