I've been trying to put my finger on it. Taken at face value, I don't think any of the episodes are actually any worse, though. I've seen all of season 1-5, most of the episodes at least a couple of times, and I can't really say that the absurdity or the sight gags they're relying on this season are anything new.I think the problem is actually us, the viewers. Because the show didn't start on time, and with Alec talking about not returning, it left a good while for expectations to build. Couple that with the fact that Community was yanked to give 30 Rock a spot on the schedule, and it seems like it created a situation where no matter what the show does, it's not going to be good enough.Either that or it's just that Liz has never been in a happy relationship with a man she could stand, and it's making the whole thing weird. They spent so much effort getting James Marsden that the writers want to use him. So that means most of Liz's scenes are with Criss, instead of the usual ensemble feel where each character moves through everyone else's arcs.   See 6 other replies

I agree so much. I can't even get all the way through the episodes anymore. It sucks now. And this is coming from someone who has seen every episode from seasons 1-4 twice!   See 6 other replies

I like the Simon kid. But I agree, something is off with this season. I don't know if it's because of the recent hiatus. I can't put my finger on it either...   See 6 other replies
