    I was a huge fan of the first four seasons of this show, but this season has been TERRIBLE. This went from one of my favorite shows to being borderline unwatchable. What the hell happened?

    I've been a big fan of this show, and absolutely love seasons 1-4. I've watched them over countless times.

    I have to say though, season 5 has been just awful in comparison. I haven't really laughed yet. The amount of "Andre is gay" jokes becomes excessive, and honestly desperate at times.

    I have to say though, season 5 has been just awful in comparison. I haven't really laughed yet. The amount of "Andre is gay" jokes becomes excessive, and honestly desperate at times.

    Additionally, the end of the episodes have been notably anti-climactic. The show has a trademark where they make some kind of hilariously shocking joke and bring up the end credits (with the theme song) abruptly to end the show on a great note. They've always managed to do this well. The ends of each episode this season have been so uninteresting that I cringe when they try to do that now.

    I keep watching each episode waiting for it to get good again, but it literally hasn't done that yet at all. The jokes are actually getting progressively worse, along with the writing in general. I love this show, so I'm going to keep watching, but I wish they'd step it up.    … Expand

    Two episodes in and so far, extremely funny. I simply just love the way the characters gel still and their on screen chemistry. Every episode gives me a good kick or two!

    It's too funny. You need to watch from Season 1 till now, in order. The show has developed into something unreal. It's hilarious. The cast has great chemistry, and the semi scripted aspect is great. The laughs are genuine, and the jokes are hilarious. This show needs more attention. One of the funniest on TV. I feel so bad for Andre though. Hopefully he will get a break soon. I think a lotIt's too funny. You need to watch from Season 1 till now, in order. The show has developed into something unreal.

    A decent season in the oft hilarious football show, what unfortunately sets this one apart from the rest is how predictable it was. Usually there is some predictability in the show, but this season was riddled with it. Also for the first half of the season most of the time it went away from the fantasy football portion of the show which I think is the strongest aspect of it.

The last half of the season definitely saved it for me as it went back to what the show is strong at, Stand-out episode: Rafi and dirty randy. Despite being in the fist half it was actually a very strong episode.… Expand

    It's a podcast masquerading as a sitcom, but the fifth-season premiere is a good display of the show's shaggy charm.

    Some jokes land mildly on their feet, but creators Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Marcus Schaffer routinely allow potentially interesting punchlines to slip through their fingers unfulfilled.
