I haven’t watched this show yet, it is on my list of shows to see eventually (have too many on the go atm lol) but was just scrolling through and saw this show had new episodes added and i remember hearing it got cancelled awhile back due to people complaining it was too “politically RIGHT leaning” in its format” and due to Trump being elected, alot of shows were being cancelled if they had ANYTHING right leaning (Roseanne ring a bell?) Anyways, read your comment and i am completely NOT surprised at your observations..this is what they do to “smart” shows..they cancel them, then bring them back all dumbed down for the masses so “everyone” can enjoy it now. I assume Season 6 was the last season before it was cancelled awhile back and Season 7 is the “revival” season with “upgraded” characters? I HATE shows that feel they have to explain every single little joke like we are too dumb to get it..you know what i see that a lot on? KIDS shows, like Nikolodeon shit and YTV and other pre-teen stuff…the jokes are SO dumb on those shows, even for pre-teens, i don’t think they give enough credit to how intelligent they really are and it makes you wonder why they all seem so dumbed down nowadays..well, look at the “quality” of their entertainment they are given..ugh, makes me sick, it really does. Did they use Canned Laughter in the new seasons here? You know a show is REALLY done when they use canned laughter lol..anyways, thanks to your comment, i know now that if i DO ever get into this show, i may stop at Season 6 and leave it at that…Cheers mate

It was leaning politically right, but it was funny. The kids were also more left leaning and modern in their thinking which sparked debate. Every side made a valid point to their cases, funny shenanigans ensued as they tried to prove each other right. Their strong chemistry further made it an endearing experience that made you root for everyone as they eventually learned to somewhat compromise although Mike ended up proving himself right quite a few times. I don’t know about canned laughter, but it has always had the laugh track although I do think it’s gotten more annoying since Season 7.

Now… every character has become a stereotype of their main characteristic that is being dialed up to 11.

Personally, if you ever get to that point some day, I say check out 7 for yourself to determine whether it’s within your tolerance range.
