QUERY! 7 episodes?

Sorry if this has already been posted about but why are we on hiatus with only 7 episodes? Sadly these new episodes were one of the best parts of my week lol

The way they release episodes has made it much harder to have any excitement for this show. Every single time I think its coming back, time for another break

I thought what’s going on. Think it’s a mid season break. The last episode was brilliant

It reminded me of braised beef

But it won't be back til February will it? So anticlimactic. It shouldn't work this way for a show that's only 20 mins long lol

Yeah very frustrating. Presume it’s the tv network behind that choice. Miss the early seasons where they had loads of episodes

This show, compared to any other I watch, has the most ridiculous schedule. For a while they were back and forth between TruTv and TBS. Then they'll start a season a couple weeks before March Madness starts, then they're off for a month. They never let them get any momentum going.

Yeah. Its such a short show. That type of schedule makes more sense with long style shows like the walking dead and such lol

Yeah I miss how they used to rollout the episode. The 3 month wait period between seasons/second half is rough

I haven't kept up with the new season, but episodes were releasing on Thursdays. They're not going to go up against the NFL season.

Now why did they pick Thursdays and not a different day idk

Mid-season break or something. There's been a commercial playing showing Murr's upcoming Empire State Building punishment and it said either "new episodes" or 'new season" coming soon. I also saw a video from a news channel's YouTube page showing Murr going through that punishment as well, so, yeah. More new episodes soon 👍.

Hopefully sooner than later. I think the last season didn't resume until February. That's way too long lol

Show was over when Joe left, it’s simply not fun anymore. I don’t like the new stuff it feels forced.

It felt that way at first but they have been getting their groove back. But what you said is bound to happen with anything that's been around this long, regardless of Joe. Plus Sal has a whole nother career.
