What happened to the show? From the beginning some of the characters were really annoying and just never funny like Shirley and Pierce. As the seasons went on other characters became more and more annoying and the storyline just got dumber and dumber. I hated every puppet, cartoon or claymation episode. That's when you knew they were getting desperate for material. Season 6 is just horrible with so many whiny characters and dumb story. I highly recommend seasons 1 through 3 and maybe even four but forget the last two.
