I finally watched The Return. It definitely took some time to find its legs, but it kind of got there. It's hot and cold, but honestly if I remove the rose-tinted glasses, so was the old show. The best of the bunch was the Santa movie (can't remember the name). That felt like the old days actually. I still stand by my initial criticism from a year or so ago--the new crew's joke density still tends to be too high. There's a lot of good jokes, but it's just too much, too fast. Near the end of the season, though, they get a better pace. But it does take quite a while. Haven't checked out The Gauntlet yet.
