"S.O.B.s" is the ninth episode of the third season of the American television satirical sitcom Arrested Development. It is the 49th overall episode of the series, and was written by co-executive producers Richard Day and Jim Vallely, and directed by Robert Berlinger. It originally aired on Fox on January 2, 2006, less than a month after Variety announced that the episode order for the season had been cut from 22 to 13.[1]
The series, narrated by Ron Howard, follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy, dysfunctional family, who made their money from property development. The Bluth family consists of Michael, his twin sister Lindsay, his older brother Gob, his younger brother Buster, their mother Lucille and father George Sr., as well as Michael's son George Michael, and Lindsay and her husband Tobias' daughter Maeby. In the episode, to get enough money to hire a new family lawyer, everyone has to pitch in to prepare for the upcoming company fundraiser, aptly named "Save Our Bluths".
