Season Four is a solid collection that mainly just furthers the previous year’s major trends. For instance, the dwindling “novelty of premise” means there’s even less of the show’s conceptual situation regularly invoked in weekly story — oh, more than there’ll ever be ahead, yes, but far less than there was before. Additionally, the ongoing heightening of Alan’s character, moving him from an anti-Charlie “straight man” into an avatar for neurotic loser-hood, emboldens him to drive episodes more often as the primary comic force, alternating with the otherwise more structurally well-positioned Charlie, who still gets a decent amount of narrative exploration as well (again, compared to what’s ahead).
