That's the great thing about this show - it was so experimental.
Of course if you're experimental, you are taking a big risk - your experiment might not work, and it's very likely it will fall flat on its figurative face.
However, with experimentation and .. 'experimentalism'?, you also open the door for unconventional, original, unique episodes with completely amazing humor and situations. When an experiment pays off, it's hilariously wonderful!
It's just that it wouldn't be experimenting if it couldn't fail, and some of the experiments are pretty bad. The Chinese Restaurant, the parking hall, the indian wedding and the edward scissorhands.. they're all sub-par.
But without them, we wouldn't have the gems, so you have to take the good with the bad.
Freedom to experiment is the freedom to bring out the genius that doesn't exist in the world of 'playing it safe'.
