Bob Odenkirk: SNL; The Ben Stiller Show; Mr. Show (multiple iterations); Crank Yankers, Tim and Eric (multiple variations); Sarah Silverman Project; Jon Benjamin Has a Van; The Birthday Boys; Comedy Bang Bang; Bob and David; Drunk History; I Think You Should Leave.

The new KITH series has a bunch of talking head segments from some big stars - Katherine O’Hara, Pete Davidson, Colin Mochrie, etc so you could add to some people’s tally from that show.

Whose Line is it Anyway has tons of guests you might want to count too, though a lot are actors and not sketch comedians.

What a sentence

these assholes grow on you

I think The Boys is a wrong answer here, because it didn't go off the rails.

My complaint is actually the opposite- everything always just resets to the status quo.

It's a one gimmick show that is quickly being overused.

Season one was my favorite and what I felt was closest to the sort of real life people and co workers mixed up in big events in a future but grounded setting tone of the first six or so books. Somewhere in season two the tone starts shifting to standard TV sci-fi and they start including stuff like more sound in space instead of reverberated sound from ship hulls that they used more in season one. Plus, some characters personalities get little larger than life but it doesn't get too bad.

I still like the rest of the series. There are great moments and sequences throughout and really good performances from the main cast along with the ancillary characters.

If that was the season where we finally got to see Amos go back to Baltimore I guess it was mine too. That isn't saying much as I hated all the Amazon season. Amos's return to Baltimore was such an anticipated event and it was just such a nothing burger bullshit series of events.

OMG in the show the Naomi family drama was the same three way conversation over and over again that went nowhere.

I love what the showrunners set out to do, but they admitted their critical mistake was not having a bible that mapped everything out coherently till the end of the series and it definitely shows as the series progressed.

Oh yeah, all these rando family members that we had never heard of before suddenly came out of the woodwork. Even a fake long-lost son for Picard, which is kind of hilarious that we now have his real long-lost son on Star Trek: Picard.

Exactly. I'm just about to finish episode 4, and I'm like, none of these people are very likable. Except for the doc whose head got ripped off.

Almost the whole season is full of episodes centered around the main characters family members. It's just bizarre. And then there's that troi/riker/worf love triangle..

BSG gets so much love but that show was a mess.

@Op

I hated the first season. The detective neo-noir story didn't click for me. But if you make it through S 1 and allow the 'world' to open up a bit the series is really good.

People not feeling S 1, but loving the series overall is a thing on the show's sub. It's not just you.

I stopped watching it during season5. But apparently
there are time travels, alternate universe and super powers in the show.

try to stick it out to the season finale and see if it sticks.

it takes seeeveral episodes to start to click for some people - the overall plot hasn't heated up quite yet and you're wondering why you should care about these people

Basically everything on Servant. Just classic M. night Shyamalan bullshit

They were spread too thin.

At the same time, essentially the same crew were producing TNG S7, DS9 S2, Creating Voyager and gearing up for its first season, and writing Generations. IIRC, it was so hectic, while they were concentrating on Generations, they forgot to write a finale for TNG, so All Good Things was knocked out as an afterthought.

They had also stopped taking outside submissions by that time, so that cut a source of ideas.

Accidentally method acting by being Jeremy Strong's number 1 hater.

What we do in the shadows. It went from the perfect continuation of the perfect movie in the first two seasons, to a below average standard sitcom in the last two.

Season 5 is my favorite of the Amazon seasons. None of them are good they weren’t given the budget to be good, but at least 5 mostly follows the plot of the book.

Yeah true. I think it's just one of those series where I really have to pay attention to what is going on. It's not a show I can just have on in the background and catch up on

If you don’t like the politics I don’t think you’re going to like the show. That is the show. Human politics. There’s some alien goo about but the alien goo is largely just there to exaggerate the effects of the human politics.

That whole Naomi family drama part wasn't that entertaining in books either. Sadly for the show, it picked up again after it and that is something we might never see in tv show form.
