Arrested Development. Episode 7. "My Mother, the Car" Lucille frames Michael for a car accident.

And Gob comes to the rescue. My favourite part of the whole episode comes when Gob rushes to the rescue because he and Michael are brothers and kinda like one another! Awesome stuff.

Michael's amnesia is wonderfully handled. It's funny in it own right, yes, the show makes it hilarious by having Lucille conk him over the head with something every time he comes close to remembering stuff.

Royal Pains. Episode 3. "Strategic Planning" A senator's son falls ill, and it must be kept secret.

The case-of-the-week is fine, but I'm a bit worried by the type of patient. The show's first two episodes featured a recurring character called Tucker who is a teen with an obnoxious over-bearing father (Andrew McCarthy). This third episode features a patient who is a teen with an obnoxious over-bearing mother (Margaret Colin)!!

Huh? Surely they have more than one story to tell? Surely Hank can bond with more than one type of patient?

Highlight? Arrested Development (Michael's amnesia)
