**He didn't; he named GOB after himself. His name is George Oscar Bluth, his brother's name is Oscar George Bluth, and GOB's name is George Oscar Bluth the 2nd (though it should actually be Jr).

[[folder:Why did George name his son after a brother he hated]]
*It made sense at the beginning of the show that George used the middle name of his brother for GOB but in later seasons, it's revealed that George has a deep-seated hatred of his brother. Even when he's seeing his prostitute, he spends his time talking about how he's jealous of his brother and everything.

** The only scene they actually shared was in that one episode, and even then they didn't interact, naturally for the time his role in the scene was based around the KissingCousins plotline, even if he did meet her that day, well I for one can barely remember my school teachers, he can be forgiven for forgetting a one off meeting. It's also possible he didn't actually meet her, just noticed her acrosss the room and asked someone who said Buster was her Nurse.

**** They did. There was a whole episode dedicated to it. In S1 E11, "[[Recap/ArrestedDevelopmentS1E11PublicRelations Public Relations]]," the publicist Jessie encourages Tobias get his medical license back, and Michael even covers the entire trip so that Tobias essentially has no reason not to go. He meets Carl Weathers on the shuttle to the airport, and decides to use all of his money to pay for an acting lesson instead of going to the hearing. Even when his entire path to success was completely laid out, with nothing standing in his way, Tobias still managed to mess it up due to his inability to grow up. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Which is the entire point of the show.]]

** Michael realizes that Oscar is in prison and not his father in the first episode of Season 3, and gets it rectified by having the courts place him under house arrest at the end of the episode. Suffice it to say that this likely means Oscar was freed, even though it isn't explicitly mentioned.
Added DiffLines:
** Whether or not they could convince him is moot. The show is, ultimately, about people who ''can't'' grow up or move on, so asking if Tobias "could have been convinced" kind of goes against the whole point. As for the second part of the question, all doctors need to go to medical school so that they have at least a basic grasp of all sorts of medical knowledge. Tobias, as a psychiatrist, would have been prescribing his patients different prescription drugs, and thus would need to understand their effect on the body and how they would affect his patients in particular, so losing his medical license would mean he couldn't have continued his other practice to begin with. Also, it's likely there's a bit of a mix-up with the terms "psychiatrist" and "therapist" in the show, as they are similar but not quite the same.

[[folder:Tobias's medical license]]
* So we know he lost his license as a medical doctor, couldn't his family convince him to continue being an analyst and therapist (aka analrapist) were he not obessesed with acting? On top of that, how common is it for a medical doctor to also be a psychiatrist?

** Gob once said, when talking about Ann that those religious girls once they're pregnant they stay pregnant then says he once dated a girl like that. Then *Pause* "No I didn't". Seemed like he did know she was pregnant and wanted her to have an abortion, but she didn't. Then he kinda blocked it out, but kinda remembered and denied it. Likely due to the forget me now pills.

** I had four cousins in the same grade as me -- 2 boys on the paternal side, and 2 girls on the maternal side. Both of the boys asked me to hook them up with their female counterparts. Granted, they knew they weren't related in any way, but I can easily imagine a dumb high school kid skipping that step in romance evaluation.

To have the track made, with the stairs and company logo may have cost a bit, perhaps they didn't want to lose money on their investment. Besides, Michael is eventually hoping to restore the company to its former glory. If he succeeds, the stair car can once again be an asset to the Bluth's company operation, rather than having to commission a new one.

* The staircar, or namely its' continued existence as such. At mid-decade prices the body would fetch at least $300 ''as scrap metal'', enough to cover the cost of replacing it with a used pickup box. Surely there'd be a scrapyard somewhere in [=SoCal=] that would make the swap? Once converted to a pickup, the resulting truck would not only be more useable (Cargo space! [[CaptainObvious Lots of it!]] No more hop-ons!) but also more saleable. You can even see a Bluth driving a pickup truck in "Public Relations".

*** This makes sense in theory, but in one of Maeby's many high school yearbook photos in Season 4, she's apparently "Born and raised in Big Britain" (calling herself "Maeby [[CallBack Featherbottom]]"), and has the graduation quote, "I love you Americans. You're all such wonderful pussies!" Which seems to imply that "pussy" is established British slang in the ''AD'' universe.

** What's more likely is that people outside the family already knew about GOB and that he was an only child at the time, whereas Michael was a newborn and it was easier to fabricate the "twins" lie with him. Of course, that still doesn't explain why people didn't notice the toddler being passed off as a newborn's twin...
