Eh, I really disliked the direction of the third season, so at this point no big loss for me.

Not really surprised, seeing as how marijuana is not really as controversial nowadays as it used to be in the past.

I think I've had my fair share of stoner comedies over the years...

Half Baked (1998)
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)
Grandma's Boy (2006)
Pineapple Express (2008)


Just to name a few.

The difference is: if you took out the stoner references, would the show still be good? I give Deadbeat a yes on that point.

reply

I'm disappointed and would have liked to see if season 4 could get back on track

reply

Season 3 was overall subpar so... yeah, can't say I'm sad about this. If they promised to return to the style of seasons 1-2, then I'd be a little more angry.

reply

Yeah...I couldn't get past episode 1 this season...it wasn't broke, they tried to fix it....they broke it

reply

Yeah, this isn't a big thing to me either. I like Labine, but he'll get picked up in something else and I'll watch that. Thanks for posting, it's what I came here looking for!

Agreed. 3rd season was pretty bad. Might have checked out a 4th season next April, but it would have been a short leash. Maybe 2 eps if the first one sucked.

I'm devastated! I love Deadbeat :( All my shows get the shaft. RIP pushing daisies, wonderfalls, dead like me, reaper, and deadbeat

I'm kind of glad. The show went in a whole other direction for season 3, so I'm not surprised. He lost his girlfriend, best friend, that little pink ghost thing, and even that Camomile woman. There were less laughs and frankly it went over the top with weed and crude humor. The show went from being different and good to a complete mess. It's like the writers wanted the show to end and it did.

I thought the show was great, life changing no, but it had its moments and it was entertaining and that is what TV shows are about entertainment.
