I also said it's because it needed to establish itself first because they, on a kid's channel, couldn't just start out with continuity and making the characters anything but easy to understand one-notes.
I think it was great since the beginning, but that's because I already liked the characters, I wasn't saying it gets good when the characters start getting fleshed out, that'd be on your opinion since you personally didn't find the charm at first like I and others did.
i like the character dynamics, settings, stories, references, etc. You don't like the characters, maybe not the other stuff either, I dunno. I was just explaining why the characters come off the way they are.
And yes and no, the series synopsis says the characters are mid 20 somethings that are trying to get into their new roles in life, like having a job, a place to live, responsibilities, etc, while also dealing with the temptations of relaxing. Through the series they start working more, never in a big huge change, but they develop at a pace.
I think before they went to space they started being slightly better at it, but CN wanted it to stay the same in each season and keep the show at its core. Benson was originally going to be friends with them more, or at least on good terms, but CN kept saying it needed to be subtle enough for him to remain the angry boss.
Off the top of my head I remember twice when they attempted getting them on the same page, an episode where they were in a car together and Benson says he doesn't hate them, and just wants them to be better at their jobs and that it's his job to see it happen. Then again when benson and rigby were stuck in a room together and Benson said he had dad issues and Rigby said something like "people expect me to be a clown, so i am", and they understood each other and became basically friends.
