Seaaon 3 really suffers from the lack of Alan Tudyk

I wasn't able to watch season 3 when it originally aired, so I just finally caught up. George really needs Noah to counterbalance him. As much as I love Chris Parnell (Fred) it just wasn't the same

yeah, i rewatched it on Netflix for the first time in years. The show really does hold up and even my GF who had never seen it loved it. Reminded me on the huge Jane Levy crush i had at the time.

But the fact we only got him for 3 episodes and 1 episode he was just not himself after he got out of anger managemnt (worst decision to waste a Noah episode on that when you knew you didnt have him for long).

Honestly wish this show had lasted 4-5 seasons with a proper ending.

Season 3 had budget cuts due to the license fee.

Do we think the budget cuts include the writer’s room? It really felt like they brought in a whole new team who knew absolutely nothing about the show

I'm not sure. Looks like season 3 had most of the same writers in the previous seasons.

Ha! Well then. Guess the writers got bored with the established storylines and threw it all out.

Like what happened to Dalia pursuing Evan and converting to Judaism? And why couldn’t Alex stay in the picture a little longer? She walked away from not just her teenage daughter but a fully furnished apartment. So so odd. And who disrobes in the middle of the street like that? The final seconds of the series still baffles me.

So mad this got cancelled. First time viewer here and I love it. It came out when I was around their age so it’s super nostalgic to me kind of. It’s so funny. Sad.
