second season has some of my favorite running gags everrr i do thinks it’s a step above

LookingForOwls

Hard to believe that season 1 is the weakest of the initial run of 3. Great season, one of the strongest first seasons of any sitcom ever imo. Edit: Added "first seasons" - it's not one of the best seasons of sitcoms period obviously if it's the weakest of the 3.

They’ve been foreshadowing the Iraq shit all season. Remember Micheal kept remarking how much Saddams house looked like theirs in the episode with Heather Graham

This is one of my favorite episodes from season 1. I agree, GOB is the standout in this episode (and many other episodes). I'm so excited for season 2, it's my favorite season of the show! This season 1 finale has some fun callbacks ("I've made a huge mistake," "I've got the worst f***ing attorneys," "light treason," Maeby kissing a family member to try and get attention from someone who walks right past without noticing). Someone else mentioned Michael noticing how similar Saddam's house was to the model home 8 episodes earlier. Also, the low carb trend was sort of foreshadowed a few episodes ago when GOB and Tobias were coming up with a business plan; GOB suggested they invest in a bagel shop because everyone likes to "carbo load." I've seen this show countless times, and I still don't get the joke behind George Sr. saying he's going to get a lethal injection because his son won't eat a potato.

My assumption was tying into the Adkins diet, he wasnt thinking clearly (wouldnt take the lie detector test) because he wasnt eating carbs?

My interpretation was that G.O.B. has no business sense and couldn’t pick a successful business venture that reflected the needs or desires of potential consumers. Like his obsession in this episode with starting a business based on bees, even though that would clearly never sell. Poor G.O.B. desperately wants respect from his family but is pretty incompetent in general, which is one reason he’s so funny.

Wow, I totally misunderstood your reply. That makes sense for the lethal injection/potato joke! Thanks!

After Arrested Development, series creator Mitch Hurwitz & Will Arnett collaborated on the short-lived sitcom “Running Wilde” (2010). It stars Arnett as Steve Wilde, a self-centered, idle bachelor and heir to an oil fortune. The series follows Wilde's awkward attempts to regain the affection of his childhood sweetheart, Emmy, an environmentalist who had been living in the South American jungle, but whose young daughter does not want to return there and who secretly enlists Steve's help to keep Emmy at his mansion, leading to farcical situations and misunderstandings. You may want to check it out if you can find it. There’s a reference to the Bluth Company in 1 episode.
