What's wrong with gimmick episodes anyways? We have 10 season of "normal" sunny, so why not try some strange stuff like Being Frank or a thematic one like the ski episode (which is similar in parody concept to the leathal weapons).
Granted, trying to do different things might not always work out as well, but I like when they try.

Being Frank was kind of hit or miss, but The Gang Hits the Slopes was right up there with the best episodes they've ever done.

Charlie's random heel turns are usually the best bit of whatever episode they happen in honestly. "What are we going to do with this piece of poo poo," about the leprechaun slayed me.

Accretionist: Nov 7, 2012; I BELIEVE IN STUPID CONSPIRACY THEORIES

I've found the perfect series finale.

quote:

Failed Murder Attempts[edit]
The events that led to Malloy's death began in January 1933.[2][3] He was, at the time, alcoholic and homeless.[2][3] Five men who were acquainted with Malloy: Tony Marino, Joseph "Red" Murphy, Francis Pasqua, Hershey Green, and Daniel Kriesberg (later dubbed "the Murder Trust" by the headlines[1]), plotted to take out three life insurance policies on Malloy and then get him to drink himself to death.[2][3] The first part of the plot was successful (probably achieved with the aid of a corrupt insurance agent), and they stood to gain over $3,500 (more than $61,000 by 2011's standards by the CPI) if Malloy died an accidental death.[2][3]

Marino owned a speakeasy and gave Malloy unlimited credit, thinking Malloy would abuse it and drink himself to death.[2][3] Although Malloy drank for a majority of his waking day, it did not kill him. To remedy this, antifreeze was substituted for liquor, but still, Malloy would drink until he passed out, wake up, and come back for more.[2][3] Antifreeze was substituted with turpentine, followed by horse liniment, and finally mixed in rat poison.[2][5] Still, Malloy lived.

The group then tried raw oysters soaked in wood alcohol.[2][3] This idea apparently came from Pasqua, who saw a man die after eating oysters with whiskey.[2] Then came a sandwich of spoiled sardines mixed with poison and carpet tacks.[2][3][6]

When that failed, they decided that it was unlikely that anything Malloy ingested was going to kill him, so the Murder Trust decided to freeze him to death. On a night when the temperature reached −14 �F (−26 �C), Malloy drank until he passed out, was carried to a park, dumped in the snow, and had five gallons (19 L) of water poured on his bare chest.[2][3] Nevertheless, Malloy reappeared the following day for his drink. The next attempt on his life came when they hit him with Green's taxi, moving at 45 miles per hour (72 km/h).[2][3] This put Malloy in the hospital for three weeks with broken bones.[3] The gang presumed he was dead but was unable to collect the policy on him.[2] When he again appeared at the bar, they decided on one last approach.

Malloy's murder[edit]
On February 22, after he passed out for the night, they took him to Murphy's room, put a hose in his mouth that was connected to the gas jet, and turned it on.[2][3] This finally killed Malloy, death occurring within an hour.[2][3]

He was pronounced dead of lobar pneumonia and quickly buried.[5][7] Despite this, the Murder Trust failed to divide the collected loot evenly.[2][3] Eventually police heard rumors of "Mike the Durable" in speakeasies all over town, and upon learning that a Michael Malloy had died that night, they had the body exhumed and forensically examined.[2][3]

The five men were put on trial. Green went to prison, and the other four members were executed in the electric chair at Sing Sing.[2][8]

That's amazing but it's a shame they kinda already tried this scheme with Pondy in "Mac kills his dad". Gonna guess it was probably a reference to this very incident?

I personally think the show should end with Cricket killing the gang and maybe himself too. They turned him into a monster and monsters do have a habit of killing their creators.

Cricket revels in his squalor. He loves the gang because they have, in fact, given him total freedom. Their torture of him has given him a validation that he arguably had never received from the church or in high school.

He would never hurt them.

If the bar doesn't burn down by the end, most likely by the gang's own plan spiraling out of control, I'm going to be pretty surprised.

In the olden days of letter phone exchanges, it would have been given a name, Hollywood often used "KLondike 5", or KL5, for 555. Your local phone exchange would often have a cute name for the first two digits.

I'm not sure where the show is going. But I'm going to ride this ship to comedy heaven. HONK. It looks like Gun Fever 3 could come up next season.
Here's what I think is in store for the season finale:
I think Frank dies at the end. There would be a kind of cinematic symmetry if the last season is lacking Frank.
