The showrunner for the season was Richard Appel. Several of the show's original writers, such as Paul Lieberstein, left in the middle of the season.Mike Judge, by some accounts, was not happy with the surrealism in this season, and felt that the writers were looking down on Hank and his way of life. Bobby and his friends growing up was a minor theme for the season.
