This is a show that's been described as Seinfeld-on-crack, and I don't think that's a terrible description of it by any means. At one point I considered writing a spec for this series and all my ideas stemmed from title ideas, which are a highlight on this series. This season included "Mac Fights Gay Marriage", "Who Got Dee Pregnant?", and "The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods" to name but a few. I liked how this season had a few carry over stories, like Dennis getting married - Dee and Charlie working at the school - Dee's pregnancy. The extra continuity adds to the fun, I think, even though this series works quite well in it's standalone nature.
I've already written about the Christmas special which ended this season (pure wonderfulness), so click on the tags below for that.
There's a lot to like about this show and it truly is a unique and original show that takes from successful shows of the past and really makes it their own. The FX comedy model is a great one and I think we'd do well to do a similar one here in Canada. If you haven't caught onto this show yet and you like your comedy on the dark side of things, this is a no-brainer. Check it out.
