...okay; I've seen season one. Season two just came out.

This quiz is for folks who've seen the second season:

The local store has disc two but not disc one. I know the shows are pretty chronological, but do you think it's a real problem if I watch 'em out of order?

how many episodes are on Disc 1? I think its ok to miss an episode every now and again because of the recaps or the flashbacks, but missing 3 or more in order will probably throw things off.

I'm sure there are at least three episodes. I think the whole season's only a three disc set.

Oh, crap. There might be as many as six epidoes on disc one.

Maybe I'll just rent it to keep it out of someone else's hands for a day or so. :o

I'd just wait for the first disc. Sure you will be able to pick up on whats going on pretty quickly, but the gems that are on the first disc (or any of the discs actually) need to be peeped with your peepers.
Especially if you decide to go back to watch it because you will already know what the outcome of the Bluthe family's crazy antics will be.

Sorry man, as much as I want to tell you...I think you will enjoy it more if you find out for yourself.

You realize how messed up this is? No one is watching it when it's broadcast, and I've never known when it's even on, but we're all waiting for the DVDs.

Disc one left Netflix for my house today. :)

I'm afraid its gonna get cancelled. So are they. Fuck baseball for taking away my arrested development. Its been gone for so long the people who may have decided to give it a chance will forget about it when it comes on Monday nights on Fox. Can't they play that shit on ESPN?

...we're getting closer and closer to the day when that's all that matters, anyway. For some years, as long as a movie got some theatrical release, home video rights were more valuable; I think we're pretty close to generating television content just so it can see eventual DVD release and makes its real money.

Yeah, I watch almost no broadcast TV but I watch a lot of TV shows on Netflix. I'm watching the first episodes of House while I'm home sick today.

I haven't sat down to watch a piece of broadcast television in... oh, Lordy. Whenever Letterman hosted the Oscars.

it's not entirely important. you might be a little confused as to why george sr. is living in the attic, but it's nothing like not knowing why buster has a hook for a hand.

I'm on the second disc. Oh, god, how I HATE Martin Short.

He might be the only actor who could ruin this show for me.

they have a 3 min review of the first season for the special features on the season 2 set. I haven't even seen the first season yet and I'm borrowing season 2 from a friend.

Beastlips- the reason why George Sr. is living in the attic and why Buster has a hook for a hand is on the second disc.

I hate Martin Short more than Robin Williams. And my hatred for Robin Williams is legendary.

Please tell me Martin is not a regular. The show did an superb job with casting prior to this debacle.

I was okay with Martin on SCTV and in the movie Innerspace. After that, I had no more tolerance. He and Billy Crystal weren't actually responsible for ruining SNL. It just felt that way.
