'''''{{w|Arrested Development}}''''' is a sitcom following the dysfunctional formerly-wealthy Bluth family. Edited in a documentary-influenced style, with writing that combined satire, running gags, interwoven storylines, a large cast of characters, and absurdist humor, the show was highly acclaimed and influential despite generally low viewership.<br />
<br />
[[Matt Chapman]] praised the humor and originality of the show in [[Giant Magazine Interview#Interview with Matt Chapman|a 2005 interview with ''Giant'' magazine]].<br />

== Appearances ==<br />
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] {{--}} The August 17, 2005 tagline was "We're just blowing through naptime", a line spoken by the childlike Buster Bluth in the episode {{w|Arrested Development (season 1)|"Bringing Up Buster"}}.<br />
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] {{--}} [[Bubs]]' line "Baby, you got a [[witch's brew]] goin'!" refers to "Baby, you've got a stew going!", a quote from Carl Weathers. The actor portrayed a fictionalized version of himself on ''Arrested Development'', where he behaved as an extreme cheapskate {{-}} including saving leftovers from a party to make into a stew later. Bubs [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig Costumes|dressed as Apollo Creed]], one of Weathers' most famous roles, from the ''{{w|Rocky (franchise)|Rocky}}'' series.<br />
*[[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] ([[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag#Commentary Transcript|DVD Commentary]]) {{--}} [[Ryan Sterritt]] and Matt quote lines from the juice-obsessed Buster in response to the drinks [[Homestar Runner]] gets from Bubs.<br />
*Email [[magic trick]] ([[magic trick#Commentary Transcript|DVD Commentary]]) {{--}} [[Strong Bad]]'s magic is compared to that of Gob Bluth, a poorly-skilled magician who uses over-the-top theatrics and expensive props in ill-fated attempts to pull off impressive "illusions".<br />
*[[Cheat Commandos: Two Part Episode: Part 1]] {{--}} [[Reynold's Brother]] is "Mr. Manager" at [[Jaded Teen Pizza]], referencing a gag where a newly-promoted George Michael is confused if he should be called "Mr. Manager" or just "manager" of the family banana stand.<br />
*[[I Killed Pom Pom]] {{--}} Homestar [[I Killed Pom Pom Costumes|dresses up as]] Tobias Fünke. His costume includes the cutoff jeans Tobias uses to manage his "never-nude" condition. The blue body paint was worn by Tobias during his stint as an understudy for the {{w|Blue Man Group}}; Homestar leaves a blue handprint similar to the ones Tobias would leave around the family home, despite [[Lack of Visible Arms|his lack of hands]].<br />
*[[Mario Paint Thursdays Compilation#Ooh Lips|Mario Paint Thursdays]] {{--}} A page of "Stew Homework" asks "When is it appropriate to use the phrase, 'Baby, you got a stew going?'"<br />
