I love Shepard, but he’s got a lot of insecurities. My feelings about the series haven’t really changed since the episodes I saw when it debuted — it’s not a good show, and it’s not a terrible show. As this season opens, Rooster is missing and late for his first day of work. On The Ranch, a multi-camera comedy revolving around the dysfunctional Bennett family on their Colorado ranch, Shepard will play Luke Matthews, a former soldier who has come to Garrison with some history concerning the Iron River Ranch.

Shepard is not a series regular — he just signed on as the male lead opposite Lake Bell in Fox’s comedy pilot Bless This Mess — and is not a replacement for former The Ranch co-lead Danny Masterson the way Kutcher was for Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, sources said. "The Rooster may be be MIA but The Ranch is back and it’s incredible," he wrote. The That ’70s Show alum was let go in December, amid resurfaced sexual assault accusations, with one episode left to film from the first 10 episodes of The Ranch‘s third season. Colt, believing his brother is still alive, is not on board.

The cast is beyond incredible. Masterson took to social media to weigh in on the sitcom continuing without him, and he had nothing but praise. It allows Colt to find some closure at Rooster’s funeral, which features a lot of crying from Kutcher and Sam Elliot, and I don’t care who you are or how bad a show might be, if watching Sam Elliot cry doesn’t get to you, you are not human.

Last week, The Ranch debuted Part 6 (Season 3B) on Netflix without its co-lead, Danny Masterson. Before his disappearance, Rooster had been dating the local bartender/drug addict, Mary (Megyn Price) (aside: It’s strange to see Danny Masterson, who played a teenager in That ’70s Show date Megyn Price, who played a mother of three on Grounded for Life, which aired at the same time). For the record, Rooster’s body is never found, which I’m sure is a way to allow them to leave the door open for Masterson’s return. The remaining 10 episodes are being filmed this year after a hiatus. They are my family. The actor, who also acted as an executive producer, was dropped last winter from the series after multiple women came forward accusing Masterson of sexual assault.

The Rooster may be MIA but @THERANCHNETFLIX is back and it’s incredible. We want to hear from you! Also, why does Ashton Kutcher’s character — born and raised in Colorado — have a Southern accent? Eventually, Colt receives a package from Rooster, which suggests that maybe Rooster did, in fact, take his own life. And that’s that. Following Danny's exit from the show, The Ranch cast Punk'd's Dax Shepard as Beau's PTSD-stricken veteran nephew, Luke Matthews. Much love y’all. Dax Shepard has been tapped as a recurring guest star in the second half of The Ranch’s upcoming 20-episode third season on Netflix. Buy a Pajiba T-Shirt at the Pajiba Store, its first without accused rapist Danny Masterson. Dax Shepard has been tapped as a recurring guest star in the second half of The Ranch‘s upcoming 20-episode third season on Netflix. The tone is also weird: Some of the actors (Sam Elliot, Debra Winger) perform as though they are in a stage drama, while some of the actors (Ashton Kutcher, Elisha Cuthbert) perform as though they’re in a multi-cam sitcom. I’ve worked with most of the crew since the mid 90s on Cybil,70s,Men at Work and until last year The Ranch. Unfortunately, it took four episodes to relay the entire story of Rooster’s demise, and six episodes before Dax is introduced. Shepard’s recent credits include the feature CHIPS, which he wrote, directed and starred in, and Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later. I stuck with it until the end, mostly out of inertia, and I’ve now seen 10 more episodes of The Ranch than anyone should ever have to experience.
