* I can't say it ''radically'' changed my opinion of the show, because I already thought it was brilliant, but I became even more amazed at ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' when I bought the DVD to re-watch it, with the very first episode. One of the plotlines in the ''third season'' is whether Lindsay was adopted, which would mean that George Michael and Maeby were not biological cousins, and free to pursue a romantic relationship. When this first aired on broadcast TV, naturally I had ceased to give too much thought to the names of the characters who had been around since the start of the show. Only upon re-watching on DVD did I realize they had been setting this up from the ''very first episode'', when the narrator referred to "George Michael's cousin, Maeby" ("George Michael's cousin, maybe.") -- [[Tropers/Devils Advocate|Devils Advocate]]
** Something that started out as [[Fridge Logic]] was: how the hell did George Senior manage to get upgraded to house arrest after his numerous escapes/escape attempts? What judge in their right mind would let him out of jail? Then later, I remembered the setting for the show: Southern California. The same place that sentenced Lindsay Lohan, Khloe Kardashian, Paris Hilton, etc. Special treatment capital of the world. While still infuriating, it IS [[Truth in Television]].
** GOB is of course, short for George Oscar Bluth, a bizarre combination of nickname and monogram. Where could they have come up with this? Possibly from John Ellis Bush, better known to us as Jeb (once you see the parallels between the Bluths and the Bushes, you cannot unsee them). - Tropers/Wookie72
