I gotta say... I don't hate it. There was one episode with the villains and it would have annoyed me so much if I would have had to wait one more week to find out the episode after that is just slice of life stuff again.
I wish each episode had an after credits scene "meanwhile at Grogar's cave" because each time I see the villains I am entertained.

The way Tirek snatched that pie real quick had me burst out laughing.
And I wish they'd be happy together as a villain patchwork family when FiM is finally over.
