Does anyone else feels a difference in the pace of the show? Like they really are trying to change it.

Yeah, it was .org on the show.

The .com links to the-op.com, which is a fan site (a good fan site, but not official) and appears to have been around since last year.

Just a great episode! Good for them for basically going down swinging and making fun of the "traditional sitcom" formula!

Brilliant! I can't believe they made a whole show about the show getting cancelled and possibly picked up. Was this the most tongue-in-cheek episode in TV history?

"We're losing relatability."

"Oh, that's the water I cooked the chicken in."
"It'll go well with chicken!"
"Yeah!"

"In some circles it's called The OC disord..."
"Don't call it that."

"We're setting up for the West Coast feed!"

I think this is one of the best. Episodes. Ever! What other sitcom could do an entire hilarious episode about their own cancellation?

Unverified (but believable) scuttlebutt now says our next AD wil be two episodes on Friday Feb. 10.

Yes, that is up against the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics...

If I didn't know better, I'd swear the subtext of the whole episode was the situation AD has been having about being cancelled and looking for a new home.

But that couldn't be. That would just be too...desperate.

So, did anyone pull out their 3-D glasses to check out the effects? If I had a pair in the house I would.

I loved John Laroquette popping into the event after being referenced in "Righteous Brothers".

I have never been so jealous of the East Coast in my life.

I don't think those were real stereo 3d effects.

I don't get the OC joke. Are they just upset that a show like the OC gets to keep going while they are getting cancelled?

The gist of the joke (as is my understanding) is that they're in Orange County and just don't like it when people refer to it as The OC.

I wanna say this was the best episode of the season. No silly British plot, no, surrogate, just good old fashioned great story. I just get a strange vibe that things may not be as dire as us fans think. It almost seems as if FOX is trying to help them get AD a new home as well.

The HBO and ShowTime references were priceless...

Fox bought that domain about 2-3 weeks ago...
They purchased it in mid december

They weren't. We used our daughters 3-D glasses from her Barbie DVD. Nothing but what you saw on the screen without the glasses.

They made the same 'We've still got the West Coast feed guys' joke at the end here too.

So that clinches that it really wasn't live...

I can't believe nobody yet has mentioned:

Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb

I had to pause that one while my wife and I tried to say it without laughing... no luck!
