George Michael Bluth is a shy conserved Bluth secretly in love with his cousin. He is overprotected by his father, but ultimately wants to live a normal life, even if it includes his non-normal family.

BiographyEdit

George Michael is the young teenage son of Michael Bluth and his late wife, Tracey. His name is a combination of his grandfather/uncle's name and father's names.

George Michael has demonstrated a willingness to work and to help his father in whatever capacity is necessary. In the past, this has included jokingly pretending to be a girl so Michael could take him to Bring Your Daughter to Work Day. He is "mister manager" of the Bluth Family's Original Frozen Banana Stand and has answered phones at company headquarters.

When he was reunited with his cousin Maeby, he instantly developed a crush on her, and his resulting emotional conflicts featured heavily into their subplot. George Michael was deeply traumatized when, as a child, he began to watch what he assumed was the popular family musical, The Wizard of Oz. Instead, it was the violent HBO prison drama, Oz. Consequently, George Michael is terrified of prisons. George Michael is continually exposed to awkward social situations throughout the show's run and seems to take each incident in stride. He witnessed a live birth close up, acted as a woman for G.O.B.'s magic act, was in the center of a hospital morgue, and had an inmate use the Bluth company stair car as an escape out of prison while he sat waiting for his father.

In the second season, George Michael started dating a girl named Ann who his father barely knows and doesn't like. His father sometimes calls Ann "Egg" by mistake as she was introduced to him while she was eating an egg. Ann eventually breaks up with George Michael after she participates in an inner-beauty pageant, telling George Michael she has outgrown him. Season Two ends with George Michael kissing Maeby much to his delight. After the incident, the two try to avoid each other for most of the third season. When they decide to put on fake weddings for Alzheimer's patients, they are mistakenly legally wed by a priest who was not aware that the weddings were fake. Drunk on fake wine one night, George Michael tells her (correctly, despite later "proof" to the contrary) that he thinks they might not actually be related. He reaches second base with her as a result. Although he rarely stands up for himself throughout the seasons, either as a result of Maeby's incapacity to see his affection for her, or his search for his father's constant approval, he finally 'becomes a man' in the final episode. After discovering his Uncle G.O.B. and ex-girlfriend Ann are together (but have done 'Practically nothing'), punches G.O.B. out. During the series finale, George Michael finally manages to tell his father about his crush on Maeby. Michael advises him to end it, as despite the fact that they are not blood relatives, they are still family.

  • I was just watching the final episode, and noticed something weird. Michael tells George Michael not to go for Maeby, since he is only 15. But somehow, Ann is claiming to be 18, which is why she thinks it's okay to be with G.O.B. Aren't they supposed to be the same age? Also, Michael says it has been three years since the events at the beginning of the series. So, was George Michael supposed to be 12 when the series started?

    • I'll have to watch that episode again, but I think George Michael is 15 when the show starts. He is in high school for all three years of the show, and being 18 would make him and Ann seniors in Season Three.
