So yeah, Arrested Development is back. There were
so many good moments in the previous three seasons, I just don’t know where to
start when it comes to highlighting quotes. I was always a big fan of Franklin,
so that’s why his quote leads this entry, and why I’m including a picture of
him on the entry too. If you want a 10-minute, 200 quote "Best Of," check out that YouTube video at the bottom of this entry.
I’m making
my way through the fourth season today, but I probably won’t write about it
until at least Tuesday, to give y’all a chance to watch it. Arrested Development is one of those
rare sitcoms where there actually are spoilers for the story that would ruin
things, like if you found out about Mr. F or the Godzilla-jetman fight early in
season three. There is also the excitement of wondering who is going to show up
in season four – Will we see Annyong? Barry Zuckercorn? Gene Parmesean, private
eye? Carl Weathers??? (It’s for this reason that I didn’t listen to Tony “Buster
Bluth” Hale on The Nerdist podcast yet.)
I’m
definitely curious to see how the fourth season is received both critically and
commercially. I fear that kind of like the new Daft Punk album, it can’t
possibly live up to all of the hype, but as long as it doesn’t completely suck,
that’s good. According to an interview
with a Netflix executive, a season five is possible, but it sounds like the
biggest impediment is the cast and creator’s schedule, not Netflix.
(Tangenting
off of this - Could you build a season around the “less popular” Arrested Development actors, or a
smaller ensemble? Tambor, Bateman and Michael Cera strike me as the busiest
actors, as the rest of them tend to be either character or supporting actors on
a variety of other shows. There is also the matter of the creators, as Mitchell
Hurwitz and others seem to have other projects in the pipeline.)
