I’m not optimistic based on that first episode, did they have a hard time getting a writer’s room together this time?

The animation was extremely unambitious and the plot was, charitably, a minimum viable effort. I’ve loved this show for the majority of my life, but if you don’t have something to say, move on.

The comedy in this episode was the “Now that’s what I call jokes we missed 201x” and there wasn’t anything beyond it to latch onto. After the quality of that last finale, I just want to forget that this happened, so far.
