DVR is your friend

thanks for the reminder! I ran to check if TIVO remembered. it did.

jyunderwood · Feb 10, 2006, 11:01 PM

That was a good ending to the series... err I mean season

ReggieX · Feb 10, 2006, 11:01 PM

AWESOME

Silky Voice of The Gorn · Feb 10, 2006, 11:02 PM

Good stuff, good tie ups, and great openings for the future if its saved.
Some quickie stuff I liked:

- Family Ties theme played over "Nellie"
- "Mister F!"
- Annyong!!
- "Hot Sailors...hot sea-"
- The 4-episode tease of Anne was great
- "How long have you had these feelings?" "About 52 weeks"

ReggieX · Feb 10, 2006, 11:04 PM

Yeah, I think we'll go with Hot Sailors.

What's up with Fox killing great shows:

Futurama
Firefly
Arrested Development

I guess good shows don't make much money for the network.

It's all ratings. Ratings = money. No money - no show.

Of course with Firefly and Futurama, they scheduled them in stupid time slots, speeding the axing along.

Big Mac · Feb 11, 2006, 11:02 PM

I can't believe the show is (most likely) over. It was a terrific ending to one of the best comedies of all time. Damn those shortsighted network programmers.

I had to miss the last half hour. Can someone tell me what actually happened?

I loved William Hung & His Hung Jury.

jyunderwood · Feb 11, 2006, 11:56 PM

I'm glad seinfeld wasn't on fox. I think if AD was given a full season or a standard time or how about some promos instead of all those war at home ones then we could see some better ratings.

Care to elaborate?

Peter might be referring to something else, but Futurama is definitely coming back in the form of 3 straight-to-DVD movies later this year, and at the end of the last episode of AD, when Maeby pitches her idea for a series about her family to Ron Howard (AD's creator), he says it has no chance as a series, but a movie might work. So that could be the only future for AD.

BT is your friend.

i hear AD is gonna end up at showtime soon. it really is a shame when you have such a fantastic television program that gets trounced in ratings when compared to celebrities on ice......:shutter:
