Well I was waiting for someone to post their impressions, but I guess it ain’t gonna happen, so I’ll just ask: Did anyone catch it last night? If so, what did you think? I was watching the football game so I taped the Simpsons et al, and I’m wondering if this show is worth fast-forwarding to.
So is the new best new show of the ever like they’re saying in the promos?
lol good question. Fox is a continual reminder of the nature of my whore-like existance. The network that cancelled brilliance like “Underclared” and “Futurama” is the home of almost everything I watch on a regular basis (Simpsons, King of the Hill, 24, Joe M). Oh well, at least I can look forward to flipping over to CBS for Survivor on Thursdays.
OK, I’m going to say it. I like Jason Bateman. I liked him on “Silver Spoons”, he had a few shows as a teenager and I liked him in those, and dammit, I liked him in “Arrested Development”. There. I said it. I find him funny and affable and I’m oddly attracted to him. OK, I’ve said too much.
Oh, and it has David Cross and he’s the freakin’ best! It’s definitely worth watching, better than most other shows out there.
No need to apologize. He’s professionally likeable. Hell, I, who hates everybody, like him. **

Yeah, he improves whatever he’s in. He was the best thing in MIIB, with the possible exception of Lara Flynn Boyle’s ass.
OMG. Finally got around to watching my tape of it. Second best comedy on TV now, behind The Office (it’ll drop back another slot when Curb Your Enthusiam returns). Great stuff. Jason Bateman? Who knew? Great straight man. Portia de Rossi? Yum. David Cross? Genius! Jeffrey Tambor!? Hey now! Circumcision jokes, bleeped expletives. Woohoo!
Anyhow, seeming as how everyone think Fox will totally $(#@ up this show, maybe they’ll surprise us.
Nah. Too much to hope for. I just hope it lasts longer than last year’s Fox *#$( up, Undeclared.
