Who's majorly let down by this season? I'm kinda speechless and laughless so far... Only 4 episodes in though...
Can't find the official let down by Arrested Development on netflix QBN thread... Tobias, save this season, yawn...

"Only 4 episodes in though"
There's your problem. Having watched it all the way through, the series got better with each episode. I was a bit put off by the first few episodes too, but I imagine if I go through and watch them again now, having watched the later ones, many more jokes will reveal themselves. (There are a lot of incidental things that happen in those early episodes that end up being foundations for jokes later.)

After going thru them,it hasn't missed a beat.
SPOILER ALERT
Some funny side things that cracked me up."Locker Hawkers", "ANUSTART". All the characters really are strong, although my favorites are Buster, Tobias, GOB, and George Michael, in that order. Also I like how they make Ron Howard into kind of a subtle Hollywood dick, who's also nice.

Im up to episode 14... it's gotten better but still not amazing.
That said, a lukewarm Arrested Development is still better than any of the 'modern family' type network comedy crap thats running right now.

I don't think I ever got Arrested Development, alot of humor based on uncomfortable situations (probably why The Office did so well in the states) and unrealistic stupidity - maybe that's the whole point.
I am the only one?

i've seen the whole thing through, and was mildly disappointed upon the end. however, a friend of mine said "well, the original series got better with re-watching, try it with this one."
apparently the 2nd and 3rd times through it gets better and better, which, after completing the whole series, makes sense.

Big fan of the original.
Not a fan of this season.I watched it all, and while there were better episodes later, they were still lacking. I saw the recurring gags, and they felt forced in a less elegant fashion than the original series.
Also I hate the new music.

SPOILER ALERT AGAIN
Wow, just watched the last episode. I really liked the ending, completely unexpected. It also didn't tie anything up and left a bazillion loose ends for season 5. Good stuff. I WANT MORE!

Showstealer Pro Trial Version
Arrested Development is all about the inside jokes. You have to watch closely.
- Is this an inside-joke? I assumed it was just the rip I got. Haha!orrinward2
- those were probably ripped by showstealer themselvessine
- It's on the flashback scenes from the previous seasons... like they didn't have permission to use the scenes.hellrod
