I was watching part of American Police last night and started to get the feeling like they were just showing up for the paycheck. Still funny, but the enthusiasm definitely wasn't the same.

Would be nice if the show continued but kept them all in a 'Tag-Matsumoto style' box, or their main room while a team that each member handpicks does all the heavy batsu lifting. Keep things like Pie Hell or the Scary batsu for them while the younger generation begins to take the reigns.

I'd rather watch them try to make each other laugh anyway.
