It actually pains me to say this, but my ex-husband was actually the person to bring me into the Arrested Development fandom. He was as transfixed by the clever, self-referential writing as I would end up being, and after he had watched a few episodes on Netflix (the show had been cancelled well before then), I decided to join him. I think he’d actually watched the show back when it first aired? I can’t remember what he told me, but honestly, I’d like to forget as much about that man that I can.
Regardless, I fell in love with Arrested Development after watching only a single episode, which almost never happens. I mean, it took several of them for me to become obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But the Bluths just reeled me in from the second they were on the screen.
So thank you to the ex-husband, I guess?
