Yes, I'm joining the already long line of those people. I got a fair bit into season three then just kind of stopped watching.
The jokes and never-ending cycles did get a little repetitive and old, and while seasons 2 and 3 are not bad - they're still packed with over-the-top fun stuff and references - they were kind of forgettable.
But then came season four, particularly the latter episodes, and someone convinced to give it another go. And boy am I glad I did! The whole show returned to old form, and found it's way back to what made it great in the first place.
Here I am now, actually shedding a tear while smiling to myself and ocassionally giggling at the memory of some obscure pop culture reference a character made many episodes ago. I think that sums this show up quite well.
When a show hits such a perfect balance of making people literally cry, smile with deep satisfaction and laugh *at the same time*, you know you have something special. As dumb, silly, ridiculous and sometimes not even that funny as this show is, it's also kind of the best show I've ever watched.
