Arrested Development 3.01 (THREE!!!): "The Cabin Show"
How do I know it's going to be a fantabulous season? I had five things on my wishlist. This episode contained ALL FIVE of them. Okay, technically four, but that's debatable. My wishlist:
1) George-Michael/Maeby
2) Lucille, the Bitch Goddess
3) GOB
4) Buster shrieking
5) STEVE HOLT!
Sure, Buster didn't shriek, but 4.5 out of 5 isn't bad! And now to list all the marvelous things about "The Cabin Show":
-- Only AD would do Susan Smith jokes, with Lucille saying, "Good for her." LOVE her going off post-partum medications after 33 years, and her talking about "that handsome young doctor on The Today Show".
-- "Do you taste these tears? Taste my sadness!" And omigod, we got STEVE HOLT!, the best damn character ever, and that's saying a lot. Plus, *two* of the arms-raised "STEVE HOLT!"s (like the one in my icon.)
-- The return of the "Mission Accomplished" banner.
-- Lindsay: "And I'm going to buy a car. The Volvo." Michael: "You're not going to spend money, and this [photocopy] is not a Volvo." Lindsay: "Oh, that's from sitting on the copier."
-- "Why don't you pop a tent in front with your cousin Maeby? This is a good chance for you to rub off on her." God, I love AD's addiction to tasteless incest jokes, including the fake teaser with SH!/M/G-M. As I've said before, Shawkat and Cera are simply *marvelous* young actors, especially the awkward reaction shots.
-- Kitty with blue handprints on her rack. "Say goodbye to these...." will never, ever get old.
-- I'm going to be sad to see Barry Zuckerkorn leave (stupid CBS sitcom), but I've heard the new Bluth lawyer will be... Scott Baio. BWAH! (And yes, I'm serious.)
-- Oscar's inmate number is #24601. Hee!
Holy shit, I love this show. Don't forget to check out www.imoscar.com -- it even has haikus!
Now it's time for Kitchen Confidential. Will Tippin! And since I'm obsessed with how Bradley Cooper and Jamie Bamber look so much alike, I've decided that KC is the alternate universe in which Lee escaped the apocalypse and opened his restaurant. Allow me my delusions, please.
