Yeah, speaks for itself. What ever happened? People keep saying they ran out of ideas, but I’ve seen some ideas in these new episodes that, with a large amount of polishing, could actually be good! Isn’t it true that comedy has infinite possibilities too? I also noticed that they’ve kept a large amount of writers and directors. Please tell me, do you know what’s gone wrong?
@h63ddd Oh dear, you’re right. Disney did it too. I think I’m still gonna wait for more answers though…
@Delilah Oh why, Delilah? Why did you give me such a cruddy answer?
@Marie it’s not like they can just lay off their employees just because they’re runnin’ out of ideas…
@Jim I SAID in the description that I’m sure they probably shouldn’t be running out of ideas…

what happens with most successful things is that in the beginning the do the good stuff to become famous and such, then after theyve cemented there reputation they BS for as long as possible, squeezing every last dollar out of it until they cant fool anyone anymore.

Marie- theyre doing another season actually
