I watched the first season of AD when it was on TV a couple of years ago, and I loved it. My brother recently bought series 3, and he already had series 2, so over the last couple of weeks we've knocked off 2 seasons of AD. And now, it's over taken Scrubs as my favourite show. I can't get over how well it's done, and how good every character and the acting is. Even the weaker characters, such as Maeby, have plenty of laugh out loud moments. It's too bad it got cancelled after only 3 seasons.

Was watching series 3 again recently and the following occurred to me:
Tobias has a moustache. When he turns into Mrs Featherbottom the moe is gone, yet when he changes back into Tobias it appears again. Do you reckon that was an F-up on purpose?

I think in the extras section they make mention of his fake moe.It was a delibrate gag.

Yeh, he shaved the 'tache off because women obviously don't have them.

I think Magpiespower might be refering to the USA about the ratings.

Ditto. In America they ran it alongside the 2006 winter Olympics where it understandably struggled.

"Fox aired the final four episodes of the third season in a block as a two hour series finale on February 10, 2006; opposite the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics. In the United Kingdom, BBC Two picked up the series in September 2004, and started airing the third season on 24 September 2006"

While it was the last few eps it's an example of how badly the show was treated.
 
This is basically on constantly in our household, and just need to share a great moment I saw (again) last night waiting for Heroes.

Tobias thought the meeting he was going to was another "Blue Man Group", but it was actually a meeting for depressed men, and he turned up with his head painted blue. He then walks up to the microphone and says "I feel like a f***en idiot", then walks off.

Awesome.

Season one IMO is the best... Season 2 not far behind. Season 3 is ok but not up to the standard of 1 & 2 IMO. Oh listen to me... Zuckercorn you blowhard!
