I was not. Pretty funny though. They always have the most obscure references in this show.

Season Two is my favorite, especially the run towards the end. Some of the absolute best episodes.

Yeah, the writers of this show are insanely detailed. I would have never realized some of this stuff.

John Beard might be my favorite running support character. That scene where Kitty yells that Michael is threatening her in the restaurant and Beard quickly exits while mumbling to himself how he can't be a part of the story always cracked me up.

I finished season 3 this afternoon. Loved it, especially towards the end. Went through the first 3 episodes of season 4 earlier tonight.

I don't know if this is because I just watched the entire show for the first time, but I'm sensing a pretty steep drop-off in quality with the new season as far as the humor is concerned. I like how the stories seem to be intertwining, and everybody's still very much true-to-character (even though it's a little jarring at first how much older everybody looks... except for Gob). I just find it a lot less funny. To me, it feels like really good fan-fiction.

Go easy mate, you're only up to episode 3. You haven't even seen all the characters yet. It gets better and better, keep watching.

Yeah, of course. There are several things I've enjoyed about this season so far. I love that Maria Bamford is in this. I just didn't laugh much during those first three episodes, and felt a little bored at parts.

Speaking of, I don't know if I've really expressed how much the name DeBrie just kills me.

That has been the universal view of the first 3 episodes of the new season. It picks up, and my wife and I went back and rewatched the first 3 episodes last night after seeing the whole season, and they're a lot better the second time through.

Just finished last night, then re-watched "Flight of the Phoenix". It's amazing how much better that episode is after seeing the whole season.

What did y'all think about the ending?
Spoiler: show
Michael being punched in the face after 23 awkward seconds of silence, then it just ends. Kinda weird, and it seemed anti-climatic. Makes me think we're definitely gonna get a season 5 and/or movie.

Spoiler: show
i thought it was climatic in the sense that, for the first time, the bond between michael and george michael is truly strained, which had been the only functional relationship in the series, and thus the heart of the show.
