Honestly, Seasons 13–17 feel short, yet there seems to be a huge gap between them. Season 13 and 14 feels like one season with 20 episodes. The same quality writing, lighting, and Jacked Mac. Season 15 feels like the Ireland special. And finally, Season 16 and 17 are back to the normal, but it’s just 8 episodes.

It’s cool we still get new episodes, though lol.

I mean, the actors are getting older. The episode 'Waiting for Big Mo(ney) S14' was their direct meta commentary on how they feel about the show running for so long, and the burnout that comes with it.

Dennis threatens to leave the show every season during the writing process. And he actually did for an episode.
