Final season of The Bear drops 6/25 (at least I think it's the final season)

Hearing mixed things about it being the final season. I guess the finale of this season is written by Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach instead of Chris Storer, the creator/main writer and director, which would lead you to believe there is more.

I'm seeing the writers for season 4 as:

1 Christopher Storer
2 Catherine Schetina
3 Rene Gube
4 Ayo Edebiri & Lionel Boyce
5 Karen Joseph Adcock
6 Christopher Storer
7 Joanna Calo
8 Joanna Calo & Christopher Storer
9 Joanna Calo & Christopher Storer
10 Christopher Storer

Ah, must've seen something older/rumored then.

And Deadline says that not only is Mel Brooks going to reprise the role of Yogurt, but RICK MORANIS is returning for Spaceballs 2!

I'm just now watching the 3rd season and was totally prepared to be a contrarian and tell everybody how great I thought it was. And I did like a lot of it. But I just watched the 2nd to last episode of the season last night and the second half of the season has been super tedious and unfocused.

This 9th episode was like an early career Jarmusch movie issuing from the mouth of a dull child.

Carmy has seemingly crossed the line from occasional dick to profoundly hateworthy.

The episode where Sugar gives birth was interesting but unjustified, and Donna seemed like she had a totally different set of pathologies than she did the last time we met her, which, granted, was many years earlier.

The blessed Faks, great as non-sequitur comic relief, are overindulged and overexposed.

And while I enjoyed the Tina episode as its own standalone thing, I am pretty sure she's said stuff that directly contradicts what the episode portrayed.

I really loved the first two seasons of this show, but it feels like maybe they didn't know what they were doing with this season.

I'm pretty sure the plan was three seasons, the network ordered it be stretched into four, and it shows.

That definitely excuses some of the stuff I mentioned (long Fak digressions), but, it feels like they could have filled the time with more backstory episodes and I'd have been totally fine with it. We could have had a Sweeps episode instead of just a ham-handed conversation with Ricky. They could have told some stories.

[MickeyDavis]

Yeah they stretched it, that's why I'm pretty sure season 4 is the end. They filmed it back to back with 3.

They need to study him. Life, biology, all of it. He sounds so clear and looks fantastic. That trailer was perfect.

New Naked Gun with Liam Neeson.

Looks like the 80s parody is having its renaissance.

I'll give Tires a 2nd chance this season, I didn't like the first either.

My old acting teacher from Pius XI high school plays the guys dad Jon on it, which is pretty cool. Peter Reeves was just a high school drama teacher in good old Milwaukee a few years ago.

Lots of good comments on here about the Bear, all valid.

I think it developed a template (summer release, drama + comedy mix, prestige acting, specific regional setting, etc) that will be duplicated a lot. So people won’t stop talking about it. But if it wants to be remembered as a great show (Id say season 1 was super promising and season two was great) it needs to stick the landing, and go out here in season four with a few memorable episodes and some satisfying resolution (without being predictable or too resolved).

First episode of Dept. Q. was interesting enough to keep watching.

Predator “Killer of Killers” was better than I hoped. Really fun.

Everyone i know that has watched it has loved it. And it's very up my alley. Going to be my next show with my wife.

The Moranis part had me immediately decide it's a must see even if it's bad. My jaw dropped when I saw that he's actually returning.

I've watched 4 of the 9. Once the premise was established I've enjoyed it a lot. I don't ever watch trailers or read reviews, I feel they give away way too much and I like to go into a show/movie knowing as little about it as possible.

I guess i'll have to go back to this one. Literally fell asleep during the first episode a couple weeks ago so decided to not watch it. But seen reviews as being good on it and a few here vouching so might have to revisit

Hot Take: Spaceballs was hilarious when I was 12 and saw it in a theatre. When I went back and watched it a few years back, the humor didn’t hold up great. And my kids, huge star wars fans, didn’t laugh at all.

Not Hot Take: what the world really needs from Rick Moranis is a Strange Brew 2.
