Another genius episode of Arrested Development on Fox. How on earth was Jason Bateman gone so long? He's a great actor, and he's really funny in this series.
The joke with George Jr. and Maeby continued this episode...this time, he found out she was trying out for the school play, so he tried out as well. He got the part of a stand in for the character who was to kiss Maeby's character...and they nearly kissed, but Maeby's dad (still not a real actor) took the role as director, and George (Bateman) came in with a new bike for George Jr.
I just think the whole cousins kissing joke is hilarious...that kid is just wonderful, playing the innocent kid who wants more than anything to kiss hiss cousin- very weird character, but also very funny.
David Cross is, as usual, a total freak in this show...he gets more freaky with each new episode. At one point, he thought George Jr. was in the play, because he was gay and wanted to kiss the male lead- stupid to the fact that he really wanted to kiss his daughter.
I noticed one thing from last week- they show a "scene" from the next episode, but in reality nothing in the preview from last week happened this week. They didn't start to rebuild the frozen banana stand, and Job never threw a rabbit he bought into the ocean after it died. Kind of neat idea to continue the story at the end of each episode, even if it really isn't from the next episode. Fills out small gaps in the narrative.
