It's hard to believe how quickly this show fell off in relevance


Maybe I'm alone in feeling this way, but it seemed like just a couple years ago Workaholics was one of the more popular shows on TV. You'd see a lot of advertising for it, the 3 stars were doing lots of interviews, and I knew several people who watched and liked the show. Now, I can't even remember the last time I heard or saw anything about it in any capacity, comedy central completely stopped showing reruns as well

Seasons 1-2 were good, show dipped after that

That's a good point, it doesn't get a lot of play time on TV anymore. Not even adverts or anything on it saying when to catch it. I agree the first couple seasons were the best. Part of me will always wonder why the quality went downhill so quickly after the first few seasons. Were they just out of ideas early? Did someone behind the scenes leave or get added? Is it because Adam diversified into other projects (shows, movies, commercials, etc)?

Seems like I'm always late. Would not give this show a glimpse until I caught a marathon 2 years ago.

Seasons 1 through 5 are pretty solid.

I actually thought the first two seasons were the weakest lol Oh well.

IMHO shows like this always make the fatal mistake when they turn "the gang" into the losers in every situation. The same thing happened on Sunny.
I think people enjoy seeing them as clueless, but still basically harmless.. Now they are thieves, almost sociopaths, and seem capable of anything. They are not fun to watch.
