Summary

On this week's episode, the gang gets angry as they tear apart the 1996 give-hope-to-children-of-divorce comedy, House Arrest! Just how is that all these parents are dumb enough to fall for this? How has no one pointed out that our protagonist is a total psycho? And the Küb is most definitely getting the chair for this! PLUS: People were definitely having sex in that basement.

House Arrest stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Pollak, Kyle Howard, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Wallace Shawn, Christopher McDonald, Ray Walston and Mooky Arizona; directed by Harry Winer.
