| Let's see if this is really as good as everyone says it is. I'm going to watch episode 1 now, so I'll be back with opinions in about 20 minutes. | |

| I like it. Not sure yet how I feel about the narration but it allows to show to jump around as much as it does without being confusing so I'll give it a pass. Lindsay trying to cry was my favourite part, and "this blue part is obviously the land". | |

| Funny. I just got done re-watching the whole series recently. My first watchthrough brought about the new season and movie, now a second one makes the universe bring another viewer on board. Clearly... - Spoiler:

| My favourite moment of episode 2 was the way Tobias pronounced "elephunt". And "bumpy road ahead". And Job trying to throw the letter into the ocean.
Why hasn't anyone made me watch this before? You guys suck. | |

| First episode's kind of proof of concept that I didn't find that great. Two's better, but I think the show really picks up steam around episode three. | |

| Episode 3 wasn't as good as episode 2. Less funny anyway.
Are the "Next time on..." bits always just quick jokes and never actually part of the next episode? | |

| There's at least two that do preview what the next episode will be about. | |

| Well, you catch something new every time you watch. There's some incredible foreshadowing on this show.
I made a list of all the recurring jokes and subtle stuff I could on this forum somewhere. You should look at it once you finish the series. | |

| Watched 5 episodes now. The narration is beginning to wear thin. It's like the shows go by so fast that there's no time for a set up and a punchline, so the narration just does the set up. I'll get used to it though. It's definitely a good show. | |

| So I blitzed through the first 10 episodes. Really liking it. Tobias is probably my least favourite character at the moment just because he's a bit too crazy. With the never nude and talking at cross purposes to end up in silly situations... It's not very good. | |

| Eh, Buster's not that great either. Although he's better than Tobias. | |

But seriously, Franklin is the best character. Come on.

| Unless I haven't been payin any attention, there is no Franklin yet. I'm up to the episode where Tobias finally gets naked. Hopefully he'll become more bearable now. | |

| He had this complex where he could never be naked and it wasn't funny. | |

| Also, the show does that thing that the US Office did of using a documentary format but never commiting to the reality of it. Although it's not as bad in Arrested Development because the camera's only been acknowledged once, indirectly, so I can ignore it. I still found it odd and annoying though. | |

| Justice jumping in to the bin was the funniest moment of the last few episodes. This show is getting really crazy now. | |

| Finished season 1. Thoughts:
-I like it. -Michael's relationship with that fake blind woman just kind of vanished, huh? -Buster got better toward the end of the season. I like his rivalry with the Korean kid. -Kitty's nipples. -So Lucille and George both slept with each other's identical twin? Weird. -I think Oscar might be Buster's father. -Lucille might be my favourite character, I can't decide. Of the ones I like, none stand out above the others. | |

| The Snoopy dog in the background was weird. I assume there was a point to it but I'm not that familiar with Snoopy. | |

| Buster is much better in season 2. Lindsay's doesn't really do anything now, which is a shame because I liked her early on. George Michael is better in season 2 as well, I love the Ann thing. Gob... he has his ups and downs. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I hate him.
Tobias is still pretty awful. Walking through the plant was a good little bit though.
Just noticed that Gob and his wife are pictured eating the Skip's Scramble. Can't be bothered to go back and see if that was always there but if it was that's cool. | |
