If last night's
Arrested Development fell just a little flat for you, as it did for me, it's probably because you don't watch
Prison Break (the show
AD keeps getting preempted for). The TelevisionWithoutPity forums provide a
primer.
1. The title (obviously)
2. The Jamba Juice line. In Prison Break, the main character, Michael Scofield, said, "We're not breaking out of a Jamba Juice, gentlemen."
3. Tobias calling himself T-Bag. On PB, T-Bag is a real sicko: an inbred murderer, rapist, and pedophile. He also found out about the break-out scheme, so he's forcing the rest of them to take him along.
4. GOB drawing the map of the prison on his stomach. On PB, Michael tattooed a detailed schematic of the prison's blueprints on his torso (however, they're hidden amongst another, superficial tattoo)
Also:
A couple other Prison Break references I noticed were in the play. People call Michael "Fish" and Sucre calls him "Cuz."
And the riot seemed like it was at least a shout-out.
