I didn't think it was as devastatingly terrible as others may have thought.There was a more of an in your face type of feel to some of the recurring gimmicks. But I don't think that made it that much worse
Being that it is the premiere, they could have just been trying a bit too hard. I laughed at some of Troy's lines that were still true to his character.
I think its too early to tell if this is as big of a departure as those 2 articles suggested.
My biggest worry is that of the 2 best supporting characters (and actors portraying them) On television. The Dean and Chang.The Dean is best utilized as a secondary weirdo and enabler of the core cast. I can't think of too many good things that would result from a story arc of him moving in next to Jeff. Hopefully I'm wrong. Chang has always been crazy and they were running out of ways to show that. I hope they don't flub this seasons version of Chang.
After early reviews and this thread I was ready to forget season 4 existed.
After watching the premiere, I will probably tune in next week.
