I'm not a die hard by any means but have watched enough of the show to get the idea of what's going on in this new season. They do little things to catch a viewer up on what they need to know about each character they re-introduce. For instance in this latest episode I didn't really know the Ponderosa's that well and have only seen a couple of McPoyle episodes, but they let you know a couple of key things. Girl Ponderosa= Dennis's ex wife, and the way Dennis acted showed the dynamic of their "relationship". Dad Ponderosa= drug addict and Frank was his AA sponsor so you can see how bad that can turn out. If you understand the MAIN characters it's easy to understand the bit characters.
The problem they have is obviously shit gets WAY too zaney because (this is from Glenn Howerton's mouth) they have "jumped the shark" over and over and over on purpose so at one point or another it's going to be hard to keep up the quality of the show. The good thing is that that the cast is very funny and talented as comic actors and are able to carry the show with such ridiculous premises.
