Last night’s episode of Arrested Development was absolutely top drawer. All I knew about season two from the beginning was that Buster’s hand gets bitten off by a seal and is replaced by a claw. This was that very episode.Michael spends this episode attempting to discover if Maggie Lizer’s baby is really his or if that is just the latest in her insane series of lies.
It’s amazing how many jokes the writers can pack into a show 22 minutes long.
The episode was jam packed with hilarious moments.
The reveal that the ‘Welcome Home Buster’ sign was actually a doctored version of the sign from a previous episode which read ‘You’re Killing me Buster’.
The seal with the yellow bow tie.
The digs at the Simpsons’ ‘geek writers’
“Sacremende”
The ‘very literal’ doctor
“What a spanking I gave her in court today.”
GOB’s ‘terminally ill cats’.
The gay cops ‘making out’.
The flashback to the bit we didn’t see last week with Maggie dropping her fake pregnancy belly.
The result of Buster’s salute.
Buster massaging Uncle Oscar while forgetting he now has a hook for a hand.
“Is this our little bundle of... two gay cops’ baby?”
The hot cops music at the end.
Perhaps the funniest thing though was how George Michael walked through the episode with such a brilliant bewildered look on his face. From Lucille at the hospital, distraught over Buster hugging him and crying “You’re the baby of the family now” to his Uncle Buster clinging onto him with his hook hand to his Dad almost getting him shot dead by insisting he break into Maggie’s apartment to him having to sit beside the kissing cops.
The season two DVD should be arriving through my door any day now. I cannot wait.
