Looks great, but just in case it doesn't work out, there's always money in the banana stand.

This is going to be so cool.

Great to see that the unique "play on words" humor that the show uses so well is back in full force in this trailer:

"This car will get you a lot of stares."

"Oh, I'm used to driving a car with a lot of stairs."

*Cuts to stair car*

Ummmm....This is hard to admit but here I go. I'd never watched a single episode if this show until an hour ago. Don't know what season it was from or whatever...but it was hilarious and I'm ashamed of myself for missing this the first time around.
Are there only three seasons? This episode had Charlez Theron in it. I only got to see snippets of the episode but what I did see was great.

Quick, in 6 days, watch seasons 1-3 before the new season is out. And watch in order, it's best consecutively.

I am beyond a rational level of excitement for this shit. It will be a miracle if I don't blow off all other responsibilities for that day and watch them all right in a row.

Actually, the Charlize Thron story arc was the worst of the entire series.

As others have said, you need to watch it in order. They set up a lot of jokes that don't hit the payoff until a year later. There are also plenty of gags that are only funny due to the repetition over numerous episodes. That sort of stuff. Probably the biggest reason why it failed originally is because so many of the jokes don't work well spread out over that length of time. Where it worked is for the people who watch it six episodes at a time. That's also why it's so perfect for Netflix.

I watched the first episode of this show like a year ago. It was hysterical, but I never kept watching.... I've now been watching the marathon on IFC for the last 9 hours.... This show is amazing.

Would definitely not go that far. There is a huge change in tone and format.

Keep watching. After about 2 or 3 episodes, it really picks up the pace in many places. And things become a lot more clear in the story as well.

jammindude · « **Reply #17 on:** May 26, 2013, 07:04:13 PM »

Saw episode 1 before dinner...about to watch the rest tonight. I really enjoyed episode one. Not quite a peak episode, but it did get funnier in the second half.

ResultsMayVary · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2013, 08:19:11 PM »

Did you really expect the first episode to be hilarious when they try to get the backstory straight to bridge the gap between seasons 3 and 4?

jammindude · « **Reply #19 on:** May 26, 2013, 09:05:52 PM »

Four episodes in and I'm dying of laughter.

OMG!!! MST3K SCENE IN EPISODE 5!!!!

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #21 on:** May 26, 2013, 10:09:24 PM »

The first Gob episode is so fantastic. Oh gawd.

The first couple of episodes are kinda shaky though I did like the first episode a lot, the Micheal George Micheal dynamic is usually always good. After the second Micheal episode it really picks up though. I'm not sure if that's due to the writing getting better or if it's just how the level and number of intersections between the various storylines increases, but whatever, I'm enjoying it a lot. Some good laugh out loud moments in pretty much every episode.

The first Tobias episode had me in stitches. Holy fuckin' shit the duck scene.

Sigz · « **Reply #23 on:** May 26, 2013, 10:34:26 PM »

Oh yeah, the Tobias episode is god damned amazing.

TL · « **Reply #24 on:** May 27, 2013, 10:35:22 AM »

Yeah, it starts a little wobbly, but definitely builds as it goes, and finds its footing as the characters interact more and more later on. The strength of the show was always the interactions between the characters, and the main weakness of the first few is that the characters are all off on their own. Also, they have to spend some time setting up things that don't pay off until several episodes later.

It definitely just gets better and better as it goes.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #25 on:** May 27, 2013, 10:38:23 AM »

What I didn't like in the first episode was that they destroyed Michael. Sure, he used to be oblivious to George Michaels needs sometimes, but apart from that he was the only normal and level-headed character in the show. But in the first episode he acts like a complete retard.

Watched the first 6 episodes. It definitely got better after the first but it's still not up to par as the first seasons. It's just missing something... The episodes focusing on one character kinda make it lose a lot of the character interaction - which was the best part of the show.

Not saying it is bad, it is definitely entertaining, but I am still a tad disappointed.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 27, 2013, 11:48:59 AM »

What's worse about the first episode is the really awkward editing.

Michael was always barely keeping it together. The whole family is idiotic, that's the point.

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #28 on:** May 27, 2013, 01:00:21 PM »

I thought the point was that Michael was the only relatively normal one in a family of idiots.

Also, yea, the first episode has some weird shots. There is this scene where a lot of it is filmed from behind a glass screen, for which I don't completely see why.

lateralus88 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 27, 2013, 03:03:45 PM »

It's more than a couple of weird shots. The editing in between camera set ups and the placement of the music just felt super awkward. The pacing felt very off the entire time.

ResultsMayVary · « **Reply #30 on:** May 27, 2013, 03:28:16 PM »

It gets MUCH better as you watch more episodes. After 3 episodes in, I found why I love this show so much and each episode following that reinforced that belief. Not saying the first 3 episodes weren't good, but usually a TV show needs an episode or two to set up the season's story and character interaction, and Arrested Development is definitely one of those shows since the entire show is hilarious because of the character interaction, like other people have mentioned before.

I'm five episodes in. The Tobias episode was fucking amazing, as was the second Micheal episode.

"I just met a girl and her name was....shit." had me dying for like 5 minutes.

Just finished getting through the new episodes a little while ago. As a whole, definitely an uneven season, but it was great to have the show back. The strength of the show was the ensemble cast, so given the logistics of how the season had to be filmed, I think they did a pretty good job. In general I found myself a bit bored with everything to do with the wall and the sweatbox, but really enjoying everything else. I thought they did a good job of weaving a lot of prior guest stars/minor characters back into the new season without it feeling forced.
