Some good commentary at the end of this one. Would love to hear more of what you liked, what didn’t hit with you and maybe some speculation of what’s to come even though everyone who has seen this before will chuckle knowing how shocked you will be at how unhinged the show will become from here on.

Hey you guys put this in the wrong collection lol

I love the subtle jokes in this show so much. "A friend of Dorothy" used to be (might still be used) slang in the gay community as a code to identify each other. Also Liza Minnelli's mother was Judy Garland who played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Also I don't know if they ever actually mention this is in the show but G.O.B's name isn't Gob, its George Oscar Bluth, its just a subtle joke about Jeb Bush, because J.E.B is short for John Ellis Bush. Its extra silly because saying G.O.B Bluth or J.E.B Bush is like saying ATM Machine.

Also the actor who played the cop that was talking at the end was arrested for participating in the Capitol riot, just a fun fact

It's still a ways off, but when you get to Season 4 there are two different versions. The original Season 4 is 15 episodes long, but some people complained about the structure - some of the episodes are focused on one character - so a couple years later they re-edited the footage into a 22 episode season with a more conventional structure. I would definitely recommend watching the original 15 episode cut. Netflix has it "hidden" under the Trailers section of their ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT page.

edit: I'm an idiot and didnt read the full comment. I would suggest watching the remixed version though, but I would also suggest not watching season 4 and 5 at all. Season 5 is especially bad since one of the actors just decided not to show up on set at all.

I think my favorite part of these reactions is Maple's look of utter disbelief, somewhere between joy and horror.
