I thought in general the premiere was funny. What I didn't like was Banya winning out over Jerry. I never liked Charlie Brown because I was tired of him always losing. I hope Jerry doesn't turn into the same type of character. I like him because he's above the rest of the lovable losers on the show. Well, not completely, but mostly. They are all morally depraved anyway, but that is what makes the show so funny!
