Lucille: Oh, her comes the 10:15 conniption, right on time. Honest to God, Buster, it’s like every little thing makes you seize up in terror lately. I just have no idea where you get that from. Get away from that stove. You’re going to light your hair on fire.

This is my favortie episode! I love Dr. Miller I wish he came back. This episode is so detached from the rest of the season. It has a lot of good G.O.B. moments. Best Best Best EPISODE EVER. COME"ON

I’m sure all the other 3,999,999 viewers already noticed these things, but:
When Lindsay visits George Sr. in prison, he says "I use them to pay off the other guys to stop them from hollering obscenities at my... my little girl. But you keep coming back here, honey, and I’m going broke."
(He says little girl.....not daughter....get it?)
And when Lucille calls Michael her 3rd least favorite child, she’s really calling him her least favorite child.
I’m so good at noticing things months after the fact. And once I know the ending.

I think she was just saying that to Michael because she was temporarily so mad at him. But I would agree that most of the time GOB is her least favorite.

This episode really supports Development Arrested’s idea that Lucille is an evil mastermind. In this episode, she's pure evil.

Can you please spoiler-tag that? Not everyone who reads these early episode threads has seen the later ones. Though you are right there. All the characters seemed a bit more exaggerated in this particular episode, anyway.

The way that I understood it is, since Michael is her 3rd least favorite child, that makes him her 2nd favorite. Throughout the series, whenever Buster tries to break away from Lucille, she then turns to Michael to do what she would want Buster to do. So her the order of her kids, from most favorite to least, goes: Buster, Michael, Lindsay, and Gob.
