I'm glad so many agree with me. And i agree Brock is one of the essential characters in it. I don't even care about this new cast I just want it funny again and they obviously proved that new characters doesn't make funny.
They are not as funny, but I like that they are tying up so many loose ends. I'm hoping once they clear up the old stories they will have a springboard for new stuff. I did get some chuckles from the group therapy for washed up sidekicks this week. Watching it high is a problem for me because I become easily confused and this season I have had to watch each episode twice so I can catch all, or most, of the references to past stories. Nothing this season has come close to the Hidden key ploy that Brock used to escape the pirates. I guess I like the show so much that I wouldn't want to miss even this season.
