It's not just Arrested Development (Fox Sunday night)

[Ted Cikowski]

this is the best lineup maybe ever on TV.

7:30 malcom in the middle - laugh out loud funny
8:00 the simpsons - still a good show
8:30 arrested development - funniest show on tv, funnier than curb your enthusiam (do you remember the last thing he said? I blue myself.)

9:00 my big fat obnoxious boss - ok i know it's a mindless reality show but making the yuppies sleep in a abondoned lot near homeless people and then saying the girls won $10,000 each but can't keep it is damn funny. Telling the two people they are in the 'board room' because one is too short and then firing the other one cause his suit is too expensive is good comedy.

This one is going to be good.

Um, no. I like Malcom and the Simpsons, but both have really fallen off in the past few years. And then with Arrested Development and Boss, you see the dichotomy Fox is known for: either a wonderful, intelligent show (that almost get canceled very early on) or the scourge of television: reality TV. There is no middle ground.

I used to love Sunday Nights but now its all gone downhill. As for my big fat oboxious boss, I dont like the idea but I will probibly end up watching it because of the lack of Quality on TV these days. I cant wait for The Shield and Carnivale to come back.

really? I though Malcolm was at it's peak last season and last night's season premier was pretty damn funny with Reese as a Muslim woman roaming the dessert.

It was better a few years ago.

Simpsons at 8
Malcom at 830
X-Files at 9 (the last 2 seasons of the x-files are for a seperate thread though.)

Moving malcolm before the simpsons doesn't quite do it. King of the Hill at 7? My early prediction - don't hope for too many new episodes, they'll probably cut some off and go straight to Malcolm if NFL games run long.

As for big fat obnoxious boss, some of the ideas are good, but to spoof the apprentice and not try to hide the obvious ripoff isn't a good idea. One of these days, someone will snap at FOX for their crappy ripoff of a "reality" show. I'm almost expecting some contestant(s) to walk off the show.

I really liked it early on what hooked me was the fact that Malcom in a genius, but that has been seriously deemphasized.

I laughed, hard, all the way through MBFOB. "Mr. N. Paul Todd" is an anagram of Donald Trump. At least two of the women "contestants" I've seen on TV before. So what if the contestants aren't the marks? What if the audience is? It's not genius on the level of "Joe Schmoe," but I'm hooked.

Heard one extremely plausible guess who the "real boss" is, but it's so plausible it might be a spoiler:

Ivana Trump.

Highlight above to reveal.

I agree. I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Malcolm. I still watch the show but I do not enjoy it as much. The B-story lines involving Malcolm's oldest brother have become really tiresome. A dude ranch? Ug.
