JackFetch Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The take your daughter to work day episode (season 1)is miles better than everything else so far. I hope it stays this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Up to episode ten of the new series. I have not been disappointed at all, it's as good as it's ever been in my book. The joke about the photos that inspire Ron Howards films almost killed us. This whole thing is so dense it's going to need 3 or more viewings to get all the jokes, just like the original I'm sure there's dozens of jokes I'm not getting yet.

dc20willsave Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I just finished it off. Wow. Just... wow. They need a season 5 and a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm not done yet, but I'm loving the whole Pulp Fiction narrative structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Loved it. Echoing Will on the need for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I'm at Maebe's ep, and I'm loving it. It's a lot darker than I expected, but I'm loving how it's all coming together, and the cameos in this are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I finished it, thought it was good, but not great. The original cast, including Ron Howard were all great, but every other new character, especially Terry Crews are forgettable at best, and terrible at worst. The first few episodes were average at best, but it peaks with the Tobias and Lucille interactions, those, and their episodes are gold.

Kenny Evil Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The George Michael college/birthday party killed me. It was Michael's peak of assholish behaviour. I loved Herbert love, even if he was less cartoonish than Herman Cain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The ending certainly makes continuation seem likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 They'd goddamn better'd. I don't want another great dark period. So, favorite eps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 The Gob, Maeby, and George Michael episodes were incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 While I noticed the difference in appearance when I was watching the other day, yeah, people get older. If anything, it's weightloss. I chalked a lot of it up to the long wing she wore during the first few episodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Age is part of it, but she suffers from anorexia and bulimia. Her body's changed due to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm going to be honest. I watched the first three seasons over the past few days. I don't know why it was brought back. It had a perfectly good ending that brought the series full circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 So, I figured I'd post some more thoughts on the season after a second watch over. -GOB's arc is easily the best, followed by Lindsay's and George Sr. -Needed more Lucille and Maeby. -I really dislike the direction they took Michael. He was the moral center of the show, and now he's as bad as the rest of the family. I wonder if they're setting up a redemption arc. -John Slattery's Dr. Norman was easily the best new character, but Herbert Love was solid. I wasn't so into DeBrie or Marky Bark. Isla Fisher, while hot, was annoying (Annyong!) as hell, too. -The whole "Ron Howard Meta Stuff" was super, super weird. -The Richter Quintuplets joke was way, way overplayed. -Alan Tudyk and Mae Whitman returning was a welcome surprise. -Carl Weathers and James Lipton were a waste of time, too. -Loved Tobias's Fantastic Four Musical and Tommy Tune as Argyle Austero. Overall, a really, really fun season, but a flawed one. I'm interested to see what comes next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Michael was always dickish, he just wasn't as bad as the rest of the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 There's stealing an office chair and yelling at Buster and there's fucking your son's girlfriend. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 He was always on George Michael's case. This is just a natural extension of it. Plus, it's not like he knew from the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 But once he found out he still wanted to keep seeing her behind his son's back. What a dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think Michael is now actually worse than the rest of the family. They admit they are horrible people, he seems to still think he's a good guy. George Michaels finally realising he's a dick was my favourite part of the series.

Kenny Evil Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Michael has always been a dick, but he was kept relatively normal by his proximity to the family. Away from it, is it a wonder that he deteriorated so badly? His relationship with George Michael has always had elements of his relationships with his own parents and his mother's with Buster.

Koete Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Also away from his family, George Michael became a Bluth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
