Seaon 15 is also great. I understand what you're saying and get why some people wouldn't like it. I love it. Joe did a fantastic job with it and I was so excited to see his next season. Just, how? How did he go from great with Season 15 to......Season 16? I don't get it? Yeah, 16 was far worse than anything 15 did. Aside from the B plot with Washington's brain damage (which I'd argue is atually one of the best plotlines in the series period, it was executed so damn well it makes the rest of the season that much more mind-boggling) and the final fight with Donut and Doc, most of the season was trainwreck with some of the weakest jokes in the series. Half of 16's jokes was basically characters randomily reading off a TV tropes page. The plot doesn't go anywhere until the 13th episode, which wouldn't be as painful if the episodes before it were actually funny. There were a few good jokes in the season, but way too few and far between. Also they have Grif repeat the exact same character arc he had in Season 15 for some reason, except executed way worse.

16 was so bad it actually made me appreciate 15 more when I rewatched it. I never thought 15 was bad and I still don't, I just thought it was weak compared to most of the other seasons, but 16 makes 15 look like shakespeare.
