I just hope we somehow get a real season. I know that's even less likely with the cast having so much more going on, but this 8 episode thing we've been doing is rough.

I figure that was a major side effect of the fact that they had been contracted for FOUR new seasons back in 2022 or whatever. They really had no reason to make each of the seasons a decent length or anything AFAIK. They didn't even need to be good seasons, really. None of that mattered considering that they were already paid their $X four years in advance.

8 episodes hurt alot of shows, cant flesh out the characthers enough plus it being 1-2 years in between seasons for such little episodes is bad.

It stopped being funny about 10 seasons ago imo, and I say that as someone who still regularly quote lines from the early seasons irl. It has become a parody of itself. Congrats to them for still being able to make money off of phoning it in, I guess, but the legacy have been shat upon.

It's definitely less funny, but feel like they usually still have at least one real good episode a season.

Almost all shows have short seasons now, it makes me weep. I miss 20 episodes seasons
