Arrested Development

The Mr F stuff was a pay-off. It took time to establish her as a mysterious character and then when revealed take a closer look at her previous actions and encounters in a new lens. It's quite similar to the humor of the disjointed season 4 actually.

That story line gave us this...

Arrested Development Season 5 Shoots This Summer, Jason Bateman Will Return

"Look very probable I'm going to put some miles on the Stair Car this summer. Just officially signed on to more ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT today."

What? Season 4 was incredible. I have no doubt in Grazer and Hurwitz's ability to crank out more quality seasons as long as the core cast sign on.

Season 4 was good, but not quite as good as season 2 or 1. Maybe as good as season 3. I didn't like the non-chronological shit they did. I appreciate it, it was a neat idea, but I didn't need it. There were like 2 episodes or so of Season 4 that seemed super mediocre. I think the Michael episodes themselves were super weak.

That said, the Tobias To Catch a Predator thing was amazing all around. "Come help daddy get his rocks off!" and the fact they eventually get him outside by saying "there's a raccoon outside" "BULLSHIT!" *proceeds to go outside to see a raccoon and gets tackled*.

Season 4 suffered massively from not having the whole cast available at the same time. If they do that again for season 5 then it will not be good.

If they do actually have the whole cast then I wouldn't use season 4 as an indicator of season 5

This was, by far, my favorite tv show when it was on.

I will watch but I'm not as excited as I should be.

You guys are crazy or just don't know good comedy.



"I didn’t notice you there. I thought you were hair."

I figured they had done season 4 that way because of issues getting all the cast together. I feel like it was kind of a failure and really took away from the show.

I'm hopeful that the recut makes the story a bit more coherent.

Yeah, I am ready for Anustart to season 4.
