"Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. It's Arrested Development."

I just realized that when Lucille and George were getting intimate in the trailer at prison, they argue leading into the lovemaking and she calls him "My husband, the bear" and he says "this bear needs some honey". Assuming they kept up the role play, she may have called him 'big bear' at some point, and possibly when Gob was pressed against the window. He forgot the incident due to the clubbing, but he somehow remembered the phrase when he thought his dad had a heart attack, thus why Buster says "I never knew we were calling him big bear"
This show, still hiding jokes after my 800th rewatch haha
Edit: transphobes or people who will get mad at this for no reason DNI. this is supposed to be silly and fun.
Anyone else feel like Tobias isn’t actually gay but is instead an egg? I said it to my friend just now as if it was common knowledge but I don’t see anything online backing it up. The never nude thing is clearly indicative of bottom dysphoria, he dresses up as a lady multiple times, and I just get the sense that he’s a woman. I know the joke is that he’s gay but the never nude thing is just so blatantly trans to me. Anyone have opinions or supporting evidence to add?
For the longest time I loved Arrested Development, for its running gags and background jokes, not to mention its dry humour. But my friend recommended that I watch modern family and I’m currently in the middle of season 2 and it’s amazing, I still feel like AD is more clever in it’s writing (season 1-3 of course) but there’s 11 seasons of Modern Family and I’m guessing it either stays amazing the whole way through or it looses some of its steam. I want an honest unbiased opinion.
G.O.B. steals a file on the government's case against the Bluth Company that Maggie had given to Michael. Tobias is sent to Maggie's house to get evidence, George Michael tries to prove Maeby's fraud, and Lindsay fights to remove the Ten Commandments from the courthouse lawn.

Next Episode: Missing Kitty

" Ah, le clumsy adolescence. It's a phase we've all been through.
Except for me. I was like a cat. I always ended up on all fours.
... Like a cat."
Got a hard one for yall. S1E9 ‘Storming the Castle’: the very last scene in the episode shows Tobias in his “leather daddy” attire singing in a quartet. The song they’re singing (lyrics: there’s where my heart is turning ever, there’s where the old folks stay) was adopted as the official state song in 1935 by which US state?
Edit; as always, no cheating. But please feel free to listen to the song if you can find it!
The second to final scene with Lucille and Michael outside of the court house after Michael questioned Lucille in court. I know that she is a character that doesn’t show a maternal side but this scene she does a 180. It is very maternal, willing to sacrifice her reputation and pride to save Buster. She does it in an unethical and still Lucille way but the reason behind it is what any mother would do to save her child.
In the last season does anyone else think that Lindsey was added in through green screen. Like she wasn’t even interacting with the other actors. All of her scenes looks like she is just added in separately.
On S3E7 when George Michael is agreeing to go to the gala after reading wardens screenplay. He says: “because anything can happen when two people share a cell Cuz.” Then Maeby’s look prompts GM to say “it’s from New Warden” to which she replies “I don’t know what I was worried about”.
Why was that the happiest moment GM would ever experience? I don’t understand how that made him happy at any level.
