This episode shows just how stupid Gob is, though most episodes do anyway, him thinking that Michael had fled the country to Mexico upon which many things occur involving private investigators, George Michael's girlfriend being left behind and Lindsay pretending to know where her father was.
There are many funny moments in this episode and it is strange that with four family members, a girlfriend and a P.I. nobody found out that George Sr was dead but it is sure to be discovered sometime.
Buster believing he was in Mexico without his glasses was a great B story but couldn't compare with the actual Mexico plot which is quite entertaining.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- The poster that drops off the wall and Gob says to "just leave it" carries the slogan 'never give up'. Edit
- Buster comments that he used to have a shirt just like the one the child is wearing, and the narrator said that it was Buster's. In fact, Buster wore that shirt in the episode "Staff Infection". Edit
- During the silent film, one of the Mexicans said "Usted baila como un hombre que vive como mujer" and it was translated with subtitles as "You dance like a homosexual", but the correct translation would be "You dance like a man who lives like a woman". Edit

Notes
ADD NOTES- Judy Greer (Kitty") received the "and" credit, and she had no lines. Edit
- The Mexicans in the 1927 silent movie are Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Tony Hale dressed up as Mexicans. Tony is playing the piano. Will is doing the chicken dance. Jason is insulting Will for doing his chicken dance. Edit
