I don't think I can handle an entire season of George and Annie. Nina grew on me, tremendously, but Mitchell leavened the others. I'm not saying he was admirable, but his character made the others more watchable.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Annie was very annoying. Her story was interesting, but once it was told, the character seemed to lose her purpose on the show. George was too much of a goofball; he often made me want to shake him til his brains rattled back into place. The humor of the show was the sort that just makes me uncomfortable, like, I know I'm supposed to find this funny, but I don't. (Of course, I have that problem with many shows.) I liked Nina best; she was the only one of the group who had any sense, though she had her WTF moments too.
I liked the first season, I think I'll leave it at that.

George has grown more bearable. I suspect they will introduce a new character to replace Mitchell. I enjoyed the combination. I used to watch sitcoms and they mostly had an intentionally nasty character. Louie in Taxi. Ted Baxter in Mary Tyler Moore.
As you say Mitchell leavened the group. But he also came to the end of his arc. He had to either die or become the big bad.
If they introduce a new character to the family I wonder if it will be vampire. One of things in this universe was that vampires really could not reform. There was the vampire who stayed clean for 40 years then one day was overcome by the hunger and killed his human lover who was the love of his life. If he could not stay clean, I wonder if any vampire can stay clean. Maybe there is a spell. There is a surviving additional werewolf. Well intentioned, but young and kind of the strong silent type. Not very good foil for George, Annie and Nina. (Actually Nina does not need leavening. Almost totally awesome, and her major flaw is that she keeps apologizing for yelling at George when she was right. OK well she did get conned by the Krazy Khristian Krackpots. But mostly awesome)

I kind of liked Mitchell, or at least saw why the other characters tolerated him -- remember, they're all dysfunctional. The producers were smart in casting such a charismatic as Mitchell, it supported WHY we're seduced into being Mitchell's co-dependents.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yay!
And, um, does that mean the US is going to be a week behind again? Labor day is Monday, September 5th this year.
But at least the first episode will be aired in the UK and the US on the same day, right?

Art Crawl!!!
Probably.
I don't know why they couldn't just air it over Labor Day weekend.

They're afraid of poor ratings, due to us Americans traveling about and whatnot.
