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!

Season one was severely under funded and the show has stagnated ever since and it's barely popular enough to stay on air.

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.

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.

I'm like Start Trek: The Next Generation and started hitting my stride in Season 3. I just hope I don't get cancelled before my time in Season 7.

You'll get three movies on the side and a resurrected sequel series with the main character.

And guest appearances on other shows.

Plus you'll be related to a whole community of like minded shows and cousins to even more. And you'll have an enormous dedicated fan base who will endlessly reference you.

I'd say you're going to do just fine.

Season 2 me is just kinda meandering, not sure where the plots going but it makes good background noise.

What channel is this on? ... and how much is the subscription?

I'm 29 and it's kinda starting to look like that's just something you can say every decade.

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!

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

That last name though!

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

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

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!

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.
