Soooo much setup just like last season. Shame imo, I'm sure it'll ramp up towards the end again but it's not the best format.

Streets ahead of S4. *Haven't seen S4 recut though.

But there isn't the same tempo as the first three for sure. The story has become labyrinthine. Everyone was in the same spot 99% of the time in the early seasons. Without that proximity / interplay you don't have the chance to make a lot of jokes.

Oh, and I actually miss the fully censored profamity. The lighthearted tone is sullied to some extent.

Swear to god, it's been a week and I'm actually missing my comedy reruns. Barney Miller and Soap especially.

*heads over to Amazon.....*

Just watched the episode of Comedians in Cars getting Coffee with Julia-Louis Dreyfus. Hilarious! Those two are ****ing priceless together even 20 years later.

The Ranch

New season is on Netflix and it's fantastic.

Sam Elliot?

I'm in.

It's really good. It's also the first sitcom to ever allow the F word. They say it a lot too. Highly recommended. It has a lot of really great moments.
