DEAN FUCKING CAMERON

^^^^

this season has been great

Good to hear Frank's a Faith No More fan.

yeah. I thought the last season or two wasn't so great but this season is killing it. At first I thought it was being too meta/callback based, but despite that/within that they're really trying new things and succeeding. At the beginning of the last episode I thought it wasn't gonna be great, but it was really special. Glad he didn't get a botch toe too.

omg @ this finale

just watched the last episodes of the season. so good! they make excellent villains here! it's amazing they have been able to maintain quality for this long this consistently imo.

i liked the courtroom drama one, where Charlie is a bird lawyer, and his uncle makes an appearance representing them in court, wearing gloves that look like hands. the boat one was incredible too -- one of those where the show takes a sudden turn into action movie territory and the characters play both hero and villain. "Charlie Catches A Leprechaun" was insane.

when Charlie is doing the Pulp Fiction dance i lost it

so traumatic, i was panicking

i've seen tons of episodes on netflix and plane rides and stuff but i've never really watched the show in order, so i started it from episode 1 earlier this week. the first season...is not that great? no one really seems into their groove yet, and the characters aren't as distinct as they are later on. charlie in particular seems a lot more alert and normal than the foggy version of himself i'm used to in later episodes

charlie knows how to read in Season 1!

just about every american sitcom is way more defined in season 2 than it is in season 1.

I remember watching s1 when it aired and not being really into it - but around the time DeVito joins the cast they really hit their stride

yeah i already love the show i've seen probably half the episodes here or there, it's just interesting seeing how different it seems

as lagoon says upthread tho they do establish some things pretty early -- dee's acting classes, dennis and the "tranny" (and his general repressed homosexuality), charlie and the waitress, etc

mac, not dennis obv

javelin watched since s 5 or so. not sure why it was still good

javelin=havent

yeah a LOT of the recurring characters are there from the start. Isn't there one episode that introduces like three main recurring character, incl the waitress...?

xp

oh I see I already covered this:

I recently re-watched this show from the beginning and I had forgotten how much gets established early on. Like, in the 4th episode they introduce the waitress + Charlie's infatuation w her, Artemis, Dee's acting ambitions, and Mac's infatuation with Carmen the transexual. Almost everything the show calls back to (including most of the recurring characters) is set up by the end of the 2nd season.

lol yes that was the post i was referring to i thought i remembered it being lagoon

s1 is pretty bad, i agree that devito coming in is where it improves. not necessarily bc of him but it's a good dividing line.

i love their high-concept episodes, especially the one where the bar tries to win an award and the (mostly) one-take episode about fooling the health inspector

dennis's natural leadership abilities and general sociopathic tendencies haven't really shown up too much yet either. sweet dee seems like the most fully fleshed out so far

dee is nicer/more reasonable at the beginning of the show, iirc kaitlyn olsen went to the dudes eventually and told them she didn't want to be the nagging woman character any more so they started making her more pathetic and weird

"the gang finds a dead guy" is great LOL watching now

i don't remember dennis smoking either

they just made the pilot themselves for like $30, p cool

love how they stuck w that low budge feel throughout

i just rescreened a some eps yesterday and dee gives birth and the christmas ep back to back is some serious genius

ive prob watched the christmas ep 4 times and there are two scenes that make me lol irl srsly hard every time

cuttys soliloquy abt the jorts in dee gives birth is transcendent too

Xmas special is so unbelievably great. the stop-motion animation segment is next level. the pantsless dwarf. Mac's family stealing presents.

I believe this is truly the best show of our time fwiw

so many great parts but frank sewn into the couch and charlie and the mall santa are what send me over the edge

lol forgot about the couch

have been rewatching Review, maybe I need to switch back to this

mack incensed that the toy story guy doesnt know who mike schmidt is is perfect too lmfao

I regularly yell out "botch toe!" (Botched?)

I believe this is truly the best show of our time fwiw
