Great to see Annyong's back! They definitely manage to do that (bring back characters you completely forgot about) well on the show.

Yup, this was genius. I wasn't really enjoying the whole Charlize Theron secret agent subplot, but now that they dropped this bomb I need to go back and watch all the earlier episodes. Too funny.

Agreed. I think we all had a "ohhhhhh, now I get it" moment there.I think my favorite "in retrospect" line of the series is Buster saying "I never thought I'd miss a hand that much" in reference to the red chair.

Or Gob's beauty pageant judge certification at the "inner beauty" pageant ...Specialty: OuterDitto. The subtle humor cracks me up almost as much, like the CIA van marked Blendin Catering.

You didn't realize she was slow? The signs were all there. Check out when the family drugs her and puts her on a bus stop bench. When she sits up she blocks out portions of the Wee Britain sign so it just says Wee Brain. They like to foreshadow with bench signs. Like when right before Buster lost his hand he was on a bench that said Army Office but he sat in front of part of it to make is say Arm Off.

I was so pissed when I missed the show last night. Fortunately, bittorrent exists. 
Which may be the best way to watch the show. The jokes are flying fast and furious. I suggested that AD may be the best show ever. There is no doubt now.When Michael and George are talking about the Inner Beauty Pageant. Held at the State Fair, well, the Church and State Fair ("People of God and Taxpayers").Then they flash the Times and there's a picture of Robert Patterson. Tobias is fantastic: "Get in there, have some sex with this girl right now"And the "song" playing in the Steve Holt/Michael training montage: "Keep Those Balls in the Air" as it ends in front of the Father/Son bronze statue.The inner beauty pageant judge: "Pope Impersonator" with the Fake PopemobileStartled Straight With all the crucifixin's?This show absolutely kills

Oh my God, the 2nd episode might be better.George Sr.'s web search (on InfoMole). The page was on "Ankle Monitor" before he entered "Jet Pants". Add your URL to InfoMole was the first result.Love the motivational poster covering the Cousins Dangeroux. Fun & Failure both start the same way.I love how GOB calls the surrogate Dad.I just noticed how Tobias has on cut off jeans beneath his workout shorts in the lockerroom. Boy do they know how to consistently run a joke.The Godzilla parody was top notch. "I ache with embarassment""It took some idiot parrot man with a camera in his head to bring us together."And Dave Thomas is a consummate pro. He's way underutilized by movies and tv.

On reflection, I think George Sr's decision to hijack the Popemobile instead of the Hummer because he "wanted something bulletproof" may be the most viciously funny joke about the bungled Iraq War of the year. My other favorite line "I will out this Queen." "I think you already have."
Team Tosh

I consider myself somewhat conservative and I thought that joke was great. George Sr. yells at the cops, "I'll see you in hell," as he's driving away in the pope mobile. The glass breaks and he says, "thank God I wasn't in the Humvee."
The Army's "one in, one out" program was pretty funny as well.

GB Bittorrents. Downloaded all of them last night and there were so many people leeching/seeding that each episode downloaded in 2 hours or less. Best show ever.My favorite sub plot is George Michael and Maibe. "It doesnt count because we didnt finish it." "You want to finish it?" "Meet me here tomorrow." Steve Holt being related is losing me a little bit because Maibe had a crush on him first season. The fact Steve Holt yells his name all the time is genius. (Door bell rings) "STEVE HOLT!""Who's Ann?" "Oh Annabell, because she is shaped like a bell, I remember her." - George Michael should have jumped on that when given the chance. She was waiting and willing.Charlize was great I thought. Her backpacks were awesome.

Apparently I'm missing something...what's the significance of Blendin Catering?

They are CIA agents... Blend... in... Catering. They were trying to hide.

Great stuff!I also wonder if the show will go long enough to bring back Maggie Lizer, since she actually is pregnant now ....TommyGilmore

This episode had a bit too many double-entendre's for my taste (they're kinda going over the top with that stuff) but I still laughed my ### off.

Also, one last bit about show 4 of this season. George Michael turning away from things being thrown at him in his childhood and then when they are in the kitchen is good stuff. Then Tobias does it... good stuff. Who is Ann's man she found? People are saying Steve Holt but not sure.Also, on the other message board they said George Michael screamed, or yelped when Ann broke up with him but I cannot find it anywhere in episode 4 or 5. I dont know.
this brings a question i have about some paternity in this show....GM son of Michael
Maiba NOT the daughter of Michel's Sister?
or is GM not really michalel's, since a relationship between Holt, and Maiba was incest, but not GM and Maibe,
and GM hides from things thrown at him, and so does Tobias, so they could be fatehr and son?? in which case, TObias isn't maibes father? but then if Holt and Maibe IS incest, then GOB and and Portia aren't brother and sister either? or Portia isn't maibe's mother either???
??? more stuff in this show than LOST

They've hinted many times that Maybe isn't the biological kid of Tobias and Portia De Rossi (can't remember her character name).

I think, hope, you are reading way to much into it. Michael = GM, Tobias = Maebe, Gob = Steve Holt. If GM is Tobias' then he would have had to have sex with Michael's deceased wife. Not cool. Like I mentioned above, I dont really like the whole Gob = Steve Holt story line yet because now all the kids are kissing cousins except for Ann. Which ironically Ann could be Tobias' and Maebe could have been switched at birth thus leaving open the option for GM&Maebe but that would be a lot of story telling to pull that off.

My guess is that Maeby is clearly not related by blood to Lindsay, meaning Maeby's not related to either George Michael or Steve Holt.Seems to be consistent with her being "made in a cup" and getting "donors" (from season 1).

Oscar is in jail for the real father while the real father is being Oscar right now.

George Sr. went up to him to "make amends" (family first) ... only to drug him, shave his head, and turn Oscar into prison while he escaped (as a Blue Man).

What a great sentence that is, regardless of context.
And BTW, I saw that AD is ranked in the 90's for primetime shows...ugh.

Thats Annyong (Hello) who the mother adopted in the first season to take the place of her sons who should have been moving out. Buster saw it different and stayed with mother. Annyong (Hello) made an appearance in season 2 I believe, I watched the DVDs and thought I saw him but he had a bigger role in season one.Maybe Ann's new man in Annyong (Hello).

The way I understand it is the show is hinting at Maeby not being Linday's birth daughter. The line that always cracks me up is when GM asks Gob if Aunt Lindsay was ever pregnant. He responds with, "Oh yes, dozens of times."
It's fun to guess, but the show has a way of twisting it in a direction that's difficult to predict.
I think somewhere there is a missing family member that won't be shown sort of like on the show "The Osbornes" the Osborne's other kid wasn't in the show. I just remember in one of the police family trees there was a face that was blurred out. Not sure if that ever came up in an interview I read, or on the dvd extras.

I think HBO would be a better venue...deeper pockets. Plus, with the decline of some of their staple shows, they need some solid replacements.
