I heard the best reason for the downfall of this show the other day. the guy said the day they put Ryan in a suit was the day they nuetered the show. he said that since he has been suited up there have been no good fights and just when you think there is going to be one nuetered Ryan now takes the highroad and walks away.

Technically the dude wore a suit in the 3rd episode(or maybe it was the 4th one) where his mom got hammered at the charity casino party. There were still plenty of fights after that. But yeah, this season has been way too tame. I really miss the "episode punch count".
