Arrested Development 3/21

No thread yet

I thought it was another solid episode though you could see some of the jokes coming(Buster becoming a witness)

Henry Winkler's lawyer character that loves prostitutes is great. His line about his date having 2 jobs and then showing the mug shot was hilarious

Buster and Anyong need their own show.

Great stuff. The blind dog walking into the door at the end was a perfect way to end the episode.

The "Next Episode" bits are the funniest of the show.

What's with all the lipstick Jeffrey Tambor's wearing? I'm watching it on FOX in widescreen (not HD but still really good). It actually looks like the whole cast is over-made up. This is bound to stand out once they go HD.

I believe this is the first time that material from the "Next Time" segment made it into the next episode (Tobias stealing the files).

"BS"

I was crying from the Tobias break-in attempt, oh, that was some funny stuff. When the prosecutor smacks Tobias's knuckles and he can't make a sound and had to bite down on something, oh, man, tears were flowing down my cheeks.

Yeah, I was diappointed that for the first time, the "next on" segment from the previous episode actually ruined some plot points for this episode (ie her not being blind.)

I assumed she really was blind since the "next on" segments are usually sort of made up/ not shown so when it was revealed she really wasn't blind it was kind of a let-down.

I hope they don't continue to do this. I like how the "next on" segments are funny stand-alone bits.

Nope, it was the bit a few weeks ago with Tobias finding out that his Frightened Prisoner no. 5 would have to be nude in the shower.

The 'next time' clip appearing in a Wednesday night "Introduce Arrested to mainstream America" episode might have something to do with it.

This show is excellent!

Some funny lines:


I don't want my son to abuse the legal system like the rest of my
family. After all, we're going to need it for years to come."

Shape up or ship up

This guy's wasting our time, take away his grilled cheese.

Mr. Bluth, Justice is blind.

What's gotten into you? Have you been eating cheese?


Tobias and his cat moves were nice.




Things I must have missed:

Why does the Korean boy now speak English?

Why did blind Julia put on glasses after having sex? (guess this was a
tipoff for later in the show)

Ahhh. It felt like I had missed an episode watching this week's show; I forgot they had that Wednesday airing.

Anyway, such funny stuff. I love how a group of shows has a mini-plot, and then they move on.

I just hope that we see Julia's character come back as a semi-regular. Unlike her character in Watching Ellie, she seems very comfortable as this character.

I agree. I hate that the "not blind" bit was ruined.

My favorite line was after Jason Bateman hit her in the face with the Bible and the guards start wrestling him out of the room: "That was my plan. What do you have?"

Carl Weathers being shown next to Tobias on the organization tree was a great touch.

Tobias' "break-in" was hysterical!!

Michael: "It's not like there's a set of rules that was sent down from on high."

I thought it was funnier on the previous ep's previews, as it looked like Tobias was spoofing Cathrine Zeta Jones' jewel heist scene in Entrapment.

Yeah, that was a teriffic episode. I think Henry Winkler is perfect as the world's worst attorney. Hopefully they continue to use him. My favorite bit from the episode has to be the next week bit when the ten commandments falls on his car and he looks to God for some answers.
