Starts tomorrow, and I'm pumped.
Who's watching?

I'm watching my first ever episode tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to seeing why it's the best show that nobody watches.

This is the Huggies Diapers year for the show. The year where they do it all on their own. The training wheels are off, and the show is riding on down the road. Will it stumble immediately? Who knows?
I call it the Huggies year because A. the show no longer can hide behind the Simpsons for ratings, B. the show can no longer hide behind critics gushing over it, and C. the show won a single Emmy this year, so it won't have that Best Comedy win to keep it on for another season. It's do or die for the Bluths, and if no one watches, it's no longer FOX's fault.

I like their pretty gutsy ad campaign.... "15 Million Viewers and Carmen Electra gets this Emmy!"
"Let's make Monday a dirty word!"
Funny, funny.
*hopes AD gets at least more viewers than their average last year*

Yeah, I'm liking the ad campaigns.
I really don't see how the show is going to pull of better ratings, though. I just don't.
I'm still pumped, though.

Give Carmen Electra her Emmy already! She deserves one.

Ok, I watched the first 8 episodes of Season on those Friday marathons, but missed the rest.
I was thinking of just not watching Season 3 and waiting for the DVD for Season 2 and then the DVD for Season 3.
But the hell with that.
what basically happened in Season and and the last episode?
Get me up to dat so I'll watch the opener for Season 3 tonight. And I'll just rent out Season 2 when it coems out to see the comedy I missed!

George Bluth escaped escaped and Oscar went to jail in his place. Since Oscar was under stress, he couldn't grow his hair back, so they naturally assumed it was George Bluth Sr.
Ummm, Gob put Franklin into the washing machine and he turned white. George Michael and Maebe kissed. Am I missing anything?
OMGGGGGGGGG CANT WAIT FOR SEASON 3 TONIGHT!! BEST SHOW ON TV RETURNS!!!!

I'm pumped as well. This show is so good that you have to tape it and re-watch several times to catch all the jokes.

Exactly! That's why I didn't mind watching the show over the summer on Fridays, instead of waitinf for the DVD. I knew I'd be able to watch them again, and still laugh at stuff I missed.

heh...that'll be 50 dollars? Is Henry Winkler a series regular? I wouldn't think so since he has a new show this season on CBS coming out, but it looked like his character was a regular.

No, he was recurring last season, but they have to get a new actor to play the lawyer this year.

It's quite quirky and humorous, and something tells me Jessica Walter is going to be my favorite.

Oh man... you should check out the episodes where Jessica Walter squares off with Liza Minnelli.

I loved tonight's episode, especially Jessica Walter going on about how her PPD drugs could lead to harder drugs because she heard it from a scientist on The Today Show. I guess asking them to work in 'glib' would have been asking for too much. Great beginning, very sad that 7th Heaven will probably beat it in the ratings.

Very sad, but very true, and now that TWoP isn't recapping 7th Heaven anymore there's no reason to even be aware of it's existence.
