The level of quality in this series looks eerily like a sine wave, and it seems to correlate almost 1:1 with the strength of the subject they choose to parody. Season one was the most grounded, and was able to use that for a more deadpan tone that season two largely lacked. Season three is even more zany, to the point where the overarching story-treated more like a joke in season one and two-is played completely straight.
