I think it's a pretty decent timeslot. There are no huge hits on against it, so maybe folks who otherwise would not will give it a chance. Regards,

I believe Fox was considering offering them a two season pick-up (which they did do for "24") which would have kept the costs down vs. renewing again for the following season. This would also have gotten them up to around 84 episodes which would be enough for a syndication deal. They probably...

TravisR covered it somewhat in post 594, along with GOB's near-tears "That's exactly the kind of joke he would have loved" :) Regards,

Yes! That's the one! :emoji_thumbsup: Regards,

Once again, Buster intuits the truth about his parentage by completely misinterpreting what he is being told. :emoji_thumbsup: I also dug the return of the Peanuts music funk and the "This isn't Marc Cherry's house" explanation. Tobias had one of his better Freudian slips, too, which escapes...

Lucille has her own taunting chicken dance! I hope they find an excuse to get her, GOB, and Lindsay all cawing at once in the finale. :) Regards,

I laughed pretty hard at the puppet reaction shot. The whole Mario Joyner exchange sequence with the malfunctioning privacy window also set up GOB being forced to watch and hear his parents canoodling while driving the limo, which was a nice throw back to the S1 conjugal visit incident. I...

The "On the next..." bit with the drug sniffing dog going after Buster's claw that connected to the "hand kissing/roach clip" gag was a great topper. Tobias/Featherbottom: Michael! I haven't seen you in days Michael: Actually, you tried to put a banger in my mouth this morning You gotta...

The beauty of the end revelation, beyond all of the set-up with GOB saying that "when girls like that get pregnant they stay pregnant. I dated a girl like that...no I didn't", "Steve Holt is a bastard", etc. is that now Maeby is in the position of being attracted to her cousin, (assuming she...

Tobias' "junk" + a "Goofus and Gallant" reference + all items from last night's episode mentioned above = comedic genius. :) Regards,

The first episode deserves a little credit if only for the Amy Poehler photo montages (first with GOB, then in Abu Ghraib mode), the magazine cover, the "Mommy What Will I Look Like" photo, and the plot contrivance where George Sr. in his God robe tells Buster he is his father, and Buster learns...

The Ford product placement was the most amusing I have ever seen. The Mustang hood comment was funny, but the "discontinuing the Bronco because of association with fugitives -- what's this vehicle called? -- the Escape" bit was hilarious. Buster's "I'm a monster!" rampage was also very funny...

That was funny, but somehow, it was the "Four Minutes Later" (IIRC) subtitle that really sold the joke for me. :) Regards,

Nobody ever seems to be willing to let HBO live down Arli$$. The producers clearly got wind that Cameron Crowe was developing a sports agent film with Tom Cruise and decided that they could trump it by producing a series eclipsing Cruise's charisma with the raw universal appeal of Robert Wuhl...

Retreat! I miscalculated! :) Regards,

The hardest laugh for me came at the end. After the play at the plate, Gob mis-pronounced Begley Jr.'s character name. My wife turned to me and said, "Did he just say 'shitwell'?" I figured it was just a line flub, and then they revealed a few seconds later with a smile and some more lisping...

Michael: I can't talk right now. Lindsay: Really? What's wrong with your voice? Regards,

Does George Sr. strike you as the kind of guy who would spend his own walking around money when he could otherwise spend his company's or his family's. :) Regards,

I was trying to figure that out myself. The warning appeared before the episode started as well. The list of potentially objectionable words reads as follows: "Shtupping" (or something like that) - said by George Sr. "Penis" and "Tranny" - said by Maeby "Balls" - said most frequently and...

Another good bit of continuity humor was the "grades" of treason. The photograph supposedly proved that George Sr. engaged in "medium to heavy" treason vs. the "light" treason from previous episodes. :) Regards,

"Shuh-molly" :laugh: Regards,

Speaking of bringing back items such as the cornballer and the "slut" shirt... Wasn't that the same "magic box" used for hiding George Sr. towards the end that was used in the pilot episode? Regards,

The jokes were a bit broader and more repetetive than usual, but it's hard to complain when I am laughing so hard for so long. I loved the yellow pages ad for Ice's catering business that had the text at the bottom saying "See also: Bounty Hunter". I also love Michael's continued problem's...

Since the show has three times the gag density of any other half hour comedy on television, that would still leave more than enough laughs to satisfy anyone. :) Regards,

That was my (and my high-school Spanish teaching wife's) biggest laugh of the evening. The subtitles said "Now I have to take care of Buster", translating "el retardo" as "Buster". I wonder if that was really a joke for the Spanish speakers out there or if upon further reflection, they thought...

4.5 rating 7 share - basically flat compared to last week's 4.6(7). I went by the preliminary ratings at zap2it, so the actuals may be a bit different when things like football timeshifts are properly accounted for. Regards,

I think you meant to say "a traditional three camera show". Arrested Development is shot with multiple cameras doing simultaneous coverage, but not in the traditionally cost-effective "I Love Lucy but I don't love location shooting" way. :) Regards,
