Or at least not yet.

The thing is, I know for a fact many, and I mean MANY, fanboys/fangirls, stopped watching this show because of their dumb reasons. In fact, someone from Reddit said that "This fuc**** show needs to bring back Cloudecai or I'll literally kick it off my TV guide, we need romance! Not comedy!" And many more like those.

On the other hand, some people (mostly ones that watch the show since it premiered) also stopped watching it because "It just isn't the same as the first two seasons" and "It has transformed into a dramatic series". So, if they bring back the original formula, the fanboys get pissed off. And if you keep the romance drama, the long-time viewers get pissed off. This makes me think this show might need to end in the next season. And by ending, I mean making a huge series finale and bowing out gracefully.

Not to mention that three hours ago, I saw a rumor on Tumblr (thank God it was fake) that was a supposedly leaked private message between two staff members, in which it said "Hey man, I don't know about that, remember JG ordered more romantic episodes for the season". Personally I stopped regularly watching the show after they kept playing around with Margret and Mordecai to the point it go unbearably stupid, annoying, and downright ridiculous. Then I started kinda watching it again after CJ because, to me, that seemed interesting if they handled it right but now it's like I don't even know where they're heading with this new plot. Like Rigby dating Eileen? Once again if they handle it right it should be okay maybe even interesting. But concerning the part about forcing Mordecai to suddenly give up dating like 2 episodes after Margret told him she liked him is just ridiculous.

I really didn't have a problem with CJ and I thought a majority of her episodes were good but if the writers really had to get rid of her why not do it in an easier way? I just never really got why they felt the need to build up this whole love triangle thing only to then tear it down in the next scene. Maybe the episodes could've made more time with their 11 minute time span but it doesn't matter since it's already done. We can only hope that RS will begin to pickup within the next few episodes to how it used to be.

Also I just wanted to add that another thing which could've lead to/helped the decline in ratings could be that after a while Mordecai pulling 'a mordecai' with every single girl he likes does get a bit tedious after 183 episodes in.
