I've always enjoyed the character, and he just keeps getting more sleezy. ( "You can't tell, but I just winked at you." ) I'm also enjoying how Michael is gradually becoming as selfish as eveyone else on the show... or maybe he's always been that way, and I'm just noticing now. In any case, I'm loving it. But is it just me, or are they not giving Oscar enough to do?

I like the show, its just the hairless guy Ive gotten tired with. And I've only seen two episodes. And for Maritin Short, if they didnt have the over-exaggerated(i know spelt wrong) broken legs gag, it might expected to be funnier.

David A: Yeah, I read the wrong episode description. She will return more often this season, as will Julia Louis-Dryfuse as Maggie Lizer . I wrote the wrong name is all. Well, I was lucky enough to see the entire first season on dvd, so I didn't have that problem of getting lost. But there have been like two or three episodes this season that I've missed, and it'd be really nice if FOX would let you play catch up. After all, they've already reran like 3 episodes of the Simpsons that aired this year, why can't they do that for AD? This may be from one of the episodes I missed, but whatever happened to Anyong?

I can't believe that I've never noticed this thread before.
Well, anyway, last night's episode was pretty nice. Funny, as always, and Short wasn't as bad I would have thought. Yeah, you can't really buy him as a 90 year old, but there were still enough funny moments to go around (I loved Buster putting his military training to good use, and Michael prompting Tobias to tape record himself was a nice touch--as was the fact that, as Lrrr said, Tobias didn't get it). Also, evan, I had a little bit of a problem with what Michael did, but if you consider the fact that he thought the business was going under and was going to be sold, I guess that he thought it was the right thing to do--he had to make Uncle Jack happy.

Originally posted by FishyJoe: On the plus side, Martin Short was better than I expected. On the minus side, I still hated him. Way too exaggerated, and I just don't buy him as a 90 year old(even a scary Jack Lelanne-ish 90 year old). Yeah, they didn't even really try to make him look old. It's like they told us he was 90 years old, and we were just supposed to pretend that he actually looked like he was. Other than Martin Short, I thought that it was a pretty good episode. Originally posted by evan: It seemed really out of character for Michael to pimp out his sister to a creepy old guy. Usually he's more upright than that. I thought so too, but then I remembered what you said: I rewatched the extended pilot with commentary on the DVD, and Jason Bateman admitted that Michael's always been a dick. It just so happens that sometimes he snaps out of it at the wrong time. Of course, his dickishness was necessary to survive against the rest of his family, but it's always been there.
