Unfinished sentence

The final sentence in the article seems unfinished:

"Also, this would make their characters only 15 years old in this episode, despite the fact that it has been said numberous"

I don't know what the ending is supposed to be.

This is a really minor point, but was GOB (when pretending to be "Frank") actually calling himself Frank Stable? I heard "You steal from Frank's stable..."

Nellie...

Would it be fair to call the character Nellie a reference to Ally McBeal, as Portia di Rossi's character on the show was named Nelle? youngamerican (talk) 19:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They have a lot of inside jokes like that, especially in reference to Happy Days, I feel like. I think the Nellie name was chosen in reference to a few things 129.133.206.180 (talk) 03:49, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

N. Bluth

Very early on in the episoe (right after the Mister F theme music), Michael says "yea but that was retar...misguided. This is N. Bluth!" and another soundbyte plays. what is it? what does it reference? it should be included in the background jokes section.216.165.39.145 00:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Goof?

Is it really fair to say that Nellie not being surprised by the idea that Michael might be her brother is a goof? I mean, we know nothing of her history (i.e. was she adopted? did she know her father? was the man that she called "father" her real father?) It would turn most people's world's upside down to find out that they had a sibling that they didn't know about, but to assume that her disdain is a goof (especially, being a prostitute, one would think that she had a lot of experience with men having children that they didn't know about), seems a little strange.

Marriage Certificate as a goof?

I don't think we should consider anything regarding the Marriage Certificate as an unintentional goof. After all, the State Seal of California is a picture of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't think they were going for accuracy in the minutiae. Valley2city 08:08, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Arrested Development - Family Ties.jpg

Image:Arrested Development - Family Ties.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Why does michael

have to go through a few numbers to reach "Frank"? Is he not sure of the phone number, because you can see the whole number earlier right? Or is this some kind of joke? 129.133.206.180 (talk) 03:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The actress who plays Nellie?

Does anyone know the name of the actress who plays Nellie in this episode?

That may be considered by some relevant information to include. WalterGR (talk | contributions) 13:36, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
