I thought last night's episode was good too. I did notice the film quality was weird, wonder if filmed that way to make them look younger lol.
I liked that they finally talked about Mark and how Becky is having a hard time getting on without him. Maybe they could have been a little more deep about it, perhaps having more of the cast talk about him, but it is a comedy and they did dedicate the episode to him in the end credits, so that was nice.
I agree when it's just the original cast it's more enjoyable to watch. I thought it was funny DJ thought he was allergic to dogs all these years.
