The material in the new yahoo season has been strong enough. The Chang-centric Karate Kid revival bordered on inspired. But there is something missing that is leading to huge swathes of silence, making the final product feel more like a rehearsal than an episode. It seems like it actually needs a laugh track of all things, but it has done fine without one before. Maybe it's music, maybe it's ambient noise, maybe it's simply tighter editing.
Go back and watch the most recent episode looking specifically for dead air, and it will pop out like a zit on the nose of a supermodel.
