AD’s pilot is solid as a rock, with the show establishing and perfecting its style even before the opening credits
November 2 marks 20 years since we first met a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together. Arrested Development, once a short-lived series treated like high art and a political position, may have had its legacy dinged by a decade dead-set on revivals, but the show’s initial three seasons remain some of the best TV comedy ever. Revisiting the pilot episode, one can see how intricate and confident Arrested Development was from the beginning.
Finally, with all siblings accounted for, the narrator reveals that Michael will be leaving his family behind. All this happens in less than two and a half minutes. The clear and concise presentation, thanks in no small part to the narration and its unbeatable cast of past, present, and future comedy A-listers, establishes the show’s tone, style, and mechanics quickly while keeping the jokes flying and characterization consistent.
