08.00 Law And Order
02.00 Arrested Development
Law And Order. Season 19, Episode 12. "Illegitimate" Cop suicide leads to...
One of my favourite things about Law And Order is the way some stories start off small and intimate and blossom into tales that affect the nation, or - sometimes - the world. Here is one of those. It starts off as a cop suicide and ends up tied to the Kennedy family.
The ending is a tad corny (Cutter bribes the culprit to plead guilty with his DNA test results) but it works when you consider it as a character study. Even Connie says it: the guy would rather be in jail and famous/important than free and anonymous.
Arrested Development. Season 2, Episode 14. "The Immaculate Election" George Michael runs for school election, Tobias dons his Mrs Featherbottom disguise for the first time.
Am I the only one who feels like they missed an episode? The opening of this one is rapid fire stuff as the narrator struggles to bring us up to date with the recent events in the lives of the Bluth family. Has this got anything, I wonder, to do with the fact that the Back 9 (episodes) was cut down to a Back 5 instead?
Whatever, this still makes for a pretty good episode. Video footage of George Michael (and later Buster) being the probable highlight.
Highlight? Law And Order (Kennedy family)
