Anyone seen this show?
I watched all the episodes last year and decided a few weeks ago it was time to do it again. Such an ingenious show. Sure, they have some obvious and outlandish jokes, but so much of the humor is subtle.
Here's a clip of one of the funniest segments of the show, where Gob can't think of anything to say and starts going shdshd ssshhhs shhhhshsshhh and Michael shooshes him.

Fuckin delectable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5VF8qw4hrg hey brother!
favorite things in the show: hop-ons, winking at the medicine, rape horn, the black puppet not being allowed in the country club, annabell, gob's scooter, the name gob, Tobias's method of getting on the stage when he was a director, take your daughter to work day.
Awesome show.
Here's David Cross's opinion about why it got cancelled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNDmeZHdB4c
Amen brother.

Brilliant show. I fucking love it.
George Sr.: Why?! If someone had left a note, this innocent man would still have his arm! Why?!
J. Walter Weatherman: And that's why you always leave a note! |

In the middle of doing exactly the same thing at the moment, and it's just as good the second time around.
Cracking show. |

I'm a fan of Lucille Bluth, personally.
Waitress: Plate or platter?
Lucille: I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it. |

Maybe was always my favourite.
The show started to get kind of tiresome toward the end, though. I'm glad they cancelled it when they did. |

Yeah, the third season was the worst. It just kind of seemed like gave up on trying to make it work.
Specifically, I didn't like the storyline involving Charlese Theron. |

WHAT???
I am glad they canceled it too, but only because it happened in the middle of its Golden Age. |
