If it does come back, I'd really appreciate a change in formula somehow. The last few years before Covid, basically the format was all the same, with the same events happening in the same order over and over.
I just binged them all a couple of months ago…and yeah. Very repetitive.
I mean to be fair, these were annual specials that weren’t intended to be binged like a Netflix show. I do agree they were formulaic but I’m not sure if I were watching them just once a year, as intended, I’d even notice or care too much. Fans who religiously watch the specials multiple times throughout a year are of course going to nitpick the layout of the specials. I’d rather the specials come back and stick to the formula than not have them at all.
I binged them because I hadn't seen them in about ten years. That being said, the guys are getting older and can't get their asses slapped forever.
