Not the best episode ever "See Good Grief" ... but pretty close. This episode was fantastic. Nice jabs at the O.C., and the Bob Loblaw Law Blog! !!!!
Not to mention all the "lessons" ... absolutely fabulous.
For you NBA fans, I'm giving AD the Vince Carter "It's Over" hand gesture -- Arrested Development is the greatest situation comedy in the history of Earth.

Ocean Walker was an alright episode, nice throwback to older episodes. Prison Break-In was kind of lame, and I was worrying that the AD writers had lost their touch all together. But Making A Stand has restored some faith in Season 3.

It wasn't the greatest of episodes, and it just seemed like they were trying to remake Pier Pressure, but thankfully Pier Pressure is my favorite episode of AD...so I liked this one. I hope this episode is beginning of a turn around for Season Three.

Also, good to see Buster using two hands again.

no this one was really good. right up with the best of season 3. mitch hurwitz wrote it, which is probably why it was so good. got j walter weatherman and lesson jokes back in, toby kinda returning back to his normal gay ways, and the final countdown/it aint easy bein white thing on the cd player was fantastic.

awosome!

Something I just realized. Wouldn't this be a perfect episode for a new viewer? There is very little you need to know, or else it is explained, and it's hilarious.

great episode- best ending ever

Just like Pier Pressure.

Great episode, wish I could go into it more, but finals studying is a-calling.

the picture show was really stupid, and the end REALLY CONFUSED me, but other than that iwas was

HILARIOUS!!

I was good, definitely not the best ever. The whole music montage fell flat to me. But you've gotta love J. Walter Weatherman.

Definitely the best of the season. Finally there was an episode where all nine characters played a significant part in the storyline. I can't think of anyone who had a bad episode. I think this would have been a great follow up to the season premiere if all the Rita crap didn't come along. The beginning was good, nice to see them finally doing work at the Bluth Company again. The whole "stand"-off was pretty funny, I liked the "no matter what song you play it to" joke, they like cycled through the AD soundtrack. All the tricks being played at the end really got me. I thought Michael was really hurt when he fell off the balcony and then I thought Buster was going to be handless when he was shot. Overall a possible top 10 episode. I hope the eps to close out the season are like this. A

I thought it was one of the better ones. Totally kept my attention the entire way through. And just as a side bar, my cousin just watched it for the first time also, however, he is in the county jail on his way to a rehab. For some reason I just found it funny that the county jail is watchin' Arrested.

very good episode

the bad:
- the photo shot thing didn't work at all
- gob has a christian girlfriend?!
- michael stating the obivous (in prison break in, the "you're planning an escape" and today's dad is trying to turn us against each other) is getting a little obivous

the good:
- the return of j. walter weatherman
- great pacing
- buster's button

I think that's supposed to mean that he's back with Eve Holt!
Remember, if she gets pregnant, she stays pregnant.
