Previously on Arrested Development?


What was the explanation behind the jarring time jump/ rushed storyline between Season 2 Episode 1 and 2? They even filmed scenes for episode 2 that weren't featured in the previous episode? George Sr just suddenly gets captured and under house arrest? It's really bizarre.

Lust to succeed.

Do you mean Season 3? The Cabin Show? My only complaint about the first three seasons. It makes less than "suspend my disbelief" sense. George Sr has been on the run for a year, they capture him and give him house arrest? I know it's a television show and a means to give us better storylines, or not repeat the prison stuff, but Warden Gentles would not stand for that. High def, color security cameras or not.

Didn't he get a lighter sentence (or rather, was allowed House Arrest) in exchange for working with the Government? Or was it somehow tied to Oscar (dot com!) in that the Warden did not notice that he incarcerated the wrong man for so long?

Also let's not forget that little screenplay that the Warden was trying to get through that just "maybe" he did!

The Previously On and a continuation of the "Next on Arrested Development" jokes. As in the scenes never happened but are entered in as cannon.
