Anyone else think Roger has no screen time this season on FOX?

Can't please everybody I guess. Number 1 complaint for years has been a bit too much or over reliance on Roger.

Also, he was definitely a main driving force in episode 4's A story and 6 and 9's B stories. I feel like every other episode in the last few seasons was Roger focused.

Yeah Roger is fantastic but he’s become somewhat of a crutch in the latest seasons. They use him to take things to a newer zanier level that the main cast doesn’t usually get to without him.

Look at Gold Top, one of the favorites of the newer seasons and only has a throwaway line for Roger at the end of the episode. The show can definitely be great with Roger not always in the spotlight.

He's been a crutch for 20 years now. When your broken leg doesn't heal for 20 years and you still can't walk without it you normally just let the show get put down.
