The Carl Weathers stuff was great as was Lucille's cracking jokes about Lindsay's weight again.

The live feed from prison

"What a coincidence. My acting class costs exactly $1100."
"Thank you, Universe!"

"I don't want to go to that school. And Jamie is psycho."
"Well that could have saved me a lot of time"

Man I love this show. So glad they scheduled it opposite the suckiest 30 minutes of the Golden Globes.

What did the publicist do that was bad? I missed that.

I think my favorite part was George Michael being seen by the live feed from prison. "You mean when they said, "Hey, boy" they were talking to me?"

Oh, this is such a great show. Maybe it's just me, but the "on the next Arrested Development's" always crack me up. Do they ever actually show that stuff in the next episode?

Lot of great jokes. My favorite was when Jamie called George Michael "Opie" and the narrator commented that she should "watch her mouth."

Carl Weathers was cracking me up on the handouts and damages. Too bad he didn't show up with a fake hand...

Me too! I didn't understand at all why the narrator said that. This show is too clever for its own good.

You do know that the narrator in question, Ron Howard, WAS Opie, right?

that was the best episode of the season, so many great laugh out load moments. My favorite, had to be the running gag of buster hiding around the house, I loved how he had shirts with the same pattern as the area he was in.

I missed the opie refrence, though. Carl weathers was awesome.

I heard the PR chick call George Michael "Opie," then I got so busy laughing at that and wondering when they would make a joke comparing the Bluth family to the Cunningham family that I missed the narrator's comment. Then, to cover up my short attention span, I lied to Marge about having read her book.

Great episode! I missed the Opie reference as well. I'll have to rewatch it.

Can't wait for this show to come out on DVD.

Hold a second...George Michael, when did you get a job?
I work at the frozen bannana stand.
Ohhh...when you said that you had a job, I thought you meant , like a plumber, and I thought...'When did that happen?!'

Loved last night's episode, but the psycho PR woman was named Jesse.

I always love Gob, and the dissapearing principle of the school, where children are neither seen nor heard, was brilliant!

In the scenes from next week, when Gob opens the Aztec Tomb- er, box, and there's no response... excellent!

What was brilliant about that joke was that immediately after George Michael said he had a job I was thinking he got a "career type" job too, until he mentioned the frozen banana hut.

The Opie joke was great, but I was tearing up at the live prison feed and also later on when George Michael was flipping channels and flipped to the live prison feed with the two prisoners staring right at him. George Michael's reaction was priceless.

I can't wait for the DVD either.

This show is just brilliant. I have offically postponed recording Curb Your Enthusiasm until the West coast HBO shows it because this show is SO AWESOME.
