Arrested Development 1/23/05

Where's the usual thread for this, man?

Alright episode, but the usual good GOB lines.

"This goes for the guys too, because sometimes even the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man, you're living in Fuck City."

and

"I'm an idea man, I think I proved that with Fuck Mountain."

Not the strongest of the season, but still a good episode this week.

Tobias is Queen Mary.

The lines he had when he was talking to Buster about being his wingman were great.

This episode was hilarious.

"I'll even take a chubby and suck it up!"

Plus the rival "gangs" I was almost tearing up at that.

I thought it was "everyone thinks they're Frank Sinatra". Either way though it got a chuckle.

My favorite line was ".........I guess she didnt see the pictures". Michael Cera has such good comic timing for a kid.

Two of my favorite moments:

"I get hop-ons"
"Yeah, you get hop-ons."

"Well that's what Ask Jeeves said."

I liked that they revisited George Michael's crush on Maeby. I remember this being a huge deal in the first few episodes of the first season, but not really touched upon as of late. The George Michael / Maeby crush was one of my favorite jokes of the pilot episode.

From the official site....

Tobias, meanwhile, wants to plot his route to the studio where he’ll be auditioning tomorrow

Tobias and Maeby arrive at the studio and Maeby convinces her father to get the Funke name spread around the studio before tomorrow’s audition.

Tobias begins to create his own buzz. Meanwhile, Maeby looks for an empty office to use the phone, but can’t get through to George Michael, who was supposed to be writing an essay for her. An assistant enters the office and mistakes Maeby for a high-powered entertainment exec. Maeby assigns him her essay to write.

Over at the studio, Tobias loses out on the role he was up for. But a development executive notices Maeby carrying around her book report for The Old Man and the Sea and, when she gives her name, thinks she’s the Funke everybody’s been talking about. He immediately green-lights her version of the book, starring Jude Law.

Agreed. He's a very funny fellow. I've never seen anything like it in an actor that young.

Buster had a line early in the episode that had me rolling...but now I can't remember what it was. ARGH!

What did George Sr. say to Michael when he told him he was bored and wanted a book, all I heard was "Pop-pop..."

I believe it was "Pop-pop wants a Grisham!"

"Indeed, Starla and Buster did hit it off well, Buster being a sweeter, more supportive man than she was used to...and Starla being a woman that wasn't 70"

I think the last 3 have been great. It was the first few that were a bit of a letdown. But like you said still funnier than anything else.

Loved the progression of Singles City, Swing City, F*** City, F*** Mountain.

GOB: "Plus, I took his fancy eyebrows."

I can't remember the line later when Michael says " Are you wearing his eyebrows?"
GOB: " Yeah, they make me feel ?dressy?"

I also liked, "Do you get a windbreaker with the car?"

Except for the Christmas episode it seems like every episode this season has about a dozen posts in here saying it's a letdown, and for every one of those posts someone else says it was better than the last one. I guess they are managing to keep everyone happy Personally, I think they've been pretty consistent.
