Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael spends quality time with Buster. George Michael auditions for a school play to get closer to Maeby. Gob breaks up with his girlfriend and has nowhere to go.

Our Take

A solid early episode that leans hard on Buster, and David Cross is weird enough to carry it. The George Michael play subplot is thin and mostly treads water, but the Gob-moving-in chaos keeps things moving. It’s funny in spots without ever hitting the rhythm the show would find a few episodes later. Worth a watch, just don’t expect a highlight.
