The show’s final four episodes air tonight between 8 and 10 p.m. on Fox. There’s still the possibility that another network will pick up this goofy gem, but, right now, it seems likely that these episodes will be the last time we see that crazy Bluth family in action.
On this sad occasion, I would like to take this moment not to detail some of the plot points of these sure-to-be-brilliant final episodes, but to celebrate “Arrested.� So, with apologies to Margaret Wise Brown and her book “Goodnight, Moon,� I give you, “Goodnight, Bluths.�
Goodnight, Bluths,
It’s time to go,
Although you sure were nice to know
From Michael, sane and so frustrated,
To Lucille, so inebriated
From George and his escapes from jail,
To Lindsay and her psyche so frail
Goodnight to G.O.B.,
And his delusions
That he could perform a good illusion
Goodnight to Buster,
And his one good hand,
With which he hangs onto mom’s apron strings as tight as he can
Goodnight, George Michael,
Goodnight, Maeby,
Goodnight, Maggie Lizer,
And her make-believe baby
Goodnight, Tobias,
I loved you well
And I loved your doppelganger, Dave Attell
Goodnight, Ron Howard,
It’s time go,
And make another movie with Russell Crowe
I will miss you on my telly,
I’ll even miss guest star Liza Minnelli
You gave us a laugh,
You gave us a jolt,
You made us cringe,
And yell out, "Steve Holt!"
Goodnight Bluths,
I’ll miss you so,
May you all bounce back,
On a higher-rated show
