Honestly one of my favorite parts of arrested development—and something I wished we had more of—is the relationship between Maeby and Gob.
See the thing is, they’re so similar! They have their schemes, theyre liars, arguably the most chaotic members of the Bluth family, and they’re also often the forgotten/overlooked child. (Also some flavor of gay- bi maeby truther)
But it’s more than that! My favorite part of the last two seasons is obviously the Blunder but what I also loved is how the narrative was now widened and following the different members of the family.
We got to see what Gob gets up to when he’s away from his family, when in the previous seasons it wasn’t always clear/the family didn’t know and didn’t want to know
And sometimes I really wish we had some of that in the earlier seasons if only so I could see all the Maeby and Gob interactions that go on unnoticed. I mean. Gob knows about Maeby’s job making movies. ("uncle gob?" *gob pauses in trying to throw a sick cat overboard/hiding from said cat* "maeby?") And, he voiced (or rather Will Arnett did) the voice over for a Gangie movie.
During the inner beauty contest/pageant Gob is the one who recognizes Maeby and asks her who her favorite family member is (a friend of mine theorized that question was asked without him knowing it was Maeby and he’s just a dumbass like that, which I agree he would be a dumbass like that but I have to believe he recognized her)
And idk, I just really love the dynamic they got going. They’re so similar and chaotic and I would have loved to see some uncle-niece shenanigans.
(That being said I also loved uncle-nephew shenanigans and I miss the George Michael and Gob interactions too. George Michael being awed by Gob’s magic was so sincere and beloved by me)

Sometimes a family is an embezzler who built houses for Saddam Hussein, an alcoholic who can't read medicine labels, a former golden child who never gets around to leaving the family, a phony activist who is actually four years older than everyone thinks and also her own aunt, a worm man with chronic anxiety and an oedipous complex, a gay magician who's straight but gay but no he isn't yes he is, a boy who's main personality trait is being horny for his cousin, a fifteen year old Hollywood producer, a failed lemon salesman, the gay magician's bastard exterminator son, a woman no one ever bothers to recognise, a boy adopted from Korea who swore revenge for how badly he was treated, another gay magician, a congresswoman who has hid her alopecia her entire life and will well into the next, and the other gay magician's bastard son
And also tobias is there sometimes

George Michael Bluth
A Quick Look at one of my favorite characters
Arrested development is basically like a series of unfortunate events if it were made into an adult comedy.
So the sadder parts are all left as jokes or punchlines.
When really, if it were a drama, the characters would appear completely different.
George Michael is a key example of this, he’s held to almost perfection standards by his dad, who he also would spend all his time with until he gets a girlfriend. Like his dad makes him go on atkins for literally no reason and he clearly hates it but is too scared to say anything.
Or when he gets an A- on a test (still an A though) and when he comes home and shows his dad and says “I got an A!” And his dad keeps cutting him off and saying “minus” before telling him to get back to his room and study. Later his dad walks in on him studying and literally beating himself up over not getting a problem, calling himself stupid over and over again.
Of course, this is the episode where Michael (his dad) and Lindsey (Michael’s twin) are arguing over parenting. She says he’s too strict and is going to give George Michael a nervous breakdown. Naturally, after walking in on George Michael beating himself up, he tells him to stop and go do something fun. George Michael is very reluctant because he never really does that. He ends up going right to work, because he doesn’t have anything else to do.
Naturally, during this short period of parental freedom, George Michaels uncle Buster (the one who still lives with his mother and is basically a toddler) comes to see him at work to ask him for drugs. Michael has always taught George Michael that “family first” is the most important rule, so of course he keeps it a secret at busters request and tries to get drugs for him. This leads to him going to his uncle Gob, leaving a note asking for drugs, leading to a whole mix up where Michael thinks that he gave George Michael too much freedom and has now caused his son to develop a drug habit.
Rising action, rising action, climax where everything comes to a head with fake cops and real cops and fake drugs and real drugs and weird misunderstandings until everything is laid out, all is forgiven, and things go back to normal
However, since this show is a comedy show, we don’t focus on the fact that George Michael never actually was able to utilize the freedom his dad had given him, instead opting to use his newly free time to take on a really big favor from his family member instead of doing something for himself
His gimmick is that he’s awkward, and comparatively uptight to Maeby’s street smarts and irresponsibility. It creates a fun dynamic for comedy stories, but when you watch it as many times as I have you start to see some of the more serious character traits that are glossed over
This back and forth can only continue if there is no real character development in each of the ensemble members, hence the end of an episode essentially hitting reset on shenanigans for everyone. George Michael is a great character for that because even during the one chance he had to be free or do something for himself, he yet again took on a task that someone in his family asked him to do and assumed he could do it. So when those opportunities of development present themselves, realistically he wouldn’t take them. And if he did, his character development would have to be so minute that it’s barely noticeable.
If this show were a drama, I think there would be considerable emphasis placed on the parallels of George Sr’s relationship with Michael and Michael’s relationship with George Michael. Animosity about the relationship between Michael and George Michael is only brought to Michael’s attention in season four when he is told that is the father-son relationship Ron Howard wanted to make a movie about.
