Ahh Franklin.

Joe Blankenship

I like these fun facts

Athasin

Man at the end of the first episode they said to the Doctor nice job Frank! The Doctor was called Dr Stein. Dr Frank Stein !

Vee

Franklin!

Tim Goens

Couldn't agree more!

Marcus Cato

The close up shot of Franklin might be my all-time favorite moment in Areested Development. The way we've seen the close-up anxiety shot a million times before, and the way they set it up with the reaction shots of Gob and George Sr. Too good. And Buster (as Franklin) calling Lucille "ya freak bitch!" Too much. πŸ˜‚

Franklin! Also, the cameraperson being visible is something that wouldn't have been there on the broadcast version, because that would have been in the part of the picture that typically doesn't show up on televisions. It doesn't hold true when you're watching it on a computer screen, so there are lots of fun moments in older TV shows where you can see occasional boom mics, camera people, and all sorts of good stuff.

This might be my favourite episode.

β€˜Meet the Veals’ may be in the top 5 in all sitcom history for being the most unhinged. The introduction of Franklin the puppet cannot be adequately described, it must be experienced.

FRANKLIN IS HERE EVERYONE.

Thank you for saving me the trouble, was just about to mention that!

The bit about "22 units cut back to 18 units" refers to Fox cutting the season's episode order from 22 to 18 because of poor ratings. George Sr.'s video in camo and a turban refers to a video issued by a similarly-dressed Osama bin Laden (still in hiding when this was broadcast). Tony Wonder's DVD titles "Use Your Illusion/Use Your Illusion II" were already used by Guns n' Roses for their double album in 1991. Michael's new doctor is played by Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer Simpson, which is why he says "D'oh." The dramatic zoom on Franklin's face in the limo is one of my absolute favorite jokes from this series.

Patrick Flanagan

When the Dr mutters "Doh" - that's because the actor is Dan Castellaneta, the voice actor for Homer. :) (also Grampa Simpson, Krusty the Clown, Mayor Quimby, countless others)
