Two episodes in a row about a lecherous old man and his son fighting over a teenage girl? Really?
And ever since they replaced Troy with Scott, it's one cheesy objectification of women gag after another. This would be fun in moderation, but it's THE theme now. I guess I'm supposed to be charmed by the dashing, mush-mouthed Sergeant Scott and his prurient ways. Meh. A bit one-dimensional, needs more character content. (Not that the adorably profoundly stupid Troy had a ton of character depth, but he was still a delight.)
The show has always been campy and fun, but takes a sharp turn toward lowbrow exploitation in season 7. So far this season we've had an episode about incest, two episodes about "scandalous" closeted homosexuality, and two episodes about a lecherous old man and his son fighting over a teenage girl. I think maybe the producers are trying a little too hard to make the show more "exciting"? That's all good to an extent, but they're trying too much on at once. The show feels like it's having a mid-life identity crisis.
