Our town restored

Trotterdam wrote:I thought the earlier seasons were better. Back then, the good probably did outweigh the bad. In season 5, not so much. But then, the show's always been scattershot, so whether you think the average quality has been going up or down, each season (and even each individual episode) has had its high and low points. There's also a certain force of habit. By now I'm emotionally invested enough in the characters that I care about what happens to them, even if their new adventures aren't as good as the old ones. Plus, I'm still hoping they'll bounce back up to their earlier quality. (That's one reason I've been slow to respond - I keep hoping for an episode that I can point at and say "yeah, see, THIS is how it's supposed to be done".)

See, that's the response I was waiting for. I was inviting you to elaborate on and organize the ideas you had previously scattered throughout your posts, since clearly I couldn't do it myself. (I have a tendency to get tunnel vision when I'm debating, which is why I keep making myself make people restate their thoughts.)

No, but I thought it absurd that that would be one of someone's primary reasons to watch the show.
