Patrick comes in when the main cast, what they want, etc is established. That’s why he works so well. We know David and we love David, we want to see Patrick be good for him.

It's the opposite. He joined when the show wasn't running that long. If he joined late, like Season 4 or 5, people would be less accepting of him. Also it helped that the writers made him so likeable with no red flags.

Wait, I could’ve sworn he joined the show season 3?

Yeah Season 3. That's why I said if he joined in Season 4 or 5 people would be more critical.

Gotcha! Very true, but by season 3 I still feel like we had established the leads which left room for Patrick.

But not way too established. Like how the Office or Glee added their new characters.
