The first 2 seasons were funny

My husband and I enjoyed the first 2 seasons (which is why I give it a 4 and not a 1). Then really weird stuff started happening: 1) the writing got bad;2) too many Allys (4 in all); 3) what the heck happened to the Woodcocks?? No explanation whatsoever! How about just a "they moved" explanation? How hard would that have been to write into the script??; 4) Kenny had been living with them (with no explanation why for about 4-5 episodes, then all of a sudden, they have the episode explaining why Kenny is living with them. I haven't gotten to the Ally's pregnant one yet, but I hear it was done in the same vein; and 5) it got not-funny and very mean-spirited. I'm guessing the husband and wife writing team were headed for divorce, and that's how they were feeling and wrote the scripts the same way: MEAN AND NASTY! We're in the 4th season now, and I can't wait for it to be over with. My husband thinks the show is going to get better. He thinks it can't get any worse, but I beg to differ. I cringe every night thinking he's going to want to watch another episode. I have him play it last at night so in case I fall asleep, nothing lost on that show! UGH!! Too bad, because it had SO much potential, and I really did enjoy the heck out of it the first 2 seasons. After that, a waste of time and space.
