I'm a big fan of the show, but haven't liked this season at all. There's too little comedy written in compared to the last couple seasons. If they are going to kill off Frank...they need to do it already, I'm really tired of that storyline.

X2. This season has been a real downer. Frank needed to die a long time ago.


And would smash Emmy like the fist of an angry god.

I'm completely with you on that. The only thing that's made me laugh as been Kevin's stupidity. Outside of that there really hasn't been anything really funny.

And I'm in the Emmy's overrated column.

Emmy is absolutely gorgeous in every aspect, including her face.

And i personally have really enjoyed Fiona's downward spiral story arc. Tough to see, but well done.
Some great acting required!

I won't judge people that dislike Emmy. I find her to be the most attractive of anyone in "hollywood", IMO.

There are ones I am on the other side of the fence on as well...like Taylor Swift...I find her to be absolutely repulsive. *shrug*

I'm onboard that this season has been a little crappy. Frank dying all season is getting very old and Fiona's crash and burn has just been a complete WTF over and over, especially when she's supposed to have been the responsible one for the first three seasons. And Debbie's expedition to get laid is just uncomfortable...am I supposed to root for a 13-year old to lose her virginity or what?

IMO, Carl and Kevin are the two highlights this season.

I'm so-so with the season. Lip stepping up, fiona falling down.

As for the Enemy debate, bigger boobs and good. Otherwise, unimpressed.

Agreed. I think Steve Howey (Kev) has really shown his talent as an actor this season.

Lip has been alright too, but just not enough a part of the show. His struggles adjusting to college life have been pretty good.
