I'm not sure Martin Short has ever been funny. Dude is so damn annoying.

I heard that they were going to reveal that Tobias is black in the 3rd season but ran out of time. Really hope they revisit it

There were many strong hints suggesting that Tobias is black.

Lindsay: When people hear the name Tobias, they think of a big black guy.
Tobias: Well obviously I'm not a big guy.

What did he say about Ice the (black) bounty hunter that was after George Sr. when Lindsay was trying to hook up with him?

"Strange she picked someone so similair to her own husband" or something

Tobias is absolutely black. Just look at the cover of The Man Inside Me

Maeby: I think you just did.
Tobias: No, I didn't.

Thinking about it, it wouldn't be a double entendre without this black-guy thing.

Also, in the very first episode the narrator says "this is Michael's twin sister Lindsay, the self-proclaimed liberal member of the family. As a youthful act of defiance, Lindsay married this man." Like everything with Tobias it could be taken different ways, but it fits.

I wonder what time it will be available on the 26th. I kinda want to do a 5.5 hour marathon but at the same time it would be a shame to get it over with so quickly..

This is the show that keeps on giving, so I'm fine with a 5.5 hour marathon. It surely won't be the first.

My other fear is that Netflix will be completely laggy that day...

It will be odd to discuss the season in this thread with everything coming out at once, the one episode per week structure is ideal for that

does anyone know if the episodes are going to be ~20 minutes or 30 minutes? it's not like netflix has commercial breaks. i don't know anything about their other original series.

Speaking of which, what are the "rules" in this thread going to be? I know that House of Cards worked out okay with spoilers but this is freaking Arrested Development.

They're saying it falls in between those, but probably closer to 30.
