Out On A Limb (Arrested Development) - Episode Notes

Episode Notes

  • When Maggie tells Michael they last saw each other "8 1/2 months ago," he says "Could've sworn it was a year," referencing FOX's erratic scheduling of the series: "Justice Is Blind" aired 11 months before this episode.
  • This episode was aired back-to-back with "Hand to God".
  • This is the episode in which Buster loses his hand. It happens in the "On the next..." segment.
  • In this episode, Buster discovers the truth about his father, a fact he later forgets due to the trauma of his accident.
  • When G.O.B. can't remember his wife's name, he uses "Amy" as an example of a name she could have (albeit a "bad example"), a reference to Amy Poehler, who played the character and is Will Arnett's real-life wife.
  • Amongst the photos of the "series of escalating dares" that lead to G.O.B.'s marriage, he and his new wife are each eating a Skip's Scramble. They are also seen with stockings over their heads as they hold up a convenience store.

Famous quotes containing the words episode and/or notes:

    The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes over for thousands of years.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
