I'd like to discus where Maybe came from.

OK, when a man wants to prove to a women that he's not...

Buster: What about me?

Marta: I'm not exactly sure who you are.

Buster: So that's what feels like to get hit in the face.

I liked it when you saw the shot of Tobias swimming trunks fall to the floor... and then followed it with a sock.

Anyone want to bet that a possible pregancy storyline might occur?

The "preview" had Tobias celebrating his new freedom by walking around naked. AHHH!

EDIT: Fixed it.

No, but that's what makes it even funnier.

The one thread where it doesn't matter if the previews are put in spoilers and that's where the spoiler tags are used.

Am I in two-thirds of a hospital room?

Great episode.

"I want to dance. Make love to a woman. Open a checking account."

"This is wrong. Not hot-wrong, just regular wrong."

"You love me"
"Call it what you will. I'm tired of paying Lucinda to wash one dish."

"My brother said it's OK for us to do it."

And I loved how no cameras, even the ones filming the episode, were allowed in the court.

How do they do it? Every single episode is a high point; not a dud in the bunch. I don't think I've ever seen a run of episodes on network TV with such a consistant level of excellence.

Good lord. You don't want Fox execs to hear you talking like that. We'd like it to get renewed.

This show is so self-aware-ly funny.

Anyone else get all grossed out and disturbed by the blue jeans and sock, or just the prospect of Lindsay and Tobias getting funky?

I thought that part of the show was really funny. He's so worried about being naked that he covers up everything.

"So THAT's what getting punched in the face feels like!"

Favorite two lines of the episode:

George Michael: Was Aunt Lindsay ever pregnant?
Gob: Sure. Dozens of times.

And in reference to Buster being told as a small child to curl up in a ball on the ground when being attacked (by bears, it turns out), and then asking Michael what it would be like to be attacked now...?

Michael: Well, you'd make a bigger ball

I just about died when the guy in the bear suit threatened to beat Buster up for his lunch money.

This is one series I can't wait for on DVD!

I especially love the fake "previews!" Awesome writing... so many subtle jokes!!

Henry Winkler used to be the coolest man on television.

Ronny Howard does a great job as narrator.

So was Maebe conceived from Lindsay's egg and a donor, or what?

I think they were implying that it was Linday's egg and Tobias' sperm, but that it just had to be done in a tube.

I was under the impression that Tobias was sterile, but I could have been confused...

They never actually answered the question. We don't actually know where Maebe came from. It's possible that after spending all that money, she was conceived the "natural" way.

That would destroy George Michael's plan though

I thought one of the most hilarious things was Gob saying "brother" in languages other than Spanish...and that he took 4 years of Spanish

The camera thing was hilarious as well...this is just one of the best thought out shows around IMO...been watching it since the beginning. Even Entertainment Weekly's TV section says, "what do we have to say in this space for you to watch the show?"

Another excellent show last night


this show has more comedy in a single episode than a lot of shows on TV today do in their entire season
