I liked this as well. The episode in which they got the Adderall from the neighborhood kids was pretty funny. Looking forward to the new season.

TJ Miller great guy to have on a cast. Makes stuff funny, maybe not a star, but you want him in your movies!

This show is very funny. I've already rewatched the first 3 episodes of this season again.

I don't watch any comedies anymore but I won't miss this one. The new "internet on radio" guy should provide a nice mix for the group to interact with.

This season hasn't been as funny as the first but it's still good. Nick Lassard aka Lloyd Braun with the cameo on Sunday as the lawyer.

Many speculate that they make fun of Cuban in this show...with the Russ Hanneman...kinda obvious...

making fortune from putting radio on internet? into hundreds of other cheesy deals. I guess they didnt want to give him a pro team to make it too obvious

Got some second hand stories about Cuban from some people who know him well (yes, they showed me pics with him from last month he was in Chicago at their house) as he has many Chicago connections. They agree he can come off as a douche, but the guy is just a deal junkie and maybe he loves the fame of the deal, more than the success of the deal, but he said when push comes to shove, you couldnt have a better business partner. Bottom line, his personality prevented him from buying the Cubs due to Jerry hating his personality and spending habits.

This show has become a directionless mess. TJ Miller is leaving the show so maybe they can actually have a point to this show instead of a constant loop of "Get in trouble", "Have something random get you out of trouble", "Get mad at each other", "Having something random happen to make you not mad at each other".

I really want to like this show and it was pretty good early on but it seems like nothing ever happens any more.

Hard to argue. I still watch it and I still laugh but it's more like brain popcorn now rather than a good meal.

TJ Miller leaving is bad for the show. You can only use Dinesh vs. Guilfoyle for so long. I suspect we are going to get a large dose of Russ which is bad. He's great in small doses, the act gets thin quickly though.

Also, too much Gavin of late. He's just not that interesting of a character.

Jared is brilliant, though. We should just get an Ed Chambers spinoff.

The problem with TJ Miller is that he was useless on the show. He was a great character in the beginning but they either wrote him badly into storylines or he just didn't really fit in with where the show needed to go and didn't.

Everything else you said is spot on.

The real problem with this show is the main character Richard. His schtick is unbelievable and at the same time a constant on the show. Watching him screw up EVERY situation with his petty and awkward behavior has gotten tiresome to the point where I want to fastforward through all his scenes.

I simply want to knock that sniveling cocksucker's teeth down his throat.

you're giving him more credit than he deserves. By saying you want to punch him you're acknowledging him as a believable real character. I look at him as such a contrived fake unrealistic character that I don't even want to acknowledge his existence.

yeah his character got tiresome halfway through the first season. at some point they should have made him grow some confidence and develop. it just doesnt fit the story anymore, he has proven to be the smartest guy on the show and yet he is continuously the least confident. it doesnt make sense. its just cringe.

agree, he's totally unbelievable as a character at this point.

From my dealings with tech geeks in Silicon Valley, this show is pretty much dead on.
