No, you haven't finished it.

If you've only watched the entire series once then you're about 10 viewings behind the rest of GAF.

Seriously, watch it again...and again....and again.

Word. You aren't done unless you can point out every foreshadowing and identify any quote to a season.

Seriously, some of the episodes are WAY funnier the second time around.

Yeah I can't wait to go through this again. I'm really excited because I didn't know those 'next time' jokes didn't always spoil the next episode until mid-season 2 so I've got a ton of new jokes to watch. Plus the commentaries (only heard the one for the final episode) and the extras. Fuck yeah.

Personally my stand-out scene, apart from any with Gob, was when the narrator came out and said
"Micheal has been dating a woman who is mentally retarded, but hasn't noticed because of her British accent."
I'm British and made that exact same mistake. The following montage was a huge facepalm moment.

Go!

1. "Mum told me to stay away from microwaves"
2. "Gob was just teaching me how to hit it with a hammer"
3. "Oooh.... That was 90% gravity"
4. "I never thought I'd miss a hand so much!"

Non-Buster Bonus: "Take me with you!"

The squirrel is correct on this one. I absolutely hated the 3rd season the first time around, but upon the 2nd viewing it definitely is a lot funnier when you know who Mr F really is. It's still doesn't have the quality and consistency of the first 2 seasons though.

Haha, yes, I am very excited for repeat viewings. It should be better the second time around too because

A) I'll be watching them on DVD instead of my sucky computer (which lagged way too much when watching the show)
B) I'll be watching them with my family who is interested in the show.

I think my favorite series moment, (except for maybe Michael never knowing who Ann is :lol :lol :lol) was at the end of Ocean Walker

"Was that one of your tricks Gob?"
"No Michael, it wasn't my trick"

On the next Arrested Development...

"It was my ILLUSION!"

:lol :lol :lol

probably butchered the quote, but still. so fucking good

It's spelled timosil, I believe. And yeah, knowing the spelling actually makes the line even more confusing.

IIRC, the intended effect of Teamocil is to make you more cooperative/willing to work in a team, hence the "No 'I' in Teamocil".

It's playing off of the phrase, "there's no 'I' in 'team'".

You would imagine they'd be writing the song, and say, "There's no I in TEAMocil... oh, wait, there is an I, huh?" and then they add the last bit, explaining the 'I' is still not in "Team."

Just finished my second viewing. Even more enjoyable than the first time and I hardly watch anything more than once.

Last year I watched every episode of Seinfeld for the first time and for a brief moment I thought it was the greatest sitcom ever but now that I was reminded how amazing AD is, it takes the first place.

Note to euro-gaf: the boxset is 23,49€ in play.com with free shipping, thinking of buying one just to lend it to friends.

Dude I watched it 6 times and I still catch something new that I missed the time before, it's insane how intricately hilarious this show is.

Also, thanks guys. I understand the 'Teamocil' now.

Thread resurrection!

I am watching it through for the first time, and have just got to the beginning of season 3. It's a shame it didn't last, it's one of the funniest shows I have ever watched, and by far the best editing and timing.

Lucille is my favorite character, but the whole cast is great.

AD is awesome the first time you view it.
AD is AMAZING on every rewatch (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th time, etc...).

Next thing I know, I'm running for my life.

And all I could think was if something were to ever happen to me...how sad I'd be, you know?

OK, Finally finished the whole series.

Really good stuff!

I loved the Parenthood movie too, and you can see similarities for sure.

I liked how it would jump around to all the different relationships, and wasn't just focused on two main characters.

Stellar cast, brilliant acting, insanely funny and very creative. I cant think of a better comedy show. F U Fox for cancelling this show.

On the verge of watching the last episode (S03E13) and feeling kind of sad. Suggestions?
Click to expand...

dude, seriously. i love that show (i even started watching it all over again just recently), but i'm glad it got taken off the air! it would have been ruined if they kept it going.

some of the later episodes in the series were just so boring, and felt like filler episodes that weren't really in existence for a real reason.

the movie will be great i am sure!

theres money in that banana stand.

For every interview like that there seems to be another one saying it won't happen (like from David Cross recently, if I recall correctly.)


Right now I'm just assuming it won't happen, but I am praying that it will :D

Nope. David Cross recently said they were all too famous and too important to be able to figure out how to schedule the time to film it.

Yes, that's a true story. Actors who act are just too busy to figure out how to make time to act.
