Everyone should watch as it sounds like if it doesn't pick up in ratings this season, there won't be a third. It's on at 8:30 pm tonight on Fox!

Amen! If a bunch of old ladies with those boxes on their TVs kill this show, I'll snap some necks. Best show on television right now. I just watched the DVDs twice in the last two weeks...it's just that good. Tobias joins the Blue Man group tonight! :D Oh sweet sweet nectar, give us Arrested Development.

I always thought Arrested Development was pretty entertaining, but not really funny at all. I pretty rarely find myself laughing at it, except when they go to real comic extremes (like the "blind" Julia Louis-Dreyfus character). SportsNight was the cooler good-but-not-funny show, and Scrubs is the best "actually funny" show ;)

Tobias Fünke : Do you see me more as the respected dramatic actor or more of the beloved comic actor?
Carl Weathers : Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.
Tobias Fünke : Yes, that's fine, but I would like to focus on my acting, Mr. Weathers. I did give you my last $1, 100.
Carl Weathers : Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I'd go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup... baby, I got a stew going.
Tobias Fünke : [pause] I think I'd like my money back.


GOB Bluth: I'm a failure. I can't even fake the death of a stripper.

Michael : [on Buster's bike accident] You were flying today, buddy.
Buster : Yes, I was flying. But a little too close to the sun.
Lucille : You let him go in the sun?

This show is hilarious.

Not sure if it's worthy of another topic so I'll just briefly mention it here. New Malcom in the Middle premieres tonight also.

Started out slow by setting up the new season, but damn the end was funny.

The bit with the Fonz at the end was classic.
 
Anyong: I'll play Uncle Sam. It's better than the part they gave me; "guy who calls in attack of Pearl Harbor."

Buster: Mom's gonna send me to the army just because the fat guy dared her to.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I love this show :lol

" is this its second season?"

That was great. It hasn't lost a beat. Yes, this is the second season, buy the first season's DVDs and watch it as quickly as you can :lol

I've never watched a single episode of this show ever.

I had no idea who the characters were or what was going on.

Despite this, I still found the episode to be fucking hilarious. I think I'll be picking up the DVDs.

That's great to hear....especially since if you know the characters, and their history, it's much more enjoyable. Hopefully this season it will get the ratings to go along with the undeniable quality.

Thought it was a little weak compared to some of the latter episodes in season 1... good to see some first timers enjoying it though. Buy the DVD!

Also my first time watching. Also found it hilarious. I was hysterical when the magician turned the 100 dollar bill in to 100 pennies. Don't even ask me why, it just struck me the right way.

Watche it thought it was funny and all but I find it hard to watch this show knowing that that fine ass piece of meat Portia De Rossi likes lunch meat rather than sausage. :D

Did she spend the break in a tanning salon or something? She looks really, really bronze all of a sudden. I just re-watched season 1 and she certainly looks different.

I've figured it out! She's.....shinier.

It was also great that all the board members started desperately grabbing for the pennies

:lol No shit. The thought of a bunch of suits who make six or seven figures a year crawling over each other for a handful of pennies was hilarious.

This was my first episode as well, and I rather enjoyed it. Seemed pretty accessible, I got into it pretty quick. Pretty funny show, so I added the season one discs to my Netflix queue. I'll catch up when I get the chance.

I wonder if we'll see more of Ed Helms or if that was just a real brief spot.

If you've seen episodes from the first season, he does stuff like that all the time. Just taking money and do a magic trick, but still keep the money. So hilarious.

The way the coins just spilled out and the absurdity of the trick.

I'm glad Grandpa porked a Chinese Muslim
Wait, was that really Michael Moore in the episode, or did they splice together footage from F911 or use an impersonator for that bit?

Must have been the latter, as they tried not to show his face. I don't think the audio was lifted, merely some guy doing an impersonation.

Loved the episode. One of their best ones yet. I downloaded it off suprnova and was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem as me. Whenever I download files encoded by this group hdtv.lol, the framerate is kind of choppy. It wasn't always this way. I think I've downloaded all the codecs I need. Is this just a sloppy encoding job? Thanks in advance.
 
What sucks is LOL cut off the ending to the first episode. Typically groups will not include the teaser to the next episode, but the thing with Arrested Development, the teaser isn't about next week, it's a part of this weeks episode. I had to go to Tivo to find out what I missed.
