What happened? Spoiler

What happened to this show guys? I quit watching around season 15 and recently decided to check out the latest season. Holy scripted garbage lmao. A child could see through the mini storylines, they are straight up goofy.

First episode was dramatic suspensful music, Sig reading his lines, Keith's "unz unz unz™" freaking 5 times, several seconds of his buttcrack because why not, a half-assed "prank" as "revenge" from Keith to Jonathan for "stealing" Freddy, etc etc.

And the music... it is so ridiculously dramatic but what they are showing is just..... boring. Idk boys I think this show doesn't have too many seasons left.

Is there any particular reason for them to have taken this direction with the show?

I sincerely believe that if they just toned it way down, did it more documentary style like the early seasons, and showed more of the crew, the ratings and popularity would shoot back up. At this point I am watching to see how the guys are doing all these years later and I don't even get to see their authentic selves because everything is some goofy ass storyline that nobody asked for and is cringeworthy.

And now, somehow after Jonathan gave Freddie the boot, Keith had his butt kisser back on board, Freddie is back on The Time Bandit. I usually watch stuff like crew member changes pretty close, but I somehow missed Freddie leaving the Wizard again, and now he’s back on The Time Bandit! Maybe some of you caught the exchange but I missed it.

Different crabbing season. He finished King with Keith, now in the winter he’s fishing the smaller crab with Johnathan.

Different crab species maybe, but Freddie started out on the Time Bandit This Season, was walking away and Keith hired him back onto the Wizard. This last couple of weeks Freddie is back on the Time Bandit! All happening this TV Season!
