Underfunded? Y'all are doing better than your parents were?
I'm on season 3 and I'm still pissed about the pay.

Season 4 here. The writers are on strike.
"character development," my ass!
Man, at this point, I can't even get scab writers. We're running on AI generated scripts and puppets.
And none of those good puppets either. We're down to dirty sock puppets and paint on hands.
They're just plagiarizing old copy and pirating old footage from movies, TV shows and Youtube videos and plastering a new title on everything ... they're using a team of kids from India to put it all together ... and it's not even in HD!
This comment keeps cracking me up, i love it.
We've had a season of crossover episodes. I'm begging production for one or two bottle episodes.
Bottle episodes? We've had a couple of bottle seasons over here. Can't get off the stuff!
If we're extending the metaphor here, then no, things just LOOK better. Like how cgi is so cheap now that they can make stuff that looks like the avengers for the the budget of a(n) (inflation adjusted) episode of the X-Files. The budget is still in the tank, though. Make no mistake
If we're breaking the 4th wall, then,
Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
It is if I print it on a sticker and slap it on my bong!
You will say the same about your 20s when you pass your 30s
Nah, 20s me was the best time to get into the show. 30s me is stressed, has no time, has developed anxiety, spends a lot of time exercising not because it feels good but because apparently my cholesterol is high now, and the show is mostly focused on the kids which is usually a sign that the plot quality has gone down.
Maybe, but I had to learn so much during my 20s. My 30s aren't fun and I feel like I'm getting old, but during my teen years I formed into my 20s but in my 20s I formed I to my 30s. In my 20s I was searching who I was, although I had a lot of fun. Now I'm constantly tired, stressed out, depressed, but I feel like I know who I am.
Season one was severely under funded and the show has stagnated ever since and it's barely popular enough to stay on air.
Nah my season 1 was the best. Writers on point. Solid stuff, sometimes slow paced but interesting.
Season two started to slowly decline, season 3 was so lame the main character almost quits.
I'm sorry. :( Any spinoffs worth watching ?
Yes, I hear the series starring the sister is going pretty well but it's a totally different genre.
Don't listen to whoever said the dog- there was never a dog in the franchise
I've heard there's a dark, comic version, but you can only find it online.
The mini series following the dog character was worth watching IMO.
My life unfortunately has been basically Game of Thrones. At this point the writers are just churning out thoroughly implausible bullshit because they're ready to move on to a new project.
At least you got sex and some murders there i don't know?
It's a massive shame that we have the most interwoven community when we're young and dumb.
Now that i know who i am and am a much more rounded person i have no close friends.
I've solved this by having kids and making friends with parents at playgrounds, eventually finding fellow nerdy linux users that also bike a lot.
That's so cool!
That last name though!
It's pronounced "por-NAY".
I'm 29 and it's kinda starting to look like that's just something you can say every decade.
I’m older and it’s true
I'm season 4. Writers are being repetitive and a lots just depressing, but it's an ok show really. Could do with a bigger supporting cast but they made the right decision getting rid of the family characters
Rebroadcast it in Turkey with new voiceovers and you'll be golden ... for a few years anyway. And you'll have a chance at becoming a cult classic
Oooh good thinking
I'm like the Simpsons. Season 1 was choppy, I had a good rise and plateau'd during some golden years.
However I'm now into Season 582 and my writers have been replaced with chimpanzees doing a terrible impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger on loop.
What channel is this on? ... and how much is the subscription?
I'm having an absolutely torrid time at the end of my 20s, so hopefully the next season is either better or short. 😂
Season 1 was Moral Orel. Season 2 was a television adaptation of Raise the Red Lantern. Season 3 is the F-ggots and their Friends Between Revolutions.
I don't feel like I've changed much since high school, personally. I still don't know what the fuck I am doing, I'm still stupid, and I'm still horny all the time.
I love current season me. If you're nice to me I'll be nice to you back because, why not? No biggie. But if you try and screw with me or my friends I'm about as nice as Mimi was in Super Paper Mario
Season 2 me is just kinda meandering, not sure where the plots going but it makes good background noise.
Humans have 4 lifes, if you think about it, each lasting for roughly 20 years.
It's this way because dogs and cats (and many other animals!) have an approximate lifespan of 20 years. Humans have 80 years, approximately 4x as much.
It is sothat we can feel the consequences of our own actions in our next life.
