Moose watches Arrested Development

Really wasn't enthused by the idea of Buster losing a hand, but it's working out pretty well.

Oh, and Tobias is now pretending to be an elderly female housekeeper for some retarded reason. It's dreadful. I hope he dies somehow.

Just found out that Gob is Steve Holt's father. I predict this will lead to a misunderstanding of some sort with George Michael where he will probably overhear someone talking about how Maeby (or however it's spelled) had a crush on her cousin and he'll think it's him.

Yeah, Franklin's pretty cool.

Nearly finished season 2. There was a really weird moment in the penultimate episode where someone put their hand over the camera. Plus the narrator started talking about how good at narrating he was. That kind of crap really bugs me.

Season 3 is crazy. Like, full on mental. Also, that cousin situation did not play out like I expected.

Buster and Lindsay have barely done anything this season. Well, Lindsay's trying to have an affair with Bob Loblaw, which means we get to hear people say Bob Loblaw a lot, which is good. But other than that they haven't done much.

Tobias is still not funny, although the analrapist joke was pretty great. The whole thing with Rita took up too many episodes I think.

Overall it's as good as it ever was though.

I was bored at work and my mind wandered and I had a crazy thought. What if that fake blind lady (forgot her name again) is Maeby's biological mother? There's kind of a physical resemblance, they're both huge liars, fake blind lady is (or rather was supposed to be) a surrogate mother, Maeby wasn't conceived naturally, and the narrator did say that Maeby and George Michael might not be biological cousins.

Hey, Tobias is actually dying now. That's cool, even if it is for a stupid-as-shit reason.

Finished.

Even though it was shorter than the others, season 3 still dragged a bit. Wasn't a fan of Rita. But the last 3 episodes were really good.

On a side note, this is definitely the most incest-heavy sitcom I've ever seen, even though I don't think (if I kept track right) any of it was really incest.

now you have to rewatch it.

I'm going to buy the DVDs for that.

Again and again. And again and again and again and again.

Well, Amazon had the 3 season boxset for £18, so I bought it.

But seriously, everyone hated Tobias right?

How can you hate the first ever analrapist?

I wish his hair had killed him.

Without Tobias there would be no Carl Weathers.

Or this:

Also, you should probably read this thread here and appreciate how deep some of the humor in AD is.

Like, did you realize that Tobias was a black man? Is that why you hate him? Racist.

That would have been terrible. But it's Tobias, so whatever.

Rewatching the show, I do like him a bit more, but only when he's being an analrapist.

"Here he comes. Here's John Wayne. 'I'm not gonna cry about my pa. I'm gonna build an airport and put my name on it.' Why Michael? So you can fly away from your feelings?"

Busters line "I never thought I'd miss a hand so much" was pretty great. Him being in the play as Captain Hook would have been amazing foreshadowing but I really don't think it supposed to be him the first time they showed it.

"What if I never get to reach out and touch that hand of his again?" *dark music cue*

Tobias's best moment;

No, Gob is the best character.

I agree.
