Yeah, all the signs of a flash-in-the-pan series. That is an incredible drop. Dozier's (or Semple's) initial instincts may have been correct, but aggressively sinking the show in the deep waters of more parody and celebrity guests he assumed everyone found appealing was just setting the expected burnout / lack of originality in motion.
