Season Four elicits a variety of reactions among fans, and that’s because it’s got a variety of episodes — most of them continuing the show’s trend of increased humor at the expense of its previously strict notions of literal realism. As you know, I’m no fan of realism when it stands in the way of the genre’s comic objective, preferring an internally created sense of aesthetic truth, wherein a show must merely be consistent and logical based on its own standards and what it’s told us to expect. But the problem now with Kate & Allie is that sacrificing its intense believability — one of the things that made it special — is not only destroying literal realism, it’s also shifting the goal posts of the show’s personal aesthetic too, which means it’s shedding a vital part of its identity. What’s more, this shift is not attached to an improved use of character or premise within weekly story.
