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.

Yeah, but I think when you rewatch some of the earlier episodes, you're reminded of how clever the show was. I mean, the pineapple episode, the Super Bowl episode, the hot/crazy scale. The show used to be brilliant at weaving together multiple plot lines, constant but relevant cutaways. Creative approaches to storytelling. Toward the end of the run, I can barely remember more than a handful of episodes where they did that successfully.
