Sorry to add to the hate train but every time I see the name come up, it stings.
The original seasons are some of the greatest comedy I've ever seen and I absolutely loved it. That whole 'comeback' season was an abject disaster and I couldn't even make it more than halfway through.
Reading that it went even further downhill is almost amazing.
Edit: I actually thought it was actively depressing in how shit it was.

Actually yes, the only part I remember is George Michael and Maeby's story, that was geniune fun, specially as she dressed as the old lady with the fake teeth lol
These are the things I genuinely remember:
-The family hiding a vacation house from Michael
-Maeby pretending to be an old woman to live in the retirement community
-George Bluth Sr. attempting suicide by holding onto an anchor
-Gob doing some sort of magic trick on a float with Tony Wonder (switching closets?)
I sincerely have no idea what Michael, Buster, Tobias, George Michael or Lucille (had an affair?) did in the season.
Couldn't even get five episodes into Season 4 before giving up. It was surreal to see how awful it became - I thought my funny bone was broken for a bit.
i think Tobias went looking for Lindsay at an emu farm at some point with junkie Sue Storm
i think
i think
Don't know why I didn't think of this! It's the obvious choice.
Couldn't make it through the first half of the season, not sure who thought more would be a good idea.
Yeah, it's starting to come back to me. Maeby was funny. George Michael had some funny stuff. The joke about them hiding a vacation house from Michael for years was funny, though I don't remember them doing much with it.
But yeah, I just have vague recollection of others odds and ends that seem like a fever dream. Tobias definitely has an adult son. I think he and Lucille had tons of unfunny scenes together. Lindsay was barely there. Man, what a bummer.
I'll watch, but I'm not expecting much.
Yeah, same here. It's like it's been removed from my memory entirely.

This might be the first negative thing I've ever heard about Twin Peaks s3.
It's not negative. The post I was replying to asked about having a thread that is "what is the best revived show?". Twin Peaks is the best revived show easily. s3 was incredible
Holy cow, I totally misread the initial post. Was thinking you were saying it should have stayed dead.
My mistake!
Best? No doubt its Twin Peaks.
Red Dwarf's last season was really strong and that's arguably a revival. MST3K has been good too. I'm sure there are some other good ones.
As for AD, I loved season 4 (prefer the OG cut). I really didn't get on with season 5 part 1. I'm hoping part 2 retroactively makes it funny (because the first few episodes of season 4 on the first watch were tough, but are really funny on a rewatch.
Loved Maeby's plot and enjoyed GOBs, even if the greenscreen stuff REALLY hurt the last episode of that. Like, the suitcase ADR was funny, but that greenscreen stuff... eurgh.
Can't speak to Red Dwarf but I absolutely agree on MST3K (though I'm waiting on the cancellation).
Which makes it even funnier and more impressive. The first negative thing you read about season 3 was when you misread something.
I'm in the midst of muscling through the doldrums of S2 so I can finally watch The Return. ~.~
There was something about half the cast going back and forth from Mexico for reasons?
Buster was missing or something?
I recall S5 making the horrible choice to double down on George Michael still dating Isla Fisher's character. That should have been jettisoned ASAP.
With the best episode being the insane finale.
Well, insane by OG Twin Peaks standards.
Yeah, we just broke through into the last handful. Things are happening. Gordon is writing epic poems about pie.
Netflix can't really "cancel" MST3K, right? They can just choose not to fund them again, but they don't own MST3K as a series, unless something has changed from the Kickstarter.
I'm truthfully not sure.
Jonah and the guys have sent out some not-so-cryptic tweets implying that Netflix basically didn't promote the show at all.
Oh, yeah, Netflix completely fucked them over, promotion wise. But that's a conversation for a different thread lol.
I just started watching this show for the first time. I have no words to describe its genius. Im only on season 2, but Its absolutely amazing.
I feel the exact same. The first three seasons I could watch over and over and over again, but after the transition to Netflix, the magic just wasn't there anymore.
Season 1, 2 and to a lesser extent 3 are amazing. 4 was trash and now I'm hearing that Season 5 is worse along with randomly splitting up the season? Yikes
