There's always money in the banana stand. *wink*

I don't get it. Was that a subpar episode? Should I give it another chance?

Like everyone else has said, watch it from the beginning. I remember the first time I saw AD was at some friends' apartment. I had no idea what I was watching, but I could tell it was funny if I knew the characters (and some of it was pretty funny anyway). Pissed that I waited so long to finally watch the series...it really is one of the funniest shows ever made. I know it gets overhyped as such, but it's true IMO. And a lot of the humor completely goes over Average Joe American TV Watcher's head, which was why it wasn't as successful as it should've been.
