Like was said, the biggest problem with AD is that you need to think. The majority of the jokes are not overly obvious, so many don’t get it. People are lazy, so watching a comedy that requires thought is out of the question.
I won’t shed a tear for Malcolm or T70’S. And while Bernie had its moments, I think there was only a limited amount of plots it could go with. But AD, that is a true gem. It might very well be better served if it goes elsewhere.
The best line from AD, which I missed the first time (because I wasn’t paying attention), went something like this
George Sr. was at a Ford dealership looking for a car (they never did explain why he was doing that). George asked the salesman what happened to the Bronco. The guy responded by saying that after the whole O.J. thing, Ford didn’t want to have a vehicle that could be associated with a criminal on the run. Then he said, “Have you seen the new Escape?” Silly, but pure genius.
As for the cancellation of 24, I hope not. You are right, I was worried they’d keep playing the same story line over again. I have faith that this year will be a little different then the rest. Also, I think this will be their crowning year. Next year they will venture off into a totally different direction with Jack Bauer.
And while I can’t confirm it, considering what I’ve seen so far on The Shield, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the last season for that as well. I hope I’m wrong though.
