I loved this show as a kid, it was the highlight of my Friday night for the better part of a decade. But I must say, after rewatching the series during the pandemic lockdowns I think the quality noticeably dipped after Matthew Lawrence joined the cast at the beginning of season 5. And seasons 6-7 are just awful.
I also think it was at it’s best in the first and second seasons. At a certain point they decided to make Corey something of a goody two-shoes that was constantly getting roped into trouble by Shawn. But originally Corey was a much more normal kid who got himself into just as much trouble as Shawn and was perfectly capable of being the ringleader himself.
