I think George Sr. is very funny, but yeah he is still sort of "supporting" as apposed to "lead." Although with this cast, the distinction is very difficult indeed.
But he was better last season because he was the know it all who was too cool, putting everyone down. While this year he’s showing signs of weakness, being bent out of shape over Lucille.

Wow.
Anybody here.
After rewatching the first season today I developed a love for George Sr.
And my little brothers recognized him as the guy from Muppets in Space to boot.
Oh man.

George Sr. isn’t my favorite, but he’s definitely funny.
I love when he had a tea party...

I saw The Spongebob Squarepants movie only because Jeffrey Tambor was in it.

What!!!!
Jeffery Tambor was in the SPSP movie?
Now I have to go see that... I’ve don’t have Nick so I haven’t even seen an episode, but I’ve heard people talk about it. Now I’m intrigued.
I loved the George Sr. George Michael moments in good grief, classic, and one of my favorite scenes was when Tobias and George Sr. meet in the attic.
"You horse’s ass. Stop licking my hand."

Does it strike anyone else as odd that we’ve never heard George Sr. or Oscar say "Hey now"?

You gotta love George Senior’s competitive nature when it comes to softball... In the first season when michael is explaining how much trouble the company is in and george’s main concern is how the rival prison may be getting Jose Canseco. Then in season two, all the lengths he goes to in order to ensure a win in the game. Jeffrey Tambor is awesome, I gained a real appreciation for him while watching the Larry Sanders show. I must say after getting used to his George Sr. character it was weird seeing him being so serious in the movie Hellboy... I kept wanting to see him bust out and just go "I’ve got the worst ——ing attorneys..."
