Again, this will mainly be awfully high scores. Because, well...it just doesn't deserve any less.

I'm so glad you agree that Ready, Aim, Marry Me is the only show that sticks out like a sore thumb amongst 52 brilliant episodes. It's not a bad episode of TV, but it just features so many more misfires and cringe-worthy jokes than Arrested Development usually has.

The biggest problem I have with it is that it actually would have been quite a bit better if it hadn't had Uncle Jack. I've never disliked Martin Short, but that character just manages to ruin any scene he's in.

But hey, every show's allowed to have some failure, here and there

AJDaGreat08/08/2009

Very true. I think the Dragon character adds to the missteps too. His deafness is the reason why Martin Short is yelling the whole time, which is achingly unfunny.

Definitely some good moments though. The Tobias tape recorder bit is classic.

Heh, the best thing I can say about Dragon is that I had already forgotten all about him, even though it hasn't been long since I last watched through the whole series.

True about the tape recorder bit. Always nice to end with a funny scene
