Of course this follows them FIRING the actor who had played Riggs for the first two seasons, who they replaced with Stiffler himself, Sean William Scott. Yes, he is still around.

I haven't seen any of the new episodes yet, still working my way through season 2, but it's really a brilliant show. Both the leads have been fantastic, and Riggs being a loose cannon is a good thing, it's what that character is all about. It's why Mel Gibson played him so good, because he's a fucking lunatic too! It's a shame they fired him and thought they'd be able to keep the show going by replacing him.

I have no doubts with this news that Wayans is calling it quits because of this. He's being political saying he's just old and tired, but that isn't it. He loved this shit before this new season.

I really feel like their real life relationship paralleled the characters of Riggs and Murtaugh. It's like they hate each other and cause grief but they love each other too and it just wasn't the same when they were separated.

Never watched the show but yeah heard the guy was fired because he was just basically a piece of shit and even Wayans thought so.

That's not how the relationship of Riggs and Murtaugh was at all.

Uh... It's a very simplified way of putting it, but yes it is. It's the same in the show as it was in the movies. Riggs drives Murtaugh crazy but underneath it all he loves him.

It's not underneath at all. It's right on the surface. There is no hate there.

Yo, watch the fuckin show. Hell, watch the movie as Murtaugh gave Riggs a gun to shoot himself. Every fucking episode involved them getting into a major conflict with each other.

I think it's very true to them. A series dives much deeper into characters than movies do. Watch it and you'll realize how good it is.

It was a great show, Haven't seen the new season as without Riggs it isn't Lethal Weapon, no matter what they call it.
