This show was amazing for many years. The first 11 seasons are comedy gold, and will age wonderfully. Idk what happened after that, but the writing is way off. The jokes are more about being random than fitting with what the characters have been since the show started. The show is more overt about the moral of story too, which feels preachy and out of character for the Belchers. Being preachy isn't a bad thing necessarily, but in this case the point of the show is absurd comedy. It is supposed to make you laugh. When you are sacrificing laughs to send a message, then you are changing the entire point of the show. I recommend watching the first 9-10 seasons if you like to laugh.
