Just saw a preview–thank goodness! They finally got her off the dolls long enough to come back. She is terrific on that show.
Ha ha, “the dolls.” I’m just excited because it’s Michael Bluth time!
I was going to start a thread called “Even if it means me taking a chubby, I’ll suck it up.” But now I better not.
Maeby is still acting 53.
"Everybody thinks he’s Frank Sinatra . . . "

I like how George Michael said he would be traveling with Ann’s family, the Veals, but they’d be all “penned up,” or stuck in a very tight space, or something like that.
The conversation between George Michael and Maeby really made the episode for me, especially his quip–“She must not’ve found the drawings.”–afterwards. This is such a great show.
Liza helping the guy into the vertigo clinic, and falling over backwards, legs flying everywhere, was my favorite part. And it wouldn’t have been as funny if it had been anybody but Liza.
GOB flirting with the secretary was pretty funny too.
“Ah mothers… It’s like, ‘C’mon and just die already!’”
Agent Guy (Larry David’s manager on Curb Your Enthusiasm) to Maeby:
You want to go get a drink?
Maeby: Great! Are you bringing your wife?
Agent Guy: See you tomorrow!
And don’t forget the gang fight.
This show is hilarious.
Tobias’s mistake on the marquee made me laugh hard for some reason.
And I loved how they even fooled the viewer. I was POSITIVE George Sr. was going to read the love letters. Then the writers used that very assumption and went a different direction with it!
It’s Jeff Garlin. I thought it was Harvey Weinstein. 
“There’s a new gang in town- [BLAM] I’ve been shot!”
Actually, I’m pretty sure that was filmed before she injured herself, which makes me worry she won’t be back.
Oscar (looking anxious): We’re going to need a new floating thermometer. Oh, and can I have your Blue Cross card?
That one took me a second.

Still not sure I get it. I took it to mean the old one’s up where it shouldn’t be?
LAST SEASON:
GOB: “I [bleeped] Kitty!”
THIS SEASON:
Narrator: “GOB [bleeped] Lucille.”
I missed last week’s episode due to PVR issues; does that explain how Maeby gets mistaken for a movie executive?
How has this show not been canceled? It’s too good.
Don’t [bleep] with me like that.
This was a brilliant episode.
GOB wearing the “formal” eyebrows he stole from Sitwell: “They make me feel dressy.”
“Tobias is Queen Mary”
The whole “Sitwell” - “Standpoor” - Lucille 2 thing.
The place where Lucille 2 was treated for Vertigo is called the “Plumb Clinic”
I almost forgot the blue dot over George’s genitals.
While on a movie lot with her father who’s hoping to create buzz about that “Funke” so he can land a small role, she wanders into an office and finds a lackey to write her book report for her. The next day, when she’s leaving with the completed report, a producer asks to see it. “So you’re that Funke everybody’s been talking about,” he says, and the project is fast-tracked.
Tobias decides to create some “buzz” about himself to help get a role as a security guard, so he heads to the studio. He walks around the office, saying things like “How 'bout that Fünke!” in the break areas and generally making an ass out of himself as usual. Maeby, who tagged along because she is trying to avoid doing a school report on “Old Man and the Sea”, ends up sitting in an empty office when a low level script reader walks in, thinking the office is her’s. She asks him to read “Old Man” for her. Later, Maeby introduces herself to the Jeff Garlin character and he thinks that Maeby’s the up-and-coming Fünke who’s been the talk of the office.
Garlin said Maeby looked too young to be a studio exec, and so she pretended to be flattered (“Marry me!”).
The other joke is that after Tobias spent all day talking up “that Funke,” (which got Maeby her job), he then intorduces him self at the audition as simply Tobias.
