There are way too many throwaway episodes in the last 2 seasons. Sure, watch them if you want. But I know lots of people who skipped most of the last 2 seasons and seemed to enjoy the show's final run more than those of us who were so fatigued by the show completely jumping the shark.
Really, I wasn't an emotionally connected fanatic, but throughout the show, the only things that really bothered me COMEDICALLY was when they made Lily some non-Lily caricature. What was the one where she was smoking cigars and talking like the baby on Roger Rabbit, or that White Whale costume from the finale. The rest of them, when they came up short, I shrugged and said eh, they tried, and when they excelled I revelled.

Like I said, maybe it's because I watched it, not like like a real life me, or real life my friends thing, but a talented performers performing snappy scripts thing.
