User blog comment:BarBar/TD has to end :(/@comment-5964625-20131123012749

I think a lot of the continutity issue has to deal with them maybe getting new writers. Aside from Laurie Elliot, I don't know if the others wrote eps from before season 4. Also, I think a big issue with the series going downhill has to do with how little of a connection the seasons have with each other. I mean, everyone was not only SEEN in the first 3 seasons, but they all communicated, connected and such with each other. Season 1 was referenced and mentioned in seasons 2&3, and season 2 was mentioned in season 3. If only TD could get that connection between seasons back, it'd do a whole lot better. IMO.
