By avoiding May sweeps, she would not have to justify renewing the show as intensely as she would have to explain why with lower ratings. Basically, the show IS coming back next season...
Fox isn't a charity and "AD" doesn't pull in the ratings. Enjoy it while it lasts. |
You know, I've tried for some time to get my wife to watch this show. She kind of half-heartedly watches it because she knows I love it so much, but either it just doesn't appeal to her, or I have to get her to watch all of season 1 first (she's seen bits and pieces). She also disliked Curb Your Enthusiasm, and only recently has she come around on stuff like Scrubs and Malcolm in the Middle. I think she prefers more of the "stock" sitcom, like Everybody Loves Raymond or Friends. So I see firsthand the kind of challenge this show has in trying to get new viewers...
She'll come around, though. It hardly matters since we're not a Nielson house, but every little bit helps, right? |
• Draven • I'm sure it will be back next season. I'm thinking it'll only last a half-season at the most. I don't buy the "corporate line" since things like that have been said about other shows (like "Karen Sisco" and "Farscape") and they ended up being cancelled too. I seem to remember a lot of buzz from the execs about how great "Wonderfalls" was too. Jason Bateman was channelling David Brent in the scene where they argued about his election results. :lol: I half expected him to awkwardly grin at the camera. das |

When Ann was putting up the poster for George Michael to help him on the school election, the acronyms read:

"Cold Case" kept CBS on top in the night's second hour, delivering an 11.4/18. ABC was well off the pace in second with a repeat of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." NBC took third with the 4.6/7 for "The Contender," which provided far better demographic numbers than its overall total would suggest. FOX was fourth with "The Simpsons" (5.1/8) and "Arrested Development" (3.5/5). The WB's second hour of "Charmed" was last.

Does anyone remember that Star Wars kid video that went around the Internet about a couple of years ago? Does anyone have a copy of it? It looks very similar to the one the GM did.

ON a side note... I have the DVD set, but haven't watched it yet. Anyone know if they keep bleeping out the swear words in the DVD? For some reason, I think it's much funnier that way... |

So many "LOL" moments this episode!
The best line of the entire episode: "Steve Holt is a <i>bastard</i>." I totally lost it. :lol: |
"I don't think this is a real toilet..."
And Ann getting a little too excited talking about marital sex. :lol: |
when someone (which turned out to be GOB) called the Indian kid a terrorist, I was rolling as well as all the other racially insensitive things he was yelling. the fact that no one cared was even better.
|
It's quite possible Buster's "I'M A MONSTER!" is the funniest recurring line ever on TV. I thought it was just a 2 week bit, but they pulled it out during one of the final scenes again. Brilliant.

Loved the "biblical" Gallant and . . . Goofus. It was perfect because GOB is Goofus all grown up. :lol:

My bad--it was the narrator. |
Didn't Ron Howard's character in "The Music Man" have a lisp?
Dude, I just blew my mind. |

I love this show, and it's amazingly hilarious, but this post could be funnier than anything on the show... |

Who did he tie with? George Michael said something like, "I got 3%. I tied with 'School Sucks' and The Fonz." I lost it with "School Sucks". :lol:

Loved the callback to GOB's "Macaronni... Let me finish.... Salad". What was the exact line in this episode?

Shouldn't GOB's show have been "Illusions in the office"?

yeah, Chew, you're right. I remember that, too.

Breaking! Gail Berman Quits Fox For Paramount THR and Variety are reporting that Fox entertainment head Gail Berman has dumped Rupert Murdoch’s slice of television heaven for a movie job (“the top creative post”) underneath Brad Grey at the New Paramount™. Whoa, didn’t see this one coming. Berman’s ditching Fox in the middle of pilot season, and God only knows what’s going to happen to Arrested Development now. Well, God and anyone whose first thought is that it’s probably toast. And what happens to Paramount bigshot Donald DeLine? Is he toast as well? And will he be toasting himself or get toasted by Grey? Too many toast questions make our head hurt, so see the trade paper coverage for the fun, factual portion of the story, including info on Berman’s possible successors and the liberal use of the terms “ankle” and “prexy.” She made a huge mistake. The biggest supporter of AD at fox is now moving on... This does not bold well for the future of AD come next season. FUCK! |
