Who is watching Arrested Development?

[eav2c]

We're on episode 7 of season 4. I'm not loving it but I hear it gets a hell of a lot better. The Tobias episode was good. I really hate not seeing the whole cast together but I guess money and time can be a killer, lol.

I heard there could maybe possibly be a season 5 if this season is a hit??? I'm not sure on the truth though.

We watched the first episode and part of the second. I was kind of bored with episode 2 but DH was asleep and I wasn't paying attention. I can't watch shows like that or 30 Rock where the dialogue and comedy is so quick when I'm tired.

I love that GM is attending the University in our city because I tell H that is where she will go. The local references are authentic. But WTH did they do to Maybe's hair???

I wish I was! I keep forgetting to call Netflix and renew our membership. I'm a slacker. But I've heard mixed reviews about this new season. I hope it gets better!

We watched the first two last night. By the time the second episode was over, I was ready for a break and didn't want to watch the third.

[eav2c]

Maybe's hair makes me sad and I'm also bummed that GM has been on for like one episode. We're on the Gob episode now and it feels a little more old school AD to me. I have read quite a few reviews that it really does get better so here's to hoping.

I just feel like I don't KNOW the characters because of how filming was done with only a few per main cast members each episode. I need the entire cast for each episode to feel connected to it, lol. I'm lame but I really like the whole cast together.

We have plans to watch it pretty slowly but we will finish the season out of principle even if it is just meh.

I also only watched the first two. I will watch the others but needed a break to squelch my disappointment.

The first two episodes were definitely awful but they are getting better. Things are starting to tie together and make sense.

It seems to be agreed upon then that episode two was a speed bump. Oh! But I was happy and  surprised to see Chloe from 24 in that episode.

We are watching it and we love it! It's a little different but still hilarious. We're on episode 9 I think...

We are watching! It was definitely different for the first couple, but I think the Gob episode is the turning point to goodness. I spent the first several episodes yelling "Why are they hiding Gob?" Now I just sing "Getaway, getaway..." and smile.

I agree.

Have you seen episode 9?

"This is the first time I've blue(d) myself in 5 years!" I'm still laughing, lol

I honestly feel like I could have done without the Lindsay episodes I liked her before but I just feel like she doesn't do well as like the main person.

I loved Episode 8, but I can see what you mean. Lindsey is my second fave (after Gob), so she always cracks me up.

I have a feeling these will all be so much funnier if we watch them again after finishing the whole season.

We've only seen the first 3 episodes and haven't really been impressed. It makes me sad.

And WTF did Portia de rossi do to herself? It doesn't even look like her. I saw her in the credits but then when I saw her onscreen, I thought it was a different person playing her.

[musiclover]

DH and I feel meh about it, that makes me sad. I've seen episode 1&3, I have not been overly impressed, plus Portia looks soooo odd.
