It's incredible that the show has been around for this long. That's not say that the show's quality is bad -- I feel quite the opposite. It's just...they really pushed the envelope with this...didn't expect it to last this long.

Great news about a great show.

Now I know why last season was so great. They were writing for a new contract. Like NBA players playing for a new contract. Let's just hope this doesn't mean three years of mediocrity.

They deserve it. Brilliant satire.
