I am hopelessly addicted to this show. I have cycled through about 3 times till the finale. But, I cannot watch the last 15 minutes! I just cannot.
It took me a long while just to be able to watch the last episode.
I don’t want to “ say goodbye “ to these characters.😫
I'm working my way through this for the first time right now. Approaching the end of the sixth season.
The consensus seems to be that this season marks the beginning of the decline of the show. I've enjoyed most of them but there are some signs of it beginning to fray - most notably Michael indulging in an affair with the married woman. It doesn't play out as particularly funny, just quite grim...
But as a clear "super fan", do you think I should cut my losses now and just skip to the end or soldier on?
It's not on the same level once Michael leaves, but it's not unwatchable. More characters are introduced -- some funny, some not, and I think there are some different writers that don't quite hit the trademark all the time.
shareYup, still better than most comedies at the time, even at it's worst.
shareI like Gabe, but I can't really watch the 'after-Michael' episodes. The thing I hate about Gabe, though, is how he doesn't even know enough to keep his katanas the correct way - the blade down-position will ruin the swords quickly. Blade up would keep the swords sharper for a longer time. Japanese actually store/display/keep their katanas correctly, the blade up ('frowny face', if you want - but I guess Americans can't stand 'frowny faces', so they have to make katanas 'smile' and not care that it ruins them).
I don't see why this show was so popular. I never liked it because I always had crappy jobs and it just didn't jive with me.
I was a carpenter , a landscaper, a home depot retail, gas station attendant and a disabled college student and now I hate my life because I finally got a taste of the west coast but couldn't afford it there.
