Loved the dig at Tom Cruse at the start.
Also, <paraphrased>
Michael Bluth: "You're going to get what you most desire."
George-Michael: "Maeby?"
Michael Bluth: "Definitely!"

See, I had the complete opposite opinion -- I thought this might be the worst of the entire series. I might've laughed once during the entire episode. Watched it with another huge Arrested Development fan, and it didn't get a reaction from him either. Oh well.

the word the earlier poster was searching for was PUN. Words that have a double meaning (not dirty) ... if you watch a flick like Airplane, it's filled with great PUNS.
Anyhow, I thought this was one of the funniest episodes yet. I am so glad to have the show back. The ending wasn't satisfying, but other than that, they haven't missed a beat. They did mention last season the Steve Holt/Gob connection (in the election episode I believe). Loved the Reno slogan.
Gob: "Michael, I've made a HUGE tiny mistake".
Boss: "and bring out the leather pony"
Michael: "Leather pony? What's that?"
Tobias: "I don't know...we don't have that during the afternoon"

Come on, this episode was loaded with double entendres! As other people noted, almost too many.

The first end of the "MNF" doubleheader between the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints (the game was rescheduled because of Hurricane Katrina) scored a 10.9/17 for ABC at 8 p.m. The debut of "Surface" on NBC took second at 7.1/11, just beating "The King of Queens," 6.9/11, and "How I Met Your Mother," 7.2/11, on CBS. The WB grabbed the No. 4 spot with the season premiere of "7th Heaven," 3.8/6. A move to a new night didn't help FOX's "Arrested Development," which combined with the series premiere of "Kitchen Confidential" finished fifth. UPN trailed with "One on One" and "All of Us."
Not good! Finished behind WB?

Yeah, although one saving grace for this show is having American Idol as a lead in when it comes back, if they decide to go that route. They need something to pump up the shows ratings.

I thought it was top notch all the way. Just brilliant stuff, and it boggles my mind that it could end up behind some WB show and that people just aren't watching this. It's comedic genius, and with all the pathetic sitcoms out there I can't believe AD isn't #1.

The poor ratings are the result of no lead in AND a new night. Even though the show lost viewers after the Simpsons last year, it still helped retain a small percentage of them. This show isn't going to make it standing on it's own, it needs a lead in.
