I might one of the few who actually liked the show from season 1 and not thought of it as a dumb less than counter-part of the original British version so maybe I'm just hooked forever and a little biasis but the shows still very good. Granted season 6 seems a little weaker than its predecessors but honestly the show is still one of the better situational half hour comedies considering other popular network comedies either have no plot and relay on non sequiturs or is doing there best intimation of this show... I guess there is a third option but I'd rather not acknowledge Charlie Sheen antics, Ducky, and a fat kid as comedy.

This show lost "it" somewhere around the Writer's Guild strike. We had an excellent season 2 and 3 to build on and some moments in the hour-long eps of season 4. But since then, you can sense a dramatic loss in the writing direction of this show. They seem to be headed towards the "Fonzi-jumps-the-shark" moment within the next three seasons (current one included). Seeing it that Carrell has next season under contract, I can imagine next season being their last or second to last unless things change. "Murder She Wrote" was yet another ep that had some entertaining moments but there were also way too many others that simply didn't hold up against the original DNA of this show. The characters are ALL a former shell of themselves - the early seasons held so much meat to each person.
