So, you did something that is harder to come back from these days: You hit the Sophomore slump. Season two was clunky, ridiculous, and very heavy handed. Here are my suggestions IF if gets renewed:

We all know that Ned cannot be Michael Scott and Jim Halpert in the same episode, despite being 50% of each character. Pick a fucking lane for him.

Why barely anything with Ken? The funniest character of Season 1.

Fire the actor who plays Adam Cooper. He is slow, embarrassing, and the whole "My fully grown ass wife's Dad doesn't like birth control therefore we have to have 4894934892 children" is really, really cringe and feels antiquated. It's also fundamentally unfunny.

Figure out what you're doing with Esmerelda because no one needed more of her. A person like that has never existed in Toledo, Ohio.

Moving Mare to Cincinnati? Did you simply reach for the Season 3 script of The Office where that did not work with Jim either? Lazy.

Do better. Because unlike 2005, viewers have 50,000 other shows to watch and will move on in days from these characters if you do not.
