After chuck left? For me, some of that shite was hard to watch. Much better after that.

I didn't like Chuck, but of course that's exactly how we're supposed to think as the viewer so they did a good job there. Although the electricity stuff got repettiive a bit, the chuck/jimmy dynamic was great. The episode with jimmy switching the dates at the xerox place all night was awesome, and chucks' mental breakdown on the stand after they plant the cell phone on him was superb.

Yea, they did a good job with that. I didn't like him either, but he was pretty much right about Jimmy, though.

It was pretty great no matter who was in the cast. I’m working with Michael McKean right now and he is pretty awesome.

I actually quit it then had to come back and force myself through the Chuck slow burn. That whole storyline drug out way too long. Main reason I don’t rate the show higher than an average watch.

It's kind of amazing that the dad from Malcolm in the Middle, the guy who wasn't David Cross on Mr. Show and one of the sleazy guys who was trying to get with Laverne & Shirley could end up the cornerstones of some of the best stuff ever on TV.

I get why people disliked the Chuck stuff, but the Jimmy/Chuck scenes were some of my favorites of the whole series. So I don't think the show got better once he left...it was awesome and just continued to be awesome.

BCS is better than BB IMO.

the whole 'chuck v jimmy' with the kinkos shop was pretty great tv

damn chuck was a savant; its a shame hubris and a blind spot for his brother caused his downfall.

Howard Hamlin really got a raw deal. Turns out, he was not quite the dick Jimmy thought he was.

Great show

Good Trivia nugget. Patrick Fabian, the actor who played Howard Hamlin, was also the college professor on Saved by the Bell - The College Years.
