I traditionally do not *dislike* it, it just doesn't stay in my brain, at all. I remember a couple of recurring guest stars, and Piz, and the one main arc with the head-shaving, but the episodes aren't memorable, to the point where my husband will remember my having watched an S3 joint, but I won't recall it at all.
Rote VM is still better than most shows, and I felt for them vis-a-vis trying to make the transition to college work, because it almost never does. But yeah, the time jump should have happened here.
