Tobias and Carl Weather's "relationship" in AD was one of the funnies segments of the series. I remember the Air Port Van Pool introductions; priceless. "Guess where I'm not flying today?" Weathers played it really cool as well (not stuck up to say the least) about his place in Hollywood, at this stage of his "career".
Weathers: You know here in Burger King, they give you as many refills as you want? For Free!
Tobias: It is a WONDERFUL restaurant!"
AD is one of my tops 5's most definitely. Season 4....ehh, not so much, though not surprisingly, loved the Tobias and Gob episodes. The two funniest cast members, followed by George Bluth. Love cool old dudes like that.
The show really would've made it if Michael wasn't the main character. So unlikable and whiny to the point of him becoming tiresome. That laryngitis didn't help either. Another fault of the show is Ron Howard CONTINUALLY updating and preparing every joke or having to explain why it relates to the story as the narrator to the audience stemming from the to lack of viewers and not wanting to scare off newcomers, etc.
