I will say, the show's quality started dropping more significantly in season 5. The episodes were better written in earlier seasons and characters were more consistent. But season 5 does some character development. Nick and Schmidt became my two favourites - where Bishop became pointless (in my personal opinion). To me Nick and Schmidt have the most character development - they've learned and grown from their experiences (though they do regress in some-odd episodes).
The show does still make me laugh out loud, but you can certainly tell that the writers are running out of episode ideas.
