Seems that way.

Though there is a bit of forshadowing in "Bringing Up Buster"—specifically George saying Buster spent 11 months in the womb. No he didn't—Lucille simply lied to George to make the conception date match-up with the most recent time they had done it, hiding that she was screwing Oscar and Buster had to be Oscar's son…

French, shit, I screwed that up.

Bourne: That episode is amazing. Come on! But the best episode is, I think, Good Grief. Holy shit is that episode perfect. Come on!

Yeah, I think George Michael and Gob are my two favorite characters as well. About a year ago I introduced the show to my roommate, and he just couldn't get enough of Tobias, feeling that every line that came out of his mouth was pure gold. The cast was ridiculously deep, full of tons of people who would never be…

"Mon frere." That's Italian for "brother." I don't know why I know that, I took four years of Spanish!"

Yeah, the daytime Desi's are great. Especially considering when you translate the Spanish at the Desis, you get the award being for "Best actor of a boy is…" and that the in memorium montage is in honor of a "Freckle Make-Up Artist."

Do you mean the scene that ends the penultimate episode? Because I remember a very different scene, not involving Nathaniel at all, ending season 4.

Yeah, after Stewart's MTV show and then little remembered syndicated Paramount show, he was absurdly hot for what turned out to be a ridiculously long time while he was doing pretty much nothing but stand-up and occasional guest star-stuff (love that Newsradio appearance). It's amazing how long he was in the running…

I'm a massive geek, but I think Cosby has two seasons with the same opening credits/theme song. I think they mainly changed the theme song if there was a change in the cast, and with the number of cast members they added and that left the show, that meant there was a season-to-season cast change in every season but…

Good to see that the AV Club comments are now of the same caliber as everywhere else on the internet. Sigh, I miss all my old friends. Come back Joe! Come back, Tom Waits for Snowman! I'm lonely here, and twitter is boring.

Buster's education is mentioned later in the season in "My Mother the Car," where Buster leaves his archealogical equipment and findings in the back seat of the car, to the detriment of Michael.

Clips accompanying the selections
What's up with the clips? A bunch of them don't seem to make any sense at all. There is:

Which came first, laugh tracks, or people complaining how they don't like laugh tracks?

Yar, that's Handsome Pete! He dances for nickels.

Andy Dick might suck now, but he was great on Newsradio. If you think it's an embellishment to say Newsradio was one of the greatest ensemble shows of all time…well, then you haven't seen Newsradio.

I can't speak for BEE, but to get a bit pretentious for a sec and channel my younger, English major self: Something Wild and Blue Velvet are both films deeply studied by literary theorists as being quintessential examples of Postmodern film. Hell, In his book "Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism,"…

How was this in any way a bad review of the episode? It's pretty damn positive, and he mentions at length how the show has happily rebounded this year, say it's not as inspired as the first few years but has grown more comfortable with what it can do (which I think is pretty fair—the season was very good, and much,…

I don't love the first bit of Castaway, and that stuff is quite egregious, but I actually think the post-island stuff does a great, great job of giving a quite honest "uh, what the hell do I do with my life now?" feel to the proceedings. And the island stuff is amazing, of course.

I'm a fan of four Robert Zemeckis films—Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Contact (yes, Contact) and Castaway. The rest, not so much. But four movies by one guy is still not bad, and Replay does sound pretty interesting. Hopefully he brings that meditative Contact/Castaway feel, and not the hacky bullshit…
