    • Trivia
      Neither David Cross's nor Jeffrey Tambor's characters were ever intended to be regular characters. It was not until the actors tested well that the writers ended up putting them regularly in the series.
    • Goofs
      During the time George Sr spends in the attic, storage boxes in the background are marked with either "Tracy" or "Tracey." These are boxes of old clothes belonging to Michael's late wife.
    • Quotes

      Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to...

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.

      Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.

      Tobias Fünke: It's out of context.

      Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks.

      Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.

      Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard.

      [chuckles]

    Hilarious, especially the earlier seasons!
    Arrested Development truly is one of the funniest tv shows ever created, especially the first three seasons! As most of the reviews have already said the quality dropped off for the last 2 seasons when it came back after taking a few years off.
