Arrested Development: Prison Break-In

Maebe as a film producer has made her character from just kind of there to a character I regularly look forward to seeing. And the fact that she still treats the job like she did school, passing the buck so casually. Its classic. This episode did feel a touch off. But I laughed all the same. AD on a bad night is still the greatest show on TV. What I loved was the flashback/forward joke with GOB. They flashback to the first time he saw his parents in the conjugal trailer and to forget it, he asks for a pill in his back pocket. I.E. A Forget Me Now, which is from a joke not made until the third season. So they literally created a new joke for a past episode so a future episode can reference a past episode. Brillance.

Is it me or does Fox only proomote this show only when this show is on? I don't think I've seen that many plugs for the show since last season. I thought last nights episode was good. Definitely needed a rewatch. Lots of little jokes I missed the first time. A few gems: GOB videotaping Tobias' affliction with a repulsed George Michael, "George Michael, put your face down by Tobias' drainage shunt." George to Michael, who's just accused him of planning an escape, "How dare you, I should shave your head and sit you under that (security)camera all night." Oscar trying to cremate Busters turtle that died from eating all of Oscars marijuana. Brilliant!

Another solid ep, obviously. Interesting tidbit I just noticed while watching tonight's Seinfeld on TBS at 6:30; Jerry, doing stand-up, wonders if there's such a thing as a head rejecting a hair transplant. So 2 Seinfeld references in one episode.

i don't know i think they're trying to get AD ppl to watch prison break. lol

Tobias was so, freaking repulsive in this episode. The funniest moment - narrating the exchange between George Michael and Maebe about bunking together in the prison: "This was the happiest moment in George Michael's life." Poor George Michael. He gets locked up with Tobias instead: "This was the saddest moment in George Michael's life." Golden Globes didn't include it...too bad. Darn Desperate Housewives - that show isn't funny. Not "HaHa" funny, at least.

thank you lampbane. Granted, what is happening to the show sure LOOKS like cancellation but until we hear official word from Fox that they are no longer carrying the show, IT IS NOT CANCELLED.

The show has NOT been cancelled yet. Repeat, NOT cancelled. Someone at Fox was probably like, "come on, maybe we can get the ratings up, get it renewed..."

Good grief, I was laughing so hard this episode. I loved George Sr's insensitivity with the ovarian cancer comment. Poor George Michael having to bunk with Uncle T-bag again. I think FOX might start promo'ing the hell out of AD (at least in relative terms) so that they can "prove" that they did like the show all along and it's not their fault. But they're not fooling anybody.

This wasn't the first time Oscar had been knocked out by a lid!

Actually, I found this episode to not be that great (compared to last week's). It had some halarious moments, but the plotting was off. Though I did like the dig at Prison Break, whose repeats replaced Arrested during sweeps. BTW, a co-worker noticed that during the prison brawl, a prisoner escapes using the jetpack!
