The third season was an enjoyable one, but I agree that it was uneven. My feeling is that the episode lengths really did it in. The episodes just didn’t feel tight enough, giving the feeling that they were meandering. As this season was really about everyone who wasn’t Ted – trying to pre-prove the point of Ted’s note on Trent’s book – the meandering gave the impression of aimlessness.
They rocked that finale, though. And there is absolutely no reason for them to return to the well with these characters. The show went on a high note, so no more seasons and no spinoffs please.
