Jeez, I don't get the (few) complaints of disappointment. I thought it was par for the course for AD -- aka, fucking fantastic.
I do acknowledge that the pacing was a little frentic, but I thought it worked because it parallels the events of the show; with George Sr. out of jail, the new plea having to be entered, Tobias back and desperately looking for work, GOB and Steve Holt, etc., things are frantic in the family.

Yeah, this episode was a bit of set-up for future episodes (next one looks great), but it was still enjoyable

"We're not here to talk nonsense about Bob Loblaw."
I wonder if Fox enforced the creators to add the "Previously on Arrested Development" to help new viewers get into it.
I'm all for it (but I miss the opening credits), but they better not axe the often hilarious "On the next Arrested Development..."
Damn this show is fantastic. That chicken scene was TOO funny, and when Michael did his on the phone Lindsay said "that does sound like a Chicken"...
And LOL at the Free Chicken!

That one took me a few seconds to figure out (I was thinkin IRS :lol )
But yeah, great episode. Rushed, but they managed to stick so many jokes into it, amazing.

It was funny but there was an odd feeling to this one for some reason.
And Michael just kissed a mentally handicapped girl didnt he?

I had a feeling she was retarded. I guess the duck backpack should've been the real giveaway, right?
Search for UK Eyes Only on google.
It'll pull up some Documents about Iraq from 2002.

007: For Your Eyes Only
Meh, no matter how you market it, it's tough to get people into this show. I'm lucky I started watching it from the beginning.TheOMan said:
The marketing for this show sucks!
EDIT: Some art/entertainment is inherently like this, in my opinion. Metroid Prime, no matter how good its marketting, could not have become a pop hit, underground hip-hop can't beat out mainstream, etc.
yeah, and the show is only getting worse with in jokes past references. I don't think a single person would have gotten the whole chicken dance thing last night up until GOB said it was a chicken dance, which was already well past the funniest line "Have any of you ever even seen a chicken?" Tobias is only funny now IMHO if you get that he is really not supposed to be gay, which you would NEVER get if you didn't watch the first season where he was entirely ambiguous. now the jokes are obvious and you just assume he is gay.
not saying the show is bad, but it has definitely become a cult situation and I think the writers and producers are playing up to that. at this point I think it is obvious a 4th season is out of the question. :\

Let's just hope Fox allows them to finish this season (even if it is only an 18 episode season again), and gives them notice that the show is going to end so that they can wrap things up properly. It annoys me when they pull the plug without allowing storylines to be resolved.borghe said:

Thought this episode was a little weak this week, but then I saw it again. Some details and quotes:
Buster: "How about a turtle? I've always loved those leathery snappy faces."
Michael: "You certainly have a type."
Buster: "Oh for god's sake, can't you keep my hand to yourself?!"
Michael: "I'm amazed that Dad hasn't strangled himself with his belt yet."
Lucille: "Oh we're into all kinds of freaky stuff."
Michael: "Why do I eat breakfast before I come here?"
Lindsay: "You haven't had a serious relationship since your wife, and you guys weren't even speaking towards the end."
Michael: "A lot of that was the coma."
George Sr.: "I was wrong, there you just had to shut your eyes and take it, here you have to shut your eyes and give it."
Saddam's BBQ Apron translated: You'll take it the way I make it.
George Sr. :"I thought that was the guy who played the Soup Nazi! I told him how much I liked his work."
Michael: ".. and watch out for live-ins, you will get live-ins." (as opposed to hop-ons on the stair car)
The poppins sign says: "Please stay off my landing port, I'm not the tourist killing sort."
Dave Thomas: "How'd you like it if someone went after some STUPID person in your family?
Footage from the poppin incident was courtesy of WeeBBC.
Lindsay: "THAT'S Rita? .. WOW, she is way out of his league." (and Portia De Rossi would know!) :lol

Heh, it took me a while to realize that "Perhaps if you're willing to lose twenty pounds" was a request for a bribe, even with the narrator's help.
That episodes was just too frenetic. It's like they were forced to squeeze three episodes' content into one and cut out a lot of stuff (George Michael and Maebe, Maebe and STEVE HOLT!, Kitty, etc.) in the process.

I have to say, the Maebe/George Michael storyline is my favorite in the show. Who else is with me on this?

I think AD might be becoming too smart for me. I thought the British Eyes Only was just a spoof on James Bond. This show is insane. Also, the woman being retarded is damn golden.
