Show constantly fails to deliver on potential.


This show has an endless series of setups for great bits, that in the early days it used to deliver on, and now never bothers. The recent arc with a depressed Todd going crazy and becoming obsessed with model trains, and the world simply full of model trains for the picking, should have been some next level lunacy. Why even do a scene like that if you're not going to lampoon the culture of train nuts in the first place? All we get is a pretty good sized model train set, that appears at the breakfast table that it has infested every aspect of life in the mansion, but that's the end of it. There's no Pee Wee Herman/ Doc Brown payoff for all this lunacy. He just goes crazy and wrecks it and it wasn't even a very good Godzilla riff. In a show that already had so many dinosaur suit gags.
