Talk:List of Arrested Development episodes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • Its listed as "For British Eyes Only" on the DVDs. I think those are an accurate source.
  • I'm going to change S03E02 from "For British Eyes Only" to "The British Bombshell" in 3 days unless anyone can cite a source better than [fox.com/arresteddev] for the the name being the former and not the latter. Pattersonc 22:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thumbnails

It would be cool to add a small thumbnail image next to every episode... similar to how it is done on this list of Star Trek: The Next generation's episode list. I have all the dvds, perhaps i could help do this. Screenshots could be taken from the DVDs, perhaps an image that is unique to each episode and that someone who has seen the episode would recognize it by. Would be a cool idea i think.

[edit] Article Clean-up

Lots of bad links on this page. I'll attempt to clean up the page starting from Season 1. --naz 14:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Season 1 & 3 links converted, and will work on season 2 when I can be sure I can move articles such as The One Where Michael Leaves episode safely. Created a template in the Top Banana episode, for other episodes to use. --naz 15:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
It's precautionary against any possible future title clashes, and it makes the pages uniform. I think there's no harm in that. Please let me revert back to what I've edited. A great example of an episode list can be found at List of Stargate SG-1 episodes--naz 15:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Again, please don't. zellin t / c 15:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Naming...

I think all episode titles should be shortened from (Arrested Development episode) to just (Arrested Development); no need for "epsidoe". The whole idea of such precise dabbed links seems to have gone on the wayside - we see Persephone (The Matrix) instead of Persephone (Matrix character), and so forth. - Hbdragon88 23:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

The list of links for season two is missing Episode 217, "Sword of Destiny," though the page does exist.

I agree. I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that though. DrIdiot 02:57, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ambiguities

Disambiguation is needed in the following articles:

--Mathew5000 12:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

I took care of Let 'Em Eat Cake, Whistler's Mother, and Not Without My Daughter. If there are any more I'd be happy to take care of them. The other 3 you listed don't actually have episode pages yet, so there's no point in linking to them. DrIdiot 02:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Took care of Top Banana. I won't do anything about In God We Trust ebcause there's a disambiguation page and the AD episode is less notable than a lot of the others on there. Took care of Public Relations, Sad Sack. THat seems like it to me, excluding episodes without pages. DrIdiot 02:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FOX as a source

Most the episode pages have FOX as a source. I wrote one (Whistler's Mother) and didn't use FOX at all. In fact they don't have anything about AD on their website anymore, and when they did I'm sure the information wasn't crucial (the OP is much more comprehensive), so is it safe to remove it from the sources list (especially since it's a useless link now)?

[edit] Episode Order

I notice that the episodes are listed here by date aired, which in many cases differs from the "canonical" order listed on the DVDs. Shouldn't they be reordered here to match the DVD order? If not, then surely the episode numbers in the "#" column should be changed so that we have some indication of what the preferred order is. adavidw 09:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and took care of it, along with other minor fixes in the season 1 list. adavidw 07:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I was under the impression that the airdate was the same as the order on the DVDs. But looking at my DVDs, I can see that's not the case. Please feel free to change them back to suit the canonical order of the DVDs. However, I'd rather you left the color scheme the way it is. The black, red, and blue theme looks much sharper than the dull purple-ish. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Evan Reyes 20:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I changed it back to the DVD order, and I'm 99% sure all the other changes from this week are still intact. I left the cell colors for season 1 as the black. However, I think the black makes it unreadable, and a lighter color would prevent eyestrain and please the eye better. I am prepared to fight to the death on this, but I won't, because I've just been distracted by something shiny. Still, it would be nice if someone looked at making the colors more readable sometime in the future. adavidw 04:48, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Arent't IMDB and epguides.com enough of a source (besides the DVD sets themselves) for the episodes?RoyBatty42 19:06, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries

For anyone with someone looking for something to do, this episode list needs a short summary for each episode. Cburnett 06:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I've been filling the Season 2 and 3 summaries in slowly, although some are more complete (and better written) than others. Kweeket 19:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] G.O.B.

G.O.B.'s name is spelled "G.O.B.," not "GOB" or "Gob." There are a lot of instances of the former two, not only on this page, but on many other Arrested Development pages, as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.95.213.206 (talk) 04:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a source for that spelling? It seems to me like the character's name is a clear parody of Jeb Bush's, and thus should be spelled "Gob". dclayh (talk) 04:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

It's clearly stated in one of the early episodes that G.O.B. (the correct spelling) is an abbreviation for George Oscar Bluth.74.12.123.152 (talk) 06:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
