I have to read the scripts for my Writing for TV class, so i bought the dvd set of all 18 episodes and i've been working my way through them.

I've read 6 scripts and watched 3 episodes so far. I'm totally loving this show. It's probably good I didn't watch it when it was first on because I just would have been ticked off they cancelled it.

Plus, it has Linda Cardellini goodness.

Which is, frankly, awesome goodness.

I'm not disagreeing.

I'm agreeing too.

That's a great show. A hidden gem. It gets better PG.

I was ****ed when they cancelled it.

[proud gonzo]

so far we've watched the pilot, the kegger one, and the halloween one.

funny stuff.

The guidance counselor cracks me up. And the Parents.

[proud gonzo]

She's the one that's on ER, with the snotty 12 year old, right?

Same girl that played Velma in the Scooby Doo movies. I totally did not recognize her in those, someone had to tell me that was her.

And oh yeah, F&G was a great show. I did watch it and I was way ****ed that they cancelled it. But, that happens with pretty much every doggone show I like, so I should get used to the viewer-shaft by now...

[yermom]

yeah, like Arrested Development :mad:

and yeah, me and Mike Rich have been all over the ER and Scooby Doo stuff :)

[yermom]

i think she was Kelly Clarkson's mom in a video too :O

No cancelled show will ever equal to the greatness that was Arrested Development.

[reevie]

Great Series! I ran out and got the DVD as soon as it was released.

I think that once the show was cancelled the writers rushed through a couple of plot lines so they could have some completion with show. As a result, I think the last few shows have a much different tone and aren't as good.

[proud gonzo]

as they realized the show was probably going to get cancelled they wrote the final episode and tried to figure out a way to work toward that so it wouldn't just end with no closure

good call... but freaks and geeks was close to the same league.

BOTH shows are much better than 90% of the chit on tv.
