This series is one of the very best - ever - until... the last episode of season 3. Everyone is saying that it goes bad in season 4, but right from the start of season 3 finale (episode 13), it seemed like something was off or odd. Maybe the writers left early, and the key grips wrote the episode. It just seemed really weird, rushed & sloppy. And yes, as everyone knows, season 4 continues the garbage. I was angry that they replaced Portia de Rossi as Lindsay with a less-likeable not-quite-look-alike, only to find out that - somehow - that actually WAS still her. Wow.. Lost a bet to my wife after I looked it up. Never bothered with season 5.
