Ah, so lame but oh so funny. Nice to see they're still going for the cheap shots.

I thought the first act was a tour de force, the second act held its own, and the third act was a letdown, since it was just a long setup for the last joke, which was telegraphed. The next on was one of the best though.

Definitely one of the best, especially the next week on segment, laughed so much.
I'm sure when I watch it again it'll be even funnier, there is just so much you miss.

George Micheal is getting funnier every episode. 'I'll stay in the car until the sun sets'. 'Rub off on each other'. Classic stuff.
The hand print on the back of Kitty's head was great.
Portia really needs to eat though. In HD you could see the blue viens under her chest. (Not that I was staring at her chest). Speaking of Portia's chest, was anyone else waiting for the joke that never came when she told Micheal that Tobias misses 'THESE!' and motioned to her chest.

"Well, there's mirrors... so it'll look bigger!"
"I slept in the car because I knew my snoring bothered you, and I left the recording so you wouldn't know I was gone."
Hilarious episode.

Hillarious episode.
Don't forget to check out I'm Oscar (dot com). It's got Oscar's actual blog entries, including this one:

It’s been a week since my last entry. I can explain. Last Thursday, I was counting ants in the prison yard and it was a scorcher but I remember, I started killing the ants with my feet, yelling “Die you little black bastards, die!” I got stabbed – a whole lot.
When I woke up in the infirmary, I was surprised to find out that my stabber was the leader of an equal rights gang called: RAVIOLI or Rapists Against Violence Against Insects. When I went to apologize for killing the ants, I pointed out that ravioli doesn’t work as an acronym and they stabbed me again. Please God get me out of here! I think that’s blood on the keyboard. Yep, it is. I’m Oscar Bluth and I need medical attention!

Quite possibly, the greatest episode ever. Wonderful show in every regard, and thrilled to have it back again.
Love the subtle reference to a line from last season:
Michael: "Almost had PopPop in Reno."
GM: "Yeah, so did I."

From Oscars's blog:
After several weeks in the “big house” I’ve come to accept
I might be here for a while. Although this is the most horrible experience to date, I’m growing accustomed to
the pain. I do all that I can to keep my chin up. The other night before lockdown, just after my sweet mate (I don’t think that’s the term used) finished, I said to myself, “It’s getting better, you didn’t weep this time.” In this
acceptance I’ve decided to give myself a nickname…I
haven’t thought of it yet but I will…what else do I have
to do all day?! Well, when I’m not being gang ban…anyway
a nickname in prison is like a real name on the outside, it’s what people call you. I’d like to have a name that garners respect or at least stops me from being someone’s bitch. That’s where you readers come in…I’m Oscar Bluth and I’m taking nickname submissions.

After tonights, I can honestly say, this show fails to disappoint.
What was the deal with the statue of the kid that found the hand in the park? I obviously thought it would tie into buster getting his hand back.

DVD Talk Godfather & 2020 TOTY Winner
A lot of funny lines, but nowhere near last season's finale (that just won an Emmy last night). I'll miss Barry, but in any case it was getting harder to believe Michael would continue to employ him, so maybe it's for the best.
Here's the bad part : I can't imagine anyone who wasn't already a fan of this show tuning in tonight and really embracing it. AD is so full of inside jokes and continuing story lines that I'm afraid a newbie would be completely lost.
