So first off, I still love the show.
But, I can see where the show did go downhill some this year. As I watched Season 4, I could tell something wasn't right with some of the episodes. As far as I know, Seasons 1 - 3 were completely written by the show's three main actors. This year, new writers were thrown into the mix and the actors took a step back from the writing responsibilities. Some episodes were still written by the actors, some were shared with the new writers and some weren't written by the actors at all.
And I found out about this writing change after watching the fourth season, so it wasn't as if my opinions of the season were tainted. It's still a good show, and I'm really hoping the actors get involved again in the majority of the writing. If that doesn't happen, or the new writers don't improve, I can see this show going downhill fast.
