The third season is a lot like... something like... something liken to, say... a fan-fiction series... And it would be fans of the first two seasons who are fans of a show about... actually about... women's wrestling... which is completely gone at this point... And that fan gets an idea, like, "Hey, what if these wonderful characters went to... VEGAS! YES!!!"
At one point during the rudimentary stages of rehearsing the Vegas show in the previous episode, Sam's going over the steps, and he says, "and wrestle... wrestle... wrestle..." as if he were basically brushing it off as something on the periphreal, and the sad thing is, that's what's happened here...
As a fan it's still a great show; however I think wrestling should have been more important, and getting prepared for a live Vegas show isn't as suspenseful as getting ready for something televised, and that HAS TO BE GOOD OR ELSE...
There's simply no more OR ELSE here... It's really become a kind of Wrestling Show version of another 80's staple, CHEERS, with Sam... perfectly named... and the cute but klutzy, brainy, over-thinking Diane... or rather, Ruth... The entire season is more about them almost hooking up than all the girls having their own particular problems... It's no longer an ensemble... Not really..
Anyhow, re-watching this series means that once you get to this season, it's like basking in the GLOW (like that?) of what's already shined.
