Henry Winkler made the rounds plugging next month's "Happy Days" 30th reunion on ABC at Wisteria Lane. Winkler is loving his time on Fox's "Arrested Development," he said, and has an upcoming scene that should prove memorable: His character, the sexually confused lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn, stands on a dock and, to make his exit, jumps over the body of a dead shark on the ground. "I'm the only person in television history to have jumped the shark twice!" Winkler said, beaming.

(The expression "jump the shark," signifying the moment a series veers into decline, was coined after Winkler's character Fonzie water-skied over a shark, the moment marking the creative demise of "Happy Days.")

That's goes to show you how sharp and witty the writers are on Arrested Development. That should be good.

wow, great episode.

Loved the Tobias scene with all the license plates (I almost cried when I saw "Dr. House").... also GOB's wife saying "you misunderestimated me".... and Lucille and Buster as Peter Pan and Captain Hook.... Barry jumping the shark.... GOB almost getting away with sleeping with his wife.... the shameless Burger King promotion.... the return of Carl Weathers.... and Lucille's back all scarred from Buster's claw.

HILARIOUS.
