Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe first three episodes in general earned the show a Red Light from the Parents Television Council (PTC), who took objections to the incest theme between George Michael (Michael Cera) and Maeby (Alia Shawkat), the innuendos used such as "cornholing", "flamer", or Tobias (David Cross)'s homosexual comments, and the common usage of "censoring" expletives with a bleep. However, many fans argue that the innuendos used on the show are fairly vague, and would not be understood by children who didn't already know those terms. Additionally, while the PTC acknowledges that "'bleeps' are scripted into the program", it referred to Buster (Tony Hale)'s speech in this episode as being "censored by the network". Actually, Buster's actual words were anything but vulgar, as actor Tony Hale does not curse. (You can read his lips to see he is reciting the alphabet.)
- GoofsIn the first scene where Michael is using the cornballer and burns his hand, he's seen using a piece of ice in a rag to cool his burn. The piece of ice can be seen falling onto the counter out of the rag, but they continue filming anyway like it didn't happen.
Featured review
Funny!
The third episode in the Arrested Development series, "Bringing Up Buster" is another funny episode. It may be just a tad down from the first two entries, but it still has enough comedy and characterization to be another memorable episode. Plus we have come to care (or not care) about the Bluth family and we like to see every move they make.
This episode has Lucille not happy that Buster is hanging around her so she suggests that he works for the company. Meanwhile, Tobias is directing a school play that has both George Michael and Maeby acting in it.
Overall, this is a funny episode. I really love Tobias as a wannabe show artist and Buster is just too funny. I rate this episode 9/10.
