Ostriches: Arrested Development Season 4 Overview

Jun. 16th, 2013 | 03:44 pm
location: 2003

Season 4 overview

These are my personal opinions. Yours may differ.

First off I want to say that I had been watching this show since first season when it was on Fox. I remember even signing internet petitions to save it.  I'm no trendy newcomer to this show.

I felt season 4 was just ok. It wasn't horrible and it wasn't mind blowingly awesome.

I know there was a lot of hype built around the season, and what you see and what you expected are 2 totally different things. I learned that with "Push and Shove" the hard way. But I think you shouldn't advertise something that is not there. Please don't mislead. Like when No Doubt said their albums was going to have a lot of horns on it. When I listened to it there were barely any horns on it.

Anyway enough about No Doubt this is about Arrested Development (the series).

There were weak episodes. I felt the Lindsay and George Sr. ones were weak. I fell asleep watching "Indian Talkers". Michael's were ok. I know some people were dissing his episodes.
I really liked
G.O.B.'s and Tobias' episodes.

I think I watched these episodes in the wrong order. Even though they claim that you can watch the episodes in any order I think episode 1 "Flight of the Phoenix" should be watched first and episode 15 "
Blockheads" should be watched last. My method was to watch the episode character by character.

After a while of watching the episodes I was thinking "Where is the new footage?". After a while watching the same scene from different viewpoints got boring.

Also there were a lot of loose ends that didn't seem to be addressed. I understand the part about Lucille 2 and Love being cliffhangers, but what about the bees?

Where did they shoot the Sudden Valley scenes? That looks familiar like I've seen it before in real life. Does anybody know where exactly it was shot? UC Irvine looks familiar too. I think they shot that in LA somewhere since there were Metro Rapid busses in the background when G.O.B. and George-Michael talk.

Read through my other episode reviews:
Maeby, Lucille, and Buster. P.S. The George Sr. and Michael episode reviews are combined in one entry.

Juice Binge

Jun. 15th, 2013 | 09:07 pm
location: Anaheim Plaza

Now I've finally watched all of season 4 of Arrested Development. I'm just going to say that I want to write another blog talking about how I liked season 4 as a whole. This entry is about Buster's episode "Off the Hook".

Buster sticks to the routine of helping his mother.

It was funny when he got all crazy making fun of her. I would do something like that, but with my dad.They reference the newer Psycho.Yeah like something I would do with the criticism.

Driven crazy and stuck in a confined space sounds like my immediate family.

I loved the juice binge. When Buster and Lucille 2 touched heads her hair dye rubbed off on his forehead.

That was a funny Alex Trebek disguise. Then Lucille asks "Who is Alex Trebek?". In the form of a question.

When Buster goes to the pawn shop Locker Hawkers is on in the background. He got the diamonds removed from his hook.

He got back to the army recruitment office when the policy changed for homosexuals.They set up Buster as a Drone pilot in the Anaheim Plaza. Who was the other drone pilot? He looked familiar.

Buster literally got a big hand.

When his mom tells him As if they wrote getaway for my own son. LOL! It was just the wrong one.

Buster didn't want to succeed at rehab.

Buster meets up with Ophelia love. She thinks he's just another down on his luck discharged veteran. Buster uses his big hand to help the Love family. He accidentally gives the finger at a rally.

Buster was next to the podium that had Barky Mark inside of it. So does that mean most if not all the Bluths were at that hotel?

It's funny when Buster is bragging to his mom.

When he leaves the Peanuts music plays.

Tobias and Perfecto use Buster as a monster.The juice box has an ostrich being used as a footstool. Buster got Donkey Punch that was served by Gene.Buster hit love with his giant hand. He also noticed Lucille 2 laying on the stairs of the stair car.

Buster dancing to fake block was so funny! I also like when he put it in the computer and heard the instrument and thought it was working.

And now I'm finished will all of season 4.

Noodles as a Weapon

Jun. 14th, 2013 | 09:36 pm

Now I have watched Michael's, George Sr.'s, Lindsay's, Tobias', G.O.B.'s, George-Michael's, Maeby's, and Lucille's episodes. I'm still trying to find out the right order.

"Queen B."

The Real asian prison housewives of the orange county white collar prison system. Was a funny concept for a show. I don't know why they were confessing such things to the camera.

The lady who played Noh was in Seinfeld as the lady who worked in the nail salon. She is a character actor. Bobby Lee in drag as Mrs. Oh. Too bad there was no Tank or Bae Sung. Lucille is with them?

Old looking razr phone Nice touch!

The toast with hook holes was funny.

The claiming stuff was funny. Actually that happened to my grandma. My cousin claimed a ring back when she was a kid. I claimed a teapot that was mine before my mom gave it to my grandma by accident which was really mine to begin with. It took years to get it back. Then my grandma thought I collected teapots. Getting an unwanted teapot still beats really tiny clothes.

Lucille 1 and 2 are dressed similar at the trial. The trial was at a seafood restaurant?

The Chinese owning the wall reminds me of Americathon. The shooting of the reality show was funny. Noodle shiv was funny too. How was a that an effective weapon?

The unedited video looked like something I'd find on youtube. The gang was claiming her stuff just like her family.

This explains how she got into rehab and the musical. The bad winking is back there is a poster of Betty Ford in the office. Alright a Seacrest joke. Can't get enough of those!

Tobias needs a villain for his musical. Mentioning it got her to talk about her problems. Gangee is based on Gangee (Lucille). I hope people don't figure out who I based some of my characters on. They are mostly based off people I went to school with.

Lucille sang an audition song about her life. Lucille Bluth is called Lucille 2 at rehab.

Melendez brothers reference so 90s!
Donny and Rocky Richter
Cody and Zack (Mentioned in senioritis)

She swapped signatures with Michael like he did with his dad.Rebel's boy likes ice cream like the Bluths do. The boy says George Maharris looks like Michael. Another dead dove in a bag. Gene always surprises her! Gene works at Thin Wally's.

Shirley MacLane was in Gangee 4 and Gangee.

Barky Mark took the idling boat for Lucille.

Lucille sees an ostrich pinata. Tobias is talking about parts and not her personally. There was also a parrot pinata sticking with the bird theme.Tobias looks more like Smurfette. The Love Boat. LOL!

This is meant to be watched before episode 15.

"Off the Hook" is the only episode I have left to watch.

Bruises, Brawls and Ribs

Jun. 13th, 2013 | 12:41 am
location: The Dole

I'm disappointed because I thought this was the last time I had to turn in those stupid job searches. But I got reeled in for another one. Twenty-five more!

When I was leaving I tripped on a planter outside, and hurt my leg because I was messing around with my MP3 player. You know how they tell people not to walk and text? Mine should be don't walk and go through an MP3 player. It made me think of when I was doing the same thing in 2011, and sprained my ankle. At least the ground was level this time. I only hurt my leg and almost crashed into a pole.

I tried the Burger King Rib Sandwich. Sorry no pictures. I really wanted to try this since I missed out last time when they had ribs in 2010.

When I gave my name for the order. Why can't they just use numbers? Like they use to. Anyway since I have an extremely hard and complicated name to spell even though it's a common and trendy name of it's time people still can't spell it. So I used my nickname and they STILL got it wrong. I hate my first name so much!

I have to say that the patty without the sauce tasted great. As a whole it tasted fine sorta. The sweet pickles went well with the sauce. The sauce was good at first, but then the flavor stayed in my mouth even after I took a drink of soda. A spicy tangy flavor. I think I would try this sandwich again with just the dry patty and the bun.

I ordered it with onion rings and boy did it taste good by adding them. I would have ordered rings anyway. I just like onion rings. I even like them along side, but not inside whoppers. I think I inherited the taste for onion rings for my dad. Somebody told me you inherit the taste of food you like from your parents. Which may or may not be true. A militant vegetarian or vegan could have meat loving parents.

Like others have said this is not a replacement for the McRib. It's similar, but something different.

Then my day concluded by watching the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks brawl. Oh yeah and there was some baseball game going on too.
