I love that season 1 easter egg. I didn’t think that scene could get more hilarious, but it did.

Ok ACR, thanks. I had read about that pressing right thing but never got it to work. I didn’t realize you had to highlight immaculate first.

Gproud and ACR, any chance you can put those Season 3 finale things with Lucille in spoilers please? I’m sure a lot of people who haven’t seen up to the end of the show will be reading this thread, and that is kind of a spoiler there.

Bleep sorry Beamer - not thinking

(Semi-spoiler for later episodes in black below.)
So I was thinking about how AD might slyly take a stab at FOX after a move to Showtime.
Then I realized they had already taken care of this in the Pilot...
with Lucille’s FOX!
It was not only the first lost limb on the show, but also...
Sort of an eerily prescient revenge for FOX’s truncation of seasons 2 and 3.
Obviously the fox-foot call-forward wasn’t intentional since the show hadn’t been picked up by a network yet when they shot the pilot. Nor could they see two or three years into the future.
But if I didn’t know that, I’d call it brilliant.

Brilliant observation DonnyHost

There’s a scene before the intervention where Lucille tells the family that they need Michael.
GOB replies, "We need ice."
I doubt it was really foreshadowing to the bounty hunter, but it still made me chuckle when I caught it.

Does anyone know what song is playing in the background while the family is playing monopoly (when Michael tells George-Michael that Lindsay, Tobias and Maeby will be staying)? NOT the "Leroy" song that plays for Maeby and George-Michael, but the one playing before that. I can’t make out the lyrics or I would do a search. Anyone figure this out?

I made a parody of this ep. I would show you, but then I’d have to kill you. (children cry)
