It seems like a lifetime since we've seen a new episode, and the last episode they aired could have very well stood as a season (or series!) finale unto itself, what with its take-off on such ratings gimmicks as celebrity cameos, cheap effects, and death. But in fact we've got FOUR more episodes on tonight, starting at 8 p.m. on Fox. There's still no official word on the fate of the series, but being that "Skating With Celebrities" is getting 183 percent more viewers than "AD" got in the same timeslot, it's pretty safe to say that it won't be coming back to Fox. Thanks America! Next up "Demolition Derby With Debutantes" and "Ski Jumping With Superstars: To the Extreme!"
Tonight's marathon will include an appearance by Jason Bateman's sister, Justine, who will play someone who may or may not be a long-lost sister, and yes, one of the episodes is called "Family Ties." And...that's all we're going to tell you about it. We want you to go in spoiler-free, and relish every single second of it. And then we want you to watch it again and catch all the small jokes you missed the first time around. And then we want you to keep those four episodes on your TiVo for a long time, because you'll never know when you might want to see little bits and pieces when you need a laugh.
But mostly, we just want you to enjoy it, and try not to cry at the thought of losing the funniest show on TV forever.
