ROFLMAO. The longer a TV series lasts for, the more ridiculous it gets.

I very, very, very rarely watch that show .. I've seen maybe 3-4 episodes total and that happens to be one. Nothing about it surprised me knowing what I know about the show tho. Doesn't really do anything for me, if I want ridiculous over the top non-sense, I watch 24. At least in 24 there's a dramatic beeping sound.

The show was better the first 2 seasons. After that, it started getting too ridiculous. Incidentally, FX seems to have the shows with the most shock value, at least as far as broadcast/basic cable goes - The Shield, Nip Tuck, Dirt, Over There, Rescue Me, etc).

Two others: "Family Matters" and "Married with Children". Family Matters was completely ridiculous with the some of the stuff Urkel made and did.

WTF, I thought that one episode with that masked dude cutting one of the doctor's faces while he slept or something was the series finale?

Nope, that was just the ending to season 3. Season 4 is out now.

Yeah, that's what happened in season 3. At this point the show is essentially "Let's See What Absurd ****** We Can Come Up With Next."
