I really enjoyed them bringing back the subtle music cues as well.

"Your father isn't here"
cue sentimental music "Or maybe he is" - Oscar
and then cut the music abruptly when the next line comes.

I love it.

Best line was the last one with Buster and the puppet.

At 8 p.m., CBS stayed on top with the 9.5/15 for "Cold Case," though ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" closed strong with an 8.7/14. FOX's "The Simpsons" and "Arrested Development" could average only a 4.0/6 between them, which was enough to edge the anemic 3.6/6 for NBC's "The Contender." A second hour of "Charmed" kept The WB in fifth.

"I don't want no part of your tired ass country club, ya freak bitch"

And with that, we have the "line of the night".

Damn funny episode last night. Tobias nearly had me in tears.

DRG 04-04-05 04:41 PM

I loved the little funk snippet when Ann thinks they have Michael's blessing to have sex, and they cut to George Michael's bewildered look. Does anyone know what song that was?

kaempfer 04-04-05 06:28 PM

One thing I don't understand though, is why Maeby too old to be living in Balboa Tower?

I'm pretty sure that was original music by David Schwartz - there's a great jukebox of his music for the series on the Season One DVD.

I really enjoyed the episode - so many things seemed tied together, it was almost like a cliffhanger season finale.

My question is - are they really going to commit to Buster's hand being gone? Is it a joke they're willing to go all the way with, or will he get his hand back? Either way, it's been off for a long time and they have great commitment to it, but I'm very interested to see how much longer they have the hook.

I think they are committed to it... my guess is an "attachment of the week" type of deal....course there may be only two eps left.

Supermallet 04-04-05 08:49 PM

"You love me, I even saw you kissing my hand at night when you thought I was asleep."

"Oh, Michael, I haven't seen you in a week's time!"
"No, you saw me this morning. Remember? You tried to put a banger in my mouth."
"Oh, I, uh...did I? I'm so exhausted..."

And for me, the line of the night was actually

"Not now, Tobias."
"I AM Tobias, Michael, it's me!" *wink*

There's just something about the way David Cross delivered that line that had me in stitches.

Oh, also, being me, I just loved it when Lindsay offered the pre-engagement ring to George-Michael. ;)

Supermallet 04-04-05 08:51 PM

Oh, and I also loved George Sr. in the limo.

"Dad, the partition doesn't go all the way up, remember?"
"Just one feel!"

And Gob with the security guard was utterly classic.

That was great. Any sane person would have removed it earlier in the day when GM was asking about it.

If they make it another year just pray they don't drop a helicopter on him.

Really, to me all indicators say it has been renewed for a third season.

Merkin Muffley 04-04-05 11:23 PM

The best part of the episode, for me, wasn't even a line. It was when GOB was stopped by the security guard...the music got tense...and the camera zoomed into GOB's eyes, George Sr.'s eyes, then Franklin's eyes.

I almost pissed myself. I second thought, I think I actually did...

Some great lines mentioned, but Ron Howard made me laugh out loud.

"Lindsay was actually wearing the engagement ring on her toe. Roast beef."

:lol:

Was that really David Cross falling from the second floor, bashing his hand through the glass coffee table, and smashing his head into the sofa? If so, dear god that looks like it hurt... :(

sven 04-05-05 02:58 AM

FYI there are a couple new videos up at....

I was talking to a friend of mine last night, trying to get her to watch this. However, I told her to wait until season two comes out on DVD and get both seasons and watch them then. I know some people say that it can be picked up, but I just don't think the show would be as funny without seeing previous episodes.

Chew 04-05-05 06:13 AM

Another great episode. :lol:

Has anybody read any early word on when season 2 is coming out on DVD?

They played the same clip at the very end of the Pilot episode, when George Michael learns that he's going to be sharing a room with Maebe.

Mine was when Lucille wakes up in the limo:

"Why am I in a NORDSTROM'S bag?"

Like the insult and injury wasn't the kidnapping but the bag they chose to put her in. :lol:

I think it is too young... and Balboa Towers is a like a retirement-type building

Gunde 04-05-05 03:04 PM

No, Maebe was pretending to be younger than she actually was.
