I just got all 3 seasons on DVD for Easter. I am happy.

[Reply #201 on:]

Tastes a lot like sad.

[Reply #202 on:]

Squeeeeee! Zach Braff!

I hope he's in the episode more...

[Reply #203 on:]

"In the episode more"?  Is that exactly what it sounds like?

[Reply #204 on:]

...wait what now?

I just started the ep and i thought it may have just been a cameo, but he was in it a few more times.

EDIT: "Why do i eat breakfast before i come here..."

Was there an episode missinge between 301 and 302? I've never seen a "previously on" before... and there seemed to be a lot that i hadn't seen, like the house arrest stuff...

[Reply #205 on:]

No I believe they put that in for a joke much like the fact that when you see on the next episode.. significant events can occur which just follow on.

[Reply #206 on:]

Mmm, it just seemed like something they could've had a whole episode dedicated to, maybe they had one written and cause they only had a 13 ep series condensed it.

"Forget-me-nows" Heh.

[Reply #207 on:]

They didn't have the season shortened to 13 episodes until Episode 8 (which is why it was immediately followed by S.O.B.s), but the fan theory is that they deliberately rushed into that season's plot fearing the worst.

Pay close attention during Episodes 14 & 15 of Season 2 and you'll see hints to the storylines dropped from around there, too.

I missed half of what they were bleeping in the steve holt, triathalon ep.

"I hate it when they hire yanks to play brits, you can always tell."

Heh.

[Reply #209 on:]

Still, the best bleeping was in "Afternoon Delight"

Episode 14 seems to open in the middle of a situation, with Tobias having already moved out, and the model home being fumigated the week earlier. That one's just a fan theory, though - the one we know for sure is a dropped Tobias storyline towards the end that involved him taking a job at the Bluth company but actually being a mole.

Aspects of this were hinted at in both Sword of Destiny and The Righteous Brothers, with him applying for a job, attempting to take over when Michael's in the hospital, and eventually quitting with Michael simply responding "You worked here?" We all know that the house cutbacks in Sword of Destiny were referring to the episode cutbacks and the blueprints represented the scripts. When George Sr. asked Tobias if he had succeeded in being his mole, Tobias replied that he couldn't be due to the cutbacks.

The whole thing about Michael moving the Bluth company down a floor is a pun on how the writers compensated for the cutbacks - by dropping a story (pure fucking genius, I know  ). All the hints to the mole subplot suggest this was the dropped storyline - one of the writers or cast members had even said earlier in Season 2 that "Tobias becoming a mole" was something they were planning for later in that season, but they didn't end up officially using it until the following season's Mr. F.

TBA just stood for To Be Announced. They were trying to think of a disease to do their charity drive for but then just ended up doing the charity for "TBA". For no reason they decided to show the George Michael Star Wars tape at the charity drive.

[Reply #219 on:]

I thought that it turned out that there actually was a disease called TBA or something.

[Reply #220 on:]

No, there wasn't. They had the disease on the invitation to the charity drive down as "TBA" and when the drive came around and they hadn't thought of an actual disease, they just pretended the drive was actually for a disease called TBA and raised like $20,000 for it without telling anybody what it actually was.

Also, I just watched a ton of episodes, and I think one of my favorite things EVER is at the VERY end of Public Relations: "...and Buster moves to the kitchen."

[Reply #221 on:]

Heh. I watched all three season in a week! 20 hours worth! Go me! It's like Firefly all over again... except that was only one season...

Oh, man, that always slays me.

I watched the whole series within a week back in October - five of those days were school days. It was amazing.

[Reply #223 on:]

I'm currently watching the whole series within a week, heh.

[Reply #224 on:]

I already did![/fry]

[Reply #225 on:]

How I miss those DVDs.  Maybe I'll buy them for myself while my sister's are in the wind.  I could totally see myself watching them all while here at work.

Just Wiki'd it, and it came up with some old Aussie show and i was like "Noes, that's not it, silly wiki" then i found the right page...

Jason Bateman as Larry Slimp, the gym teacher and only staff member that can teach.

Aww, I loved that show. Stephen Curry...it was awesome. Of course, I was only about 13 at the time so who knows what my judgement was like..but I was 11 when Futurama started and I loved that too..

Mother of crap, I remember that. From memory, it's the bestest.

It was a pretty funny show from what I recall.

Man, I don't think I can stand to look at this title for the rest of the year... no "douche chill?" And who the hell are you, anyway? Worst. Title. Ever.
