I was a teenager when the series started. Then, I liked it. Season 4 came around and I had long since lost interest; let's face it, its just a franchise; not really a show for adults. I didn't plan on seeing any of it. Unfortunately, due to family watching it, I have caught a lot of it.

The show is just tiresome. It's the same thing over and over. The script is the most infuriating part. It tries to make you feel every emotion within the space of five minutes, and this cycles throughout episodes. Every line of dialogue is cloying sentiment or a slick quip. Something terrible happens, then there's a lame joke. There's no room to breathe. I'm not sure the characters have distinct personalities as a result of this. I also feel the series relies too heavily on a gimmick, that being 1980s nostalgia. It's gaudy and mind-numbing. Don't waste your time.
