Lucille: And it’s so nice not to have to worry about getting pregnant. The doctor said I couldn’t be a mother now if I tried.
Michael: And that was without even interviewing me.
Michael: Are you serious?
Wayne Jarvis: Almost always. I was once called the worst audience participant Cirque du Soleil ever had.
Michael: This is a big accusation.

I don’t know 31 seems to be about the age GOB should be, maybe a smidge older. I think that George Micheal, Maeby and Steve Holt should actually be a little younger according to a timeline. And this is shtupping we’re talking about! SHTUPPING!!!

...You’re not gonna let that one slide, are you buddy????

Since George Michael is 16 and Michael married Tracy when he was a sophomore in college (19 years old), that puts him and Lindsay at 35 years old right now. GOB is older than that, probably 37 or 38. We know Buster is 32. Plus, in "The Ocean Walker," the wedding footage is dated 1989, three years after the slide incident. Since Michael was 19 in ’89, Buster was 13 in ’86 (and GOB 19). A little old to be on the slide, hmm?
Everything lines up EXCEPT the date on the slide video.

It is a bit strange, but when you consider that emotionally Buster is still about 10 and GOB is still about 16, it makes some sense. I mean, Buster still loves the swings (not that I’m saying there’s anything wrong with swings — I’m 21 and I still love the swings... but you see my point.)

Fair enough, but the actors playing Young Gob and Young Buster don’t look 13 and 19...they look 10 and 16.Chelpo wrote:leez34 wrote:Since Michael was 19 in ’89, Buster was 13 in ’86 (and GOB 19). A little old to be on the slide, hmm?

It probably is a small inconsistancy, but it’s one that you can argue your way around if you really care about consistancy — perhaps Buster and GOB just looked young for their ages.

Two things :
When Barry is trying to microwave a ding-dong without taking the tin foil off, you can see a jar of "Maybe Tonight" candy right next to the microwave.
When Tobias sees his iraki-landscape-looking testicles on TV, he’s not only sitting with his legs spread but you can also see a woman in the background, walking by, holding a big blue ball.
I love how, at the beginning of this season, there’re so many blue elements on screen ... like the blue helmets ressembling the BMG’s bald heads in TOW they Build a House.

Nice finds, Bear! I had no idea about either of those.

Does anybody else wish that they had shown Lindsay wearing the Shemale shirt in another episode?! It could have been another running gag with Lindsay’s clothes, like how she always wears the SLUT shirt. I would have loved to see that, but I don’t think even Lindsay is dumb enough to misinterpret the real meaning of the shirt’s logo.
Another thing they could have done with the shirt is have it end up in the attic where George Sr. was hiding at the time and have him wear it around like he did with Tracy’s maternity clothes. I would have literally been on the floor laughing if I’d seen that.

It seems like they simply forgot or something, because that’s what I thought was going to happen.
Also, I don’t know about her not being that dumb that she wouldn’t wear the shirt, because it looked like she was rather thrilled when Maeby gave it to her. « Older posts
