Has anyone else watched season 4 of Arrested Development (its has an AMAZING theater related cameo)

anyone else watched through season 4 of Arrested Development yet? Lets just say we get to meet more of Lucille 2's family

SPOLIER AHEAD!









Um how brilliant is it that Tommy Tune is playing her brother!

The new season is god-awful. I just felt sad watching these people's lives fall apart. It reminded me of a Judd Apatow movie: the first three seasons were hilarious, but everything turns sour. Seeing these previously one-dimensional stupid caricatures become fleshed-out characters was a major shock that flat out didn't work.

I honestly believe they prioritized shoehorning a million guest stars in before trying to make the show funny, or even like it was.

Hurwitz also said that the was Act One of a three act story. A possible 5th season and a movie will follow up to conclude these characters. I thought this season was genius, but it was missing the family dynamic since the actors schedules couldn't match up. But I think it was necessary for these characters to all be at the bottom, and hopefully they will rise back up in the future.

great references to Dreamgirls & The Magic Show in episode 11

I think this new season will get better with repeated viewings and you start finding all of the little hidden jokes and small things that really tie each episode together, much like the original series and all the foreshadowing and running jokes that you wouldn't have really noticed until you sat down with the DVDs and/or Netflix and watched them in marathon sessions.

I also loved some of the guest star casting. Kristen Wiig as young Lucille Bluth was wonderful and having Henry Winkler's son Max play the young Barry Zuckercorn was genius.

Portia's new face was a bit jarring at first, but then it highlighted a bit of irony when you consider all the talk of plastic surgery.
