Season 1-3 are worth watching. Season 4, not so much. This show has officially "jumped the shark."

The first three seasons were great. The show was something special, quirky, funny and well written. The combination of Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short is perfect and the chemistry they have is real. The humor is nuanced and quick. The characters are interesting and fit well.

But season four is a big break from that. The "celebrity cameos" are distracting. The writing to squeeze everyone in is flawed and sub par. It's like the minute a show becomes popular, everyone wants screen time and the creators have to let them. For example, Molly Shannon is a terrible fit. She's not funny and overacts every scene she's in. The same goes for Eva Longoria. Then consider that they squeezed in Ron Howard, Meryl Streep, Zack Galafianakis, Paul Rudd (as two equally annoying twin characters), Eugene Levy, Melissa McCarthy, and Tina Fey all in one season and you have a mess. Some are funny, some make sense, but mostly they are shoehorned in for face time. And it shows.

I don't think I'm going to waste my time on season five if it continues along this path of celebrity advertisements.
