I'm still laughing about "Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb."

Too many amazing moments tonight to count - I LOVED the attempts to make the family more likeable...I've never seen a TV show so accurately reflect the general brain-dead expectations towards comedy on TV.

Oh, and I loved Andy Richter's quintuplets jokes - another great self-reference.

I'm going to miss this show so much!

Same here. I don't think there will ever be a show as funny as AD.

Haha, that just reminded me about Andy at the dinner and claiming to be Emmett but Ron Howard said they couldn't show Emmett without blurring his face so I took that to mean it was actually Andy. What was the other name besides Andy, Donnie, Rocky, and Emmett?

"You'd scare the black of a telegram [beat] boy."

"Or as we like to call it, The OC-Disorder."
"Please don't call it that."

What? No love for Judge Reinhold?!?!

This episode was brilliant.

Other cameos:

Andy Dick
Judge Reinhold
Richard Belzer...maybe he was playing John Munch, which would be what, the 7th show he's done that on?

"You know Michael, if I may take off my acting pants for a moment and pull my analrapist stocking over my head"

Great shot at all the gimmicks networks use. 3-D, live episodes, and guest stars.

Let's hope this wasn't the end.

The other name was Cherith, probably a reference to Cherith Cutestory?

And saveourbluths.com is an actual website that got people together to send frozen bananas and strongly worded letters to FOX

Brilliant episode, this show will truly be missed by me and my friends. Nothing will ever be able to campare to the wonderful genious that is Arrested Development.

I salute you AD, for all the great times.

Does anyone think that maybe they might arc into Buster trying to date Lyndsey and they find out Lyndsey is actually adopted or something like that and George Micheal can be with Maebe and that is when we also find out GOB is dating Ann.

So was the ending different for the West Coast feed?

nope. same. even had the "still have to get ready for the west coast feed" line in there.

Best episode of AD, yet - and that's saying a lot. What a way to go out.

Really though, this show was just too good to last...

Okay - the "We'll just tell you; she's the one who dies" line caught me so off guard I missed the next 30 seconds. Luckily I could back it up. John Beard in "1979" also had me rolling. He's a local news guy here so that kinda adds a bit of the humor for us SoCal viewers.

Man, I'm gonna miss this show

Ah, so that's who it is. I was recently rewatching season one on DVD and kept seeing "John Beard as himself" and wondering who this recurring character was.

Good show tonight. I love the self aware stuff when done right.

I'd like to use a word other than "brilliant" just to be different, but that's what it was.

I salute your optimism, ChrisKnudsen

SAL--LOOT !!!

And to do it in a thread where just about all the other posts are bemoaning the end of AD, that Good Sir, makes it all the more impressive.

Possibly the best episode of a truly great series.

It was a cheap joke, but the 5th identical quintuplet insisting his identical face be blurred out in a photo next to his identical brothers had me laughing on pause for a good 5 minutes.

What a great episode!

So many great jokes and such a great episode. For some reason I laughed the most at Donny Richter saying "...you get an F" then hearing "Mr. F" in the background.

Didn't Andy Richter had a show where he was the father of quints? (oops, Draven mentioned it earlier...)

"Foam on your coffee? It's called a cup-a-kino, and you'll be surprised at how much it's going to cost you!"

For some reason my direct tv tivo season pass didn't record this, anyone else have a problem?

Quite possibly the single greatest extended-middle-finger-salute I have ever seen.

If this is truly the end, what a way to go...

Nope, just you.
