it wasn’t as good as the last few weeks, but it was good. And it looks like it’s coming back next year??? - Tell him he has a nice hard cot waiting for him. - You’d do that to your brother!? ---

Who was the blue guy who stole the role from Tobias? It wasn’t his old acting coach was it? ---

That explains so much. Have they actually said out right that George Sr. is not Buster’s biological father? It seemed like they were hedging around it more this episode than before with Ron Howard saying Oscar _thought_ that he was Buster’s real dad. And was I the only one who thought Kitty was looking pretty good this episode? ---

> [@audiobottle](#): > > Have they actually said out right that George Sr. is not Buster’s biological father? The narrator hasn’t, no. I’m not sure Lucille has ever admitted Oscar is the father either, but I’d assumed he was. Interesting. ---

This show had better be coming back. All the wasting water references, Lindsey leaving the tap running while talking, the bath with a bottle of wine, Buster’s long shower to wash off the smell of Lucille. Tum’s Tablets on Micheal’s desk. Bandages on Gob’s fingers. Oh and on second viewing you I could see the camera flash taking the picture of Gob and George Sr. Great stuff. ---

Anyone else notice the 10 Commandments in the background of the court fight? Tum’s? I don’t think I get that. Am I forgetting a reference to an earlier episode? ---

Loved the Americanized “Le Cousins” movie. It got shorter every time someone mentioned its duration. 😃 George Michael’s sign at the protest said “Cuz (it’s a) sin.” 😃 The return of the sad peanut’s song. Love it! ---

Holy crap, that was funny. What I saw of it, anyway - I was kind of distracted. I need to watch it again. “Dad’ll be crushed!” “Well, we don’t really need to tell him, do we?” ---

It says something that my favorite joke from Desperate Housewives (which i really do think is pretty well-written) was on another show. “It’s a satire!” ---

> [@Slacker](#): > > George Michael’s sign at the protest said “Cuz (it’s a) sin.” 😃 And he also made up a sign that says “It’s a tricky issue with a lot of gray areas.” Or something. Classic. And let’s not forget GOB singing that Bryan Adams song. 😃 I thought it was Bon Jovi until just now. That would’ve been even funnier because of the names. ---

OK, I’m slow with this, but: why is the oldest sibling’s name (pronounced “Jobe”) always spelled “GOB” (all caps) here? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arrested-development-4-17-05-spoilers/299815.md?page=2)
