    I just finished watching all of the episodes from Seasons 1-3.

    Incredible. The two scenes that made me laugh the loudest were (1) Gob's disastrous magic trick at George's "funeral" and (2) the sequence where Lucille crashed into the Banana stand and Buster picks up Gob (wearing the banana suit) with the crane.

    Some of the scenes with Gob and Buster were incredibly funny. Will Arnett will always be Gob and Tony Hale will always be Buster to me. They were perfect in those roles.

    You could tell the show was losing some mojo in the 3rd season. Kind of sad. Sometime in the future I'll resume my Netflix subscription and watch season 4.

    I know I'm way behind but I just finished the season, had been very busy up till now. I thought it wasn't bad but definitely not on par with seasons 1-3. My favorite scene was the Gob and Michael fight at the kids playplace. Not a fan of reliving the story over and over again in each episode, would rather they just weaved them all together.

    The Maeby episode was one of the darkest, funniest sitcom episodes ever.

    After never giving this show any thought before, I finished watching all the episodes Netflix had to offer about a week or so ago. It was OK, a few LOL moments. But all in all, just OK. IMO

    Just finished the season. I thought it was actually really good, despite a few weak episodes. It started slowly, but the Gob-Tobias-Buster-Lucille episodes were all great IMO, and I also thought Maeby's was really good as well.

    Another season coming;

    Arrested Development could be making a second triumphant return.

    "We are in conversations with them to do another," the co-chairman of Imagine Entertainment told Bloomberg on Thursday. "They are interested in doing that."

    A representative for studio 20th Century Fox Television declined comment on the status of the negotiations but stressed that there are currently no deals in place with the cast or producers for a return.

    For Imagine and 20th TV, the process of reassembling its all-star cast was a difficult one, with each of the 15 "chapters" of the comedy focused on a different cast member. Each of the stars (including Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi and Michael Cera) was guaranteed at least one starring episode, with sources telling The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Arrested's May 26 bow that the cast had worked out a complicated deal to reprise their roles from the Fox series.

    A second season of Arrested would not be much of a surprise, given it has been a boon to Netflix with the comedy surpassing House of Cards as its biggest hit. Additionally, the series is generating awards-season buzz going into next week's Emmy nominations.

    Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has said that he wants more of the series from creator Mitchell Hurwitz. "We would love to do more, and we have a deal in place that says that there could be,” he told THR in a May cover story noting that the challenge would again be the logistics. "They're very in-demand movie and TV stars, and they’re all working full-time and doing this show in between. They did it for the love of the show and for Mitch Hurwitz. If we can muster up that love again, we’d love to do it again.”

    For its part, Netflix has renewed the bulk of its original scripted programming including Orange Is the New Black, which premiered this week.
