Actually, I'll probably get flamed for this, but also probably because this season 3 is a DISASTER of wild proportions for a show that had a fantastic first 2 seasons. Every episode nearly an hour? So many new characters brought in and sent packing without reason. The stupidest of story points - there was always silliness but there was heart behind it but tying string to their willies? JFC.

The problem was that the showrunner/head writer left the show (to do Shrinking - which is solid). That left Jason who's a fantastic comedic talent but with NO actual running a sitcom writing experience to take over. Hopefully he doesn't choose to try that again. No doubt he was part of the writing staff that put the first two seasons together but clearly didn't learn enough to be in charge. I also think he's probably too nice of a guy and wanted to give ALL the regulars some BIG STORYlines and scenes that didn't add up to anything. 

I, like many, fell in love with the characters so I'm barely hanging on till the end. But I've actually turned it off mid episode more than a few times this season.
