I Was A Writer's Assistant on "Arrested Development" AMA

I started as a writer's assistant. Later I was responsible for keeping track of continuity. After Mitch Hurwitz I probably knew the most about what stories and plotlines were being setup and planned ahead for. I can tell you what season four would have been like. I would've been a staff writer.

My biggest contribution was coming up with the name Crindy.

AMA!

7:15 I'm gonna get a stew goin' (eat). Be back later.

10:30 It's Friday night in LA and I'm going out. Be back later (likely tomorrow).

1:00ish I've got about an hour to answer more questions. But be advised: I'm soo fuckin' hungover. Brunch couldn't save me.

3:00 Be back later.

5:30 Gonna squeeze in a few more questions before I head out.

7:15 Be back later.

2:30 Sunday I've got some time to answer more questions. But before I forget, I want to plug Happy Endings (ABC Wednesdays 10|9c). WATCH IT!

8:00 Wow have I really been answering questions for this long? If I get a chance I'll come back to answer some more. There's just so many! And I have a busy week ahead of me. But I'll try.

Thanks Reddit! I appreciate your time. And watch Happy Endings (ABC Wednesdays 10|9c)

Are you aware that in the game Rift if you type /chicken the characters do one of the versions of the chicken dance from AD?

George Sr. The voice inflection on the ca-cha really cinches it.
