apocalypsosWhoever the hell scheduled a good show on every goddamn channel at 9 o'clock on Tuesday night needs a smack upside the head with a boat oar. ARGH. (For the record, I'm watching TAR because my loyalty is unwavering even when it's crappy. And I can't begin to describe how terrified I am of this season. *thinks of commercials, shudders*)
And ... okay, so that "if you see this, quote Firefly" meme is going around. Fair enough. Now everybody quote something on TV right now that ISN'T Firefly.
Arrested Development
Narrator: Tobias had gained entry to the studio's wardrobe and makeup department. He then disguised himself to fool his wife Lindsay, see Maebe, and prove that he was a good actor. It was the exact plot of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire… with a little Mary Poppins thrown in the mix.
Tobias Fünke: [footage of Tobias trying on a Speedo with his cut-offs on] Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?
Ann Veal: You must teach me, George Michael. You must teach me the ways of the secular flesh.
Narrator: What Dave Attell was trying to portray was the fact that Tobias was never able to be completely naked, but it was lost on the audience due to the narrator's shoddy delivery. (I love Ron Howard. That is all. :))
Desperate Housewives
[about the kids]
Lynette: Why don't I just put them back in me and cook 'em until they're civilized?
Tom: You'd be cool with that?
Gabrielle: Before we got married we made a deal, remember? No kids.
Carlos: Deals are meant to be renegotiated.
Gabrielle: We're not negotiating my uterus.
George Williams: Well... I'll see you, Dr. Van De Kamp.
Rex: Please, you're dating my wife. Call me Rex.
Bree: [to Rex] Please don't mistake my anal retentiveness for actual affection.
The Amazing Race
Colin: My ox is broken! (I didn't even get to see that season, but really. ;))
Boston Legal
Alan Shore: You know I'm not about to go to Texas and not ride the mechanical bull, Chelina. That would be like going to Los Angeles and not sleeping with Paris Hilton.
Alan Shore: All together now.
Everybody: LESBIAN!
Brian Stevens: Motion for continuance is denied.
Denny Crane: You know what I'm going to do, Brian, just to show you there are no hard feelings? I'm going to sleep with your wife.
Medium
Ariel: This is completely unfair! I had her first, Dad.
Joe: No, point in fact, I had her first or else you wouldn't be here.
Lost
Jack: Okay, let's do this.
Kate: Hey Charlie, ask Jack about his tattoos.
Charlie: [sarcastic] Oh, you guys have an inside joke. How absolutely wonderful for you both.
Mr. Artz: I know a clique when I see it. I teach high school, pally! You know, you people think you're the only ones on this island doing anything of value. Well, I've got news for you. There were forty other survivors of this plane crash and we are all people, too.
Hurley: Okaaaaay...

Date: 2005-09-28 01:35 am (UTC)Seriously. Did you see last week's when Michael is talking to his mother about her inviting a lover up to the cabin and she says something about a musty claptrap (I'm paraphrasing here) and Michael stares for a minute before responding, "Oh, you're talking about the cabin."
I died.

Date: 2005-09-28 02:41 am (UTC)I don't know why I wasn't watching last year, I think some sort of scheduling conflict, but I'm a regular fan now lol. [i just need to get my hands on s1 & s2 dvds]

Date: 2005-09-29 07:03 am (UTC)a) wondering what these two -actually- do for a living to be able to run around without ever working and still afford gas and food and stylishly hip young clothing.
b) pondering how much the one guy's face reminds me of Sylvester Stalone, and not in a good way.
But it's entirely possible that a) was answered in the pilot, which I did not see.
