Hardly anything happened.

This season is going off the deep end. I'd say this episode was the worst one yet, but I don't think it was the least enjoyable one, although that isn't any better. Barely anything of interest and entertainment happened. I guess you could say that it focused on character development, but I really don't care. Steve Buscemi carried this episode. Uncle Sam and Todd's ale pong were the specific highlights.

I couldn't care less about Benny's inner turmoil about feeling less of a bad guy/like he's getting soft and his rivalry with Trig to be the outlaw on top. I don't care that Ezekiel and Prudence have "finally" gotten romantically close. And the way the ending was depicted as dramatic, along with the dramatic music score, was like, "okay...?"

Why is the humor falling off the face of the earth with each new episode of this season? I guess I'm all for character development, though it should still be entertaining and enjoyable to watch. But it's kind of hard to care about character development with a show like this. It feels like it doesn't really matter all that much, so subconsciously, I'm expecting more humor and entertainment value than boring character development.

Even if the season doesn't get any better as far as the entertainment is concerned, I still won't hate this season. It'll probably take an almost impossible amount of whatever for me to hate an episode, season, or show. At least this season is something to watch. I do hope there will be more humor, preferably involving Todd, in preferably every remaining episode, but I'm not going to be surprised if that's not the case.

Episode 306

Steve Buscemi has given it his all in any of the three roles he's had on this show, and he did it again tonight making the most out of some poor writing for the character. But this felt like a big step back for the show.

It is funny when they occasionally make a reference to something more modern with a joke that wouldn't make sense then or a current product, but there was way too much of it here. There was not going to be a random Fourth of July parade in an area like this. I don't even know how prevalent they were in cities at this time period let alone in random places.

A few laughs here thanks to Benny the Teen but overall an underwhelming episode.
