Definitely the best dark comedy series I've seen. I think the earlier seasons were better than the recent ones, but even Season 10 is still funny. It kind of fell off for the last seasons that Fiona was in, but still better than most of the poorly made series on TV now. Frank's character makes the show. As long as he's in an episode it will usually be funny. The only thing I think they could do better is Lip. In the beginning he was a genius with a 4.6 GPA who got a free ride to a top school and was doing advanced math that a tenured professor passed off as his own. Now he's fixing bikes for his AA friend and if you didn't see the earlier seasons, you would have no idea that he's the most intelligent one on the show. I think they changed a couple writers; the ones they had in the first 6 seasons thought of darker and funnier scenes than the ones now.
