Mounty Pumper's Flying Circus


Fox Sundays at 9:30p EDT. New season started Sep 27th!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230454/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

This season starts after Carol and Phil "Tandy" Miller left Tuscon for parts unknown. Phil was kind of a douche last season, almost frustratingly so. Hopefully they turn that around this season. Also expect to see a lot more of Phil's brother (Jason Sudeikis) this season. Mainly I just wanted there to be a thread so we could all bask in the KWA joke. Carry on.

Love this show, loved the first episode of this season, Love Phil. And Carol.

Christ, what a cliffhanger.

This was a good episode. First season was a bit rocky, but it seems like they have a good idea of what they want to do now.

No need to panic.
After last season, I was shocked to really enjoy this episode. Cutting out the rest if the cast was a great decision, as was bringing back the best character on the show (Phil's beard). Jason Sudekis' part was fun too, although I hope they leave him in space for a while. The show is at its best when dealing with loneliness.

Number 6 holds The Village record in Duck Hunt.

The first one to kill :laugh: wins.
Going through Carol's apartment was :smith: Schaal's line "He did everything to not get the virus. He did", god drat. The first season never really went into how the characters must have felt seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Carol's room being a memorial to her friends and family was creepy, odd, funny and :smith: at the same time.

I really liked this episode. I hope the season can keep it up.

Stealth bomber. Best show since the first episode from last year. I hope the rest of the crew is dead, except for Todd.

I liked the first season even when it was dumb, but I especially loved the first episode - and again this season is off to a great start!

The best gag was using the ol' multi-tool to open the door, missed opportunity with Abe Lincoln / Benjamin Franklin make-out (Will should have voiced Abe drat-it)

I couldn't see casting information on imdb but if you check the writers twitter feed you can tell who is probably coming back this season

Really good premiere. Hooked me right back in after I left last seasons with "meh" feelings. So "meh" that apparently I never got around to deleting the season pass, and here we are.

WHY IS THIS GAME DEAD?!
I was quite happy with the premiere, I felt it had just the right amount of over the top silliness. I'm pretty sure you can't pilot a stealth bomber without a zillion hours of training, and I'm totally sure you can't just taxi it down the street.... but that's exactly the amount of suspension-of-disbelief I'm willing to give a comedy show. Here's hoping this season doesn't spiral into mediocrity like the last one did.

It's actually not hard to get a train moving if you don't care about it stopping, or derailing.

I felt like they really tried to underscore how "old Tandy is dead" because last season it did get excessive with that part of him (preview spoiler; Carol getting in on some unsustainable lying though so they aren't abandoning that shtick entirely!)

The way they used "Did you get my train?" so casually like it was an email or phone call was pretty good. Really uneasy about the old gang returning. Needs more Jason Sudeikis in a hurry.

Tucson has a Union Pacific railway yard. A ton of cross country rail goes through Tucson to the east coast.

Loved the episode, I honestly thought this show would be tedious by now but they manage to keep it alive.

It should probably work out a little better seeing as this week's whole thing was that Phil no longer acts like a complete rear end in a top hat all the time.

Was the KWA joke used before in s1? I've *definitely* heard it before, because I remember laughing hard the first time. Maybe it was on Broad City? Argh, this is going to drive me nuts.

I've been holding off on this season to see if they'd get Phil & Carol back together with last season's cast, has that happened yet?

The end of this week's episode had Carol reuniting with the rest of the cast while Phil (Tandy) hides off in the distance.

Bob's Burgers had the "what up, my knitter" line, that's probably what you're thinking of

Hm that might be it, but 'Knitters with Attitude' just sounded awfully familiar. Maybe it being such a similar joke made it feel that way. Thanks!

Maybe my last year theory about Phil being secretly autistic about reading industrial instruction manuals was correct? I mean so far he started up a B-2 bomber and a train. Next stop: explaining to his brother how to use a SOYUZ escape pod

I'm a bit unsure about things going forward since they're bringing back the other characters and seem to be back to Wacky Unsustainable Lies as a plot device.
I guess next episode will be a good barometer as to whether or not we can expect another season of that old poo poo.

That does concern me as well. They really need to develop the characters they have, or we are back at the point of Phil and Carol are good and work well together and the rest of the people are bringing the show down.

I think switching it up and having Carol be the one who is telling increasingly unsustainable lies out of love for Phil will be really entertaining and completely different than Phil telling increasingly unsustainable lies for the love of himself. The main plot thread of this episode was that he really has changed and cares more about Carol than himself, and so does she.

We got our first carcass sighting at the beach. The whales I mean, not the cameo.

This is fun to watch so far. Now all they have to do is murder off the other cast to sustain my interest. (Except Todd.)

I agree totally. I started losing interest in the show last season when it was just "Phil is a total rear end in a top hat and idiot around normal people." These first two episodes were as good as last season ever was. Big question is if it can keep it up now that they're back with the other people. I feel like I'd have preferred them to draw out the Phil + Carol totally alone in the world stuff a bit more but who knows, that might have been hard to keep interesting.

I actually like the show last season when other people were hating it. But I'll admit the themes of despair and loneliness were much stronger when the show's less crowded.

I wonder how frequently the show will check in on Phil's brother.

Enjoyed first two episodes a lot. Phil is likable and him and Carol are a great team. I'm as nervous about introducing the rest of the cast back in as you all seem to be but I'm holding onto some optimism.
