Last night's 2 episodes were absolutely hilarious. The movie references (like Godzilla and Pretty Woman) were fantastic. And GOB...that guy...so damn funny. "I'm gonna put her crown ontop of my head, if you know what I'm saying." ROFLMFAO.
This is the best damn show ever!
ANYONG!
A question, maybe I missed it, but when did George Michael and Anne get back together? Or did it just happen?
They broke up and got back together in the same episode ("Good Grief", the fourth episode of Season 2), unless there's some other time that I've forgotten. They broke up because Ann thought that Michael was interfering too much with their relationship. Michael invited her to George Sr.'s wake (not realizing that they'd broken up) and George Michael and Ann got back together there.rickvanr said:

Yeah, and they were together during all of season two, but then they broke up with her at the end of season two when GM and Maeby kissed.
Oh, OK, I remember George Michael and Maeby kissing near the end of that episode but am not remembering that he broke up with Ann.rickvanr said:
It's Annabell. Because, you know...she's shaped like a.... SAY! How bout we go do something together? 
I'm sorry, I find this show to be too much. Too MUCH FUN!

Yeah, that whole british thing is driving me nuts. I wish they'd just end it :/
I loved the godzilla sequence too - oh, and the 'chicken' impersonations at the start of series 3 were hilarious too (not sure which ep)

They've been doing the chicken dance since the beginning of the series. It's been much funnier in past seasons.

Yeah, I loved the scene where they're all in the office and GOB and Buster start parading around like Godzilla, and it cuts to George SR. doing the Godzilla scream, I was laughing so hard I was crying.
Not looking good, guys.
Man I hate FOX.

Hopefully someone else will pick it up. This show would go great on NBC along with its other non-laugh-track comedies (i.e. "The Office" or "My Name is Earl"). That or HBO...I think anyone who appreciates shows like "Curb" or "Extras" would probably like AD.

I was also thinking it would fit in well with some of NBC's comedies, but I can't imagine they'll pick the show up due to its low ratings. I'm guessing HBO would be the best bet right now. I might have to consider subscribing to HBO if they do pick up AD.MattG said:

WTF?
This is BS. This is the best show on TV, period. It's well-thought out, executed well, and their cutting it? And what's with people NOT watching? Do people NOT know what a good show is any more? People wanna just watch crap like Joey and WB edited re-runs of Sex & the City? GAH! It's time to go Jihad on Fox, and non-watchers alike!

WTF?
Just another show that's going to become a casuality of being on the FOX network. They don't promote it, they give it crappy timeslots, it gets preempted by sports all the time, and then they wonder why it does so poorly?!
This like, totally ruined my vacation.

Yeah I'm one of the posters there!!! Everybody over there is super-pissed. Wow...
Usa?
I think it would fit more into a USA network kinda thing, but I doubt they have the budget for it. I can't believe the show never got ratings. Fox itself I believe is to blame for that.

I agree with you that the production costs probably put it outside of the USA Network's price range. I also agree that FOX didn't do enough to promote the show. I admittedly don't watch a lot of other shows on FOX (other than "House"), but I just never see commercials for AD. It was very much a word-of-mouth thing that drew me in to the show.msbsound said:
Tonight's episode is very funny as always
"I don't think this time there will be an 'I'm Oscar' web page"
"Yah, I think I'm going to do a podcast"

Tonight's episode was pretty funny...the podcast thing was great
Poor Tobias; he looks pretty awful. I liked his comment about the "Gay-la"
Finally a new episode tonight. It was pretty funny in how obvious many of the jokes were. Also a huge amount of guest stars gave me quite the chuckle.
Tonight's episode was brilliant...what a way to go out, a bunch of jabs at Fox. The Bluths making every pathetic attempt to get people to support their family, all alluding to the fact that the show can't seem to generate a big enough fan base to not get cancelled. Too funny!!
