It's a Protest-tacular!

Tonight on Arrested Development they quickly wrapped up how to keep George Sr. out of jail for a little while. He's now under house arrest and living with Lucille, who's making him into a sex slave. Providing ample opportunities for jokes about using their son Buster's rubber hand as a sex toy. Michael, meanwhile, gets launched into a silly storyline involving a small British neighborhood in Orange County that is somehow home to a scam that is the cause of all the families' problems. GOB (pronounced like Job, as in the Bible character) continues to avoid his son, Steve Holt!, this time by planning a magic trick to impress his father at George Sr.'s next hearing (hence the Protest-tacular!). Lindsey is relegated to nagging Michael to find a date, which he does in Charlize Theron, playing a Brit who is supposedly involved in the whole scam mentioned above. Tobiais continues to make homoerotic comments without meaning to while trying to find his next big acting gig (tonight's best: "I can't wait to sink my teeth into some leading man parts.") George Michael was barely on, as was Buster and Maybae was not on at all.

The best on-going joke was when George Sr. wanted to hire Andy Griffith (as himself, though he didn't appear) to be his lawyer. The prosecution brought in Harry Hamlin (as himself) to be a fake lawyer, too. Ron Howard serves as narrator so the inside joke of course is that Andy Griffith was his dad all those years ago.

I want more Buster! And more George Michael!

As for next week, it brings in another Ron Howard reference with Chachi: Scott Baio joins the show as the new family lawyer (now that Henry Winkler has his own show and can't play the family lawyer). His character is Bob Loblaw. I laughed so hard at that. (say it out loud: it's blah blah blah).
I gotta love a character named blah blah blah.
