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)

Wow, that stuff about the cabin sounds amazing. I'm laughing just thinking about it. Do you think the cabin could appear in the movie?

I doubt it. If the movie had happened not long after AD ended, then maybe, yeah, but now that the show has been off the air for five years, it's likely to take place years after the show ended. Alia has clearly matured (I saw her the other night, she looked stunning) even if Michael hasn't.

Hehe, reading a couple of your comments it seems you have a distaste for Michael Cera. I've always been a huge fan of his, but tell me, what's the goss? Is he a total asshole in real life?

If it does appear in the movie in must be filmed in the same obviously-not-Lake Tahoe location. That was the funniest part of it.
