Goes downhill from the first couple episodes

This series opens on a compelling and creepy note, but instead of digging deeper into the great opening premise, it becomes schlocky and confusing.  I have no interest in seeing the second season, particularly after the absurd final episode of season 1.

Well the series has reached the bottom of the barrel. Bill lost all contact with reality and the story line became a beldame of frantic effort to try to create something new. It would have been better if they had maintained Bill's character as it was in the beginning. I am guessing the writers ran out of ideas and decided to offer Bill on a platter. The concept of publically announcing his involvement with the illegal situation of polygamy from the platform of his new won office and exposing his wives and family to ridicule was simply too unbelievable to imagine. Season five will remain unwatched.

I initially enjoyed this show quite a bit.  However, it appears the writer is reaching for plot ideas rather than exploring the original premise of trying to find out what really happened and why was she the only one that could have kids.  As with many shows that go on for a while, I think the writers are running out of good ideas on this one as well.

When the series first started, I thought it was about time someone set about a serious look at this zombie phenomenon and what exactly that might look like in the long term. Everyone seems to focus on the first few days and this had promise. Season 1 was funny, clever, and somewhat realistic. People would be stupid, they wouldn't know how to deal with the new reality. But then season 2 came along and it became this running joke of "what you should NOT do in the apocalypse". Failure to set up protocols, properly think about sustainable resources, interacting with strangers etc. It became unintentionally amusing.

But now season six. Here we see magic. Magical bad guys. These people are so dedicated to being evil that they become two dimensional characters. Unbelievable evil spawning with people so DEDICATED to embodying that evil that they'll do anything to continue to be evil, including die for it. That seems to defeat the purpose, since the show just seems to be about the struggle of survival and how much of your humanity you're willing to give up for it.

Then come the hostage scenes. Oh jesus. I'm tired of seeing Rick's Crew be held hostage. They're ALWAYS being captured. It would be one thing if they had adapted and had started learning how to hold out small knives and stuff so they MEANT to be captured, but they don't. The drama is a cycle. Rick and his crew leave the walls, MAGIC BAD GUYS by the billions sneak up to right behind them and put a gun to their head. They NEVER hear them coming, even their hillbilly scout is routinely snuck up on, like watching Worf get beat up over and over again.

And the sheer number of this evil gang nation is ridiculous. They have the ability to block EVERY ROAD with increasingly more bad guys. Sacrifice men in an ambush where they just shoot at their feet, all for the purpose of breaking their spirit when all they needed to do was surround Alexandria with some of that big equipment and some of those MILIONS and MILLIONS of men they're somehow feeding by killing and raiding scavengers and small farms (logistic problem here). It all seems contrived to do nothing but humiliate and torture Rick's group.

If I'd been him, I'd have reacted to the situation that they'd been facing. The bad guys are numerous and somehow operate as if walkers didn't exist. They sneak around the woods looking for people they can bring into their fold or kill. We'd carry that RPG with us everywhere and those displays of force would be big explosions and body parts in seconds. If the enemy has the capacity to overrun us at any moment and kill every one of us or enslave us, then they'd better do it already because if they keep presenting me targets, I'm going to shoot them.

Instead it just seem to be a pissing contest with Rick, who eventually loses. So what's the theme of Walking dead? If the end comes, having any sense of humanity or justice is a sure way to be humiliated, beaten, enslaved and eventually killed. Oh, but being evil is somehow bad too. Even though the obvious paradox of being ruthless and evil that has played itself out throughout history is somehow not present here. No infighting, no devastating civil war as evil guy one and two duke it out for control of said evil empire, just a unified front of evil people willing to die to be evil rather than change their ways and live. Highly organized and high functioning bad guys in a world gone mad.

And what about the zombies? They're a backdrop. Sure, you COULD have a show about how zombies make it harder to farm, get clean water, get supplies, or even be MORE creative and move past zombies to something else, but instead we're left with making humans magical and teleporting them around in front of the "good guys" until... I don't know, it's thematically acceptable for them to jump out and yell "boo"???

The first few episodes of this show grab your attention from the moment they start. I was very pleased with the rapid pace of everything starting out. Then as time went on the stories because a bit far fetched and seemed to just drag on and on. It was like watching water going down a stopped up drain. It just follows way to many characters with very lame story lines. I lost interest pretty quickly.

Farscape's first two seasons were excellent. The first couple of episodes in the third season are pretty good too. But then, suddenly, everything completely went to hell. The two-part episode "Self-Inflicted Wounds" is absolute incomprehensible gibberish, and the show slowly slid downhill from that point onward. If you were to ask Farscape fans when Farscape jumped the shark, 90% of the candidate moments would be sometime during Seasons 3 or 4. All the major sharkjumping moments - from Zhaan's death to the Looney Toons episode to Aeryn's baby to that insane Season 4 wormhole garbage - happen either during, immediately after, or as a direct result of Self-Inflicted Wounds. It is the most aptly titled episode in all of TV history. Season 3 does have a few good, normal episodes, but the "classic Moya misadventures" feel is dead and gone.

Brace yourselves - this is where Farscape starts sucking.

After season three, it all goes downhill. "Chocolate with Nuts" is still one of their best episodes. I hope the creators go back instead of forward with their vision for the show.

Don't watch past season 1. It got VERY disappointing in 2. I stopped two or three episodes into season 3.

I LOVED the first season.  It was a 5 star show at that point.  Season 2 was just OK.  It was exciting enough but a lot of the humor was gone from the lead characters banter, and they upped the gore and violence factor ten fold.  I felt like they suddenly thought they had to be more like TWD or Game Of Thrones and try to shock you with deeply disturbing and freakish plotlines more and more often rather than keep the focus on Da Vinci's genius which was why I was watching it in the first place.  Plus the killing off of popular characters begins in season 2 and continues into season 3.  I was incredibly disappointed in the 3rd season.  It felt like a bunch of nonsense and the overall feel of the show became completely depressing with way too much hallucinating during several early episodes.  It became garbled nonsense by the 4th episode.  I fully understand why it likely lost viewers and did not return.  I was totally stunned at how far it fell from season 1.  When given an opportunity like this it always amazes me that the show runners cannot find decent writers who can a keep a show interesting and enjoyable for at least 5 seasons.  What a shame.

Watching the self-absorbed character continue to impose herself onto people gets a bit boring after a few episodes.

Some of the stories that have been told over the last thirteen episodes were better than others but none of them were that good to begin with. While a couple of the stories managed to step it up and give the audience something special, the overall theme of the series got played out very early and left this volume with a real letdown and no satisfaction. This has been a long journey to confirm what my initial instincts told me, this series is not worth the effort.

The first three seasons of this show are great.  But I know that eventually this show loses its shine from the newer episodes I catch every now and then on TV.  I can see it starting in this Season 4.  Instead of clever, witty banter between the characters, the dialogue is starting to come across as more mean-spirited than fun.  Plus, as the kid grows up, he's not as believable as an innocent, which in turn doesn't make him as funny on the show.  Still worth buying, and I'll buy the 5th season, too, but that might be the last one I buy.  I'll see.  For now, like I said, this Season 4 is still pretty good, just not as reliable for LOLs as the previous three seasons.

I have been a fan of the show since it's debut in 1999.

The last couple of seasons have been hit and miss.  Yet, the show has NOT gotten as bad as "The Simpsons" have in their last few seasons.  You can still have some laughs with "Family Guy".

But, yet, the laughs have been fewer in the last couple of seasons.

Course, when the show will NOT release by seasons, but by volumes.

This one starts on a Halloween episode & ON SAME DISC THAT HAS ONLY 5 EPISODES HAS THE CHRISTMAS EPISODE.  Meaning how few episodes we get in a season.

"Road to the North Pole" is a longer episode.

We get episodes uncut here so NOT for kids.

The extras are decent.  For you "Batman" & Adam West fans you get to see him receive his star of the Walk of Fame.

Poor plastic case.  You do NOT get air dates or episodes or explanations of episodes, just the terrible plastic case & you have to remove disc 3 to see list of episodes.

So, decent season, not outstanding.  Poor plastic DVD case.

Unfortunately this brilliant series goes out with a weak whimper. The quirky, zany writing started to go downhill around Season 6. Season 7 is totally boring, unfunny, unoriginal, and I could barely force myself to finish it. But Season 8 is just downright bad. Nothing funny, everyone unlikeable, especially Nancy. Andy is checked out and you'll want to as well. Several storylines go nowhere and just peter out. The strongest seasons by far are 2 - 5 -- they are fantastic. Skip all the others.

I was very sad when I finally got to watch season 3. It seems as though the writing is considerably less clever.  It seems as though profanity was used where there used to be good jokes.  I'm not a prude, it just isn't that good.  Very sad as the first two seasons I really enjoyed.

The characters used to be involved, nuanced and complex. Now they are a shill for idealogues who use this show to preach their political gospel. Every show is about Lisa and how brilliant she is. She's the most insufferable character on TV.

People believe Family Guy copied this show. That's looking at it too superficially. They are satirizing the Simpsons. They are lampooning how formulaic it has become. For example: Why do you think Meg receives so much criticism and flack? It's likely because the creators of the show loathe the Lisa character.

I don't love Family Guy either, but this show has been complete trash for 10 years on. Enjoy your spoon fed humor masses.

It took a while for season 1 to get going, I mostly enjoyed season 2, but Season 3 made me have to stop watching the show because the writing was so bad. Maybe it was just the same ongoing problems with it that finally got to me, but it just seemed like the show took steps backwards this season. The only consistent characters are John and Harvey (inside John's head, so he doesn't hardly count). The rest flipped into different modes depending on where they needed the story to go. One episode everyone is buddy buddy and working hard to make everyone else feel good about themselves. The next they're totally selfish and go out of their way to hurt each other. It's just so inconsistent and it leads to the viewer feeling no personal connection to the characters (because its really like different characters in the same body). On top of that, they took some of the good concepts of the show and drove them into the ground in all the wrong ways. A living ship....that's neat. But when 70% of the plots revolve around the characters having to do something for the ship because its alive, it gets a little old. It's like the writers thought "Hmmm, we need a reason for them to not leave this planet. I guess we can make it because the ship doesn't want to? Or maybe because the ship is hurt and they don't want to risk hurting it more? Or how about the ship misses it's family? It's all just lazy writing. Good concepts behind it, but poorly executed. It bothers me because it could be so much more.
