She's in Rehab!
A bit too frentic, but absolutely hillarious. This series has some of the best running gags I've ever seen.

It sounded like he did, but I'm pretty sure he didn't.
At this point it doesn't matter, it's quite obvious nobody's watching

There was a "viewer discretion advised" prompt before the episode. I listened 5 times to George Michael's F-bomb. I think this may end up being kind of a big deal, but hey, there's no such thing as bad pub.

I replayed it three times, finally turned on the closed captioning. He (supposedly) says plucked. It even fits in context of the sentence whatever he was saying...
Great episode. Biggest laugh for me was after the drinking contest. "And now I must return to rehab..... She's in rehab!"

Mmm... Kitty... 
And it was definitely because of the Girls With Low Self-Esteem flashes, not for a supposed f-bomb. It's the same kind of disclaimer before every GGW commercial: "Warning! The following may not be suitable for some viewers." There was no f-bomb, come on.

Solid episode either way. I can't wait for next week's finale!
I hope they bust ass and get the DVD's out soon. I've only missed a few episodes this season, but I know it'll be better watching it all straight through.

It started out slow, but when it got rolling, man. Another classic. So many great moments:
Lucille using Buster's hook as an ice pick
Buster knocking himself out with the coconut
Gob calling Lindsey a surfboard
Ron Howard with another great line: "Now that's how you narrate a story."
George Michael calling Ann and using his full name
and finally Zach. As it started out I thought it was going to be a throwaway guest spot, wasted, but then Tobias pulls Zach's pants down to reveal... a never-nude. rotf Awesome!

Good episode.
I liked how they had George Sr wink at the bottle of pills like Lucille did in the beginning
Ron Howard taking cheap shots at the other narrator was great too.

Judy Greer the set up of the Bluth movie paying off more never-nudes!How about Buster's medication:
"TAKE THREE BY MOUTH DAILY FOR HAND PAIN (Phantom)"
How about the end:
Lucille "There were 250 CC's of your father in that Banana Stand!"
Michael "No touching"
a reference to (paraphrasing)
George Sr. "There was $250,000 in that Banana Stand!"
Prison Guard "No touching!"

Oh and a big as always to Ron Howard - I loved him taking shots at the Scandal Makers narrator ... "Real shoddy narrating. Just pure crap"
Oh, and how could I forget to mention Lucille doing the chicken dance!! That was great!
Oh, and George Michael definitely said "plucked"
