I think he meant Dirty Randy. I confuse the two all the time.

Jenny was one of the better characters in the show IMO. Plus, she's super milfy hot.

The last episode was OK. Really fizzled out... not sad it's gone.

Yes, she was on the show but watch those early seasons again. She's much less prominent and receives far less screen time. Jenny was mostly the token wife character like Ruxin's wife in those early seasons. Sometime around season 3, there was a concerted effort to make her a much bigger part of the 'boys' and their antics.

Just life Raffi grew from a couple of appearances making cameos here and there into practically a regular by the end.

I don't mind Jenny, but the situations were definitely funnier with her when she was trying to get in to the League and managing Kevin's team. That said, the writing has been poor all around for a few seasons so I don't think concentrating on just the guys would have made much of a difference these last few seasons. The writers really seemed like they just ran out of ideas, and the weak end to what should have been a far more interesting and funny Shiva Bowl shows that.

I wish they would have had Pete end up with the real Shiva. It would have been funny to have him get the Sacko, but end up banging the real Shiva along with him winning the million dollars.

I was in a meeting today with someone who could be Shiva's younger, hotter sister. It was ridiculously distracting.

that was a great gag, but I don't think it could have been sustained for the entire show.

I was under the impression that the show isn't really "written" and that much of the dialogue is improvised.

I don't think so either, just saying she was certainly funnier earlier on.

I'm sure they have some idea for the various plots they want to do.

Meh, Andre already banged Shiva (and Kevin banged ugly Shiva back in high school) - so Pete ending up with her wouldn't be a big deal. I predicted that Pete would win the Shiva because we never saw him win (he won his Shiva's before the show started) - but I guess having him win 1mill in another FF league and winning the Sacko is good since we've never seen him come in first or last - so we got both. The coin winning the Shiva was just lame.

I didn't get the humour with Meegan's kid being Pete's instead of Andre. And it's pretty shitty of all of them to hide it from him. Hard to like the characters are something like that.

Anyway, I'm glad it's over. The quality level went down drastically - especially this year. Killing off Sofia with only a couple episodes to go really made no sense.

Exactly, that would make them all Eskimo brothers, which would fit in perfectly with the show.

Also, you liked the characters all the way up to now but THAT made you dislike them? they were all bastards for the entire run of the show on par with Seinfeld, only times 1000.

Naw, they were never really all that likeable - but this just seemed like a whole different level of cruelty to me.

It did seem mean-spirited for a finale but I guess they wanted to gang up on Andre one last time.

I wouldn't say that about these guys...about the Always Sunny guys, yes, these guys, no.

It's had a few good moments but overall a disappointing final season. killing off Sofia just made no sense

didn't like the ending at all

Only good thing was Shiva in the final episodes, hot as hell

Just finished binged this, as I had missed seasons 5-7 for some reason way back when. I agree that I didn't see the need to kill Sofia as well, like what was the point? Also the baby being Pete's was dumb as well, the flash-forward wasn't that satisfying either.

I do think it would be fun if it had a revival of sorts, but maybe I just think most anything post-Covid life would be funny with jokes that can be made, but that's probably just thinking of any jokes in present time.
