Line 4:
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: At the news of ten new episodes being released in preparation for [[The Movie]].
* [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: The show actually got a decent amount of support from the network, considering it lasted 3 years despite being rather expensive to produce. Some have theorized that FOX simply did not know how to effectively advertise the show, Emmy winning or not. It is basically about a family of egotistical yuppies where [[Only Sane Man|only one is sympathetic]], Michael, and the [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist|rest are not]]. This was pointed out in the third season by Michael "Maybe we aren't as likeable as we think we are."
* [[Better on DVD]]: orOr on [http://www.hulu.com/arrested-development Hulu], as it were (and remember to pause whenever a newspaper or other text piece appears on screen -- there are always a couple of extra jokes thrown in).
** Watching the episodes in quick succession instead of an episode per week makes the countless [[Running Gag|running gags]] and [[Brick Joke|brick jokes]] funnier because the set-ups are fresh in the viewer's mind. The show is also made even more hilarious when you watch the first season and catch all the [[Foreshadowing]] of things you now know are to come.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: David Schwartz's score for the show is almost as riddled with running jokes and clever allusions as the show itself.
