5 second review: There's lots of emotional stuff going on this season (Howie's mom dies). But overall it's still a lot of fun. With all the regular ingredients: smart ass, goofy, sweet, and super relaxed. It's just a shame they end the season on a somewhat 'less happy' note. The final episode is completely different in tone compared to the other episodes. But that doesn't spoil the fun of the season.
IMDb score: 8,5/10
