So what you're saying is that the show hasn't changed at all? :pop:

I honestly think the show dies after next year. While the supporting cast is great, Michael is what holds the whole show together.

There are some pretty bad episodes, but for the most part, the show is great. I thought with Ferrell coming on, and SC leaving, these 4 episodes would be absolutely awesome. They have been pretty dissappointing for the most part.

Will Farrell never seemed like a fit...it was a stupid idea.

Hahah yeah. It was just funny to see "Ferrel", "Ferral," and "Farrell" all on the same page :P

I think that it will die too, unless they hit a home-run with Michael's replacement (which I am not counting on).

I can see it having a real chance if this was like season 3 and he left, but I think next season is season 7, and usually great shows start dying around this point anyway, and with the main character leaving the show, the end is much sooner rather than later IMO.

one thing though...i really like ricky gervais, but this episode was all about stand up, and with that topic, he really has no business being grouped with those 3.
I watched this over the weekend, is this a series or a 1 time special? I thought it was more interesting than funny, but enjoyed it very much. I'd love to see those 4 sitting around talking about a different topic each week.

Micheal is the show's identity...it should just die now that he's done.

I don't think anyone really thought about what Will Ferrell's character should be like. I haven't got to watch last week's episode yet, but the first one felt like they were just ad libbing the entire thing.

Agreed, which is why I dont' see it lasting past next season. The rest of the cast is great, but he is the glue that keeps it all together.

Top Shot Finale tonight. I have mixed feelings about this season...
Spoiler:
The challenges/shooting parts are still awesome. However, the people are **** obnoxious. I hate the fact that they felt the need to lie to Jamie's face time and again instead of just saying "Hey we're going to vote for you"... it served no purpose other than to be complete and utter tool-bags to him. In other words, the reality part SUCKS this season.

It didn't really get any better....I have no idea why I'm supposed to like (or dislike) him as a character.
Just meh and not really funny at all.
