# Talk:Pilot (Arrested Development)

As of today (Aug 2011) I thought the level of detail was exactly right. Pilots tend to be crammed with backstory and this gave me exactly what I needed to understand what was going on in the show, which I had started watching a few episodes into Season 1.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.67.219.180 (talk) 03:37, 1 September 2011 (UTC) 
Can someone re-write the synopsis. It reads like the narrator in the episode, and has many lines just lifted out of it, which sound out of place in Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.153.122.68 (talk • contribs) .

I edited the synopsis so that big chunks are no longer lifted straight from the narrator Kweeket 20:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
The foreshadowing part about ice the bounty hunter sounds like a bit of a stretch. Anyone have a source to prove that this was intended and not a mere speculation/assumption? ArtimusClydeFrog

In contrast to the other articles about the series' episodes there isn't an section about Background Jokes. 
I noticed two: 
When Buster is shown during National Americans/ Tribal Ceremonies an Indian is talking on his cell phone in the background. 
Secondly, in the extended pilot Gob makes a twenty dollar bill from George Michael disappear and produces instead an Monopoly game, 
saying: You don't have it, do you?, and George Michael answering: "I think I might". 
Later in that episode George Michael is packing his things up in the attic and among them are several monopoly boards, 
meaning that Gob did this. magic trick several times. If nobody is going to object, I will incorporate this into the article.  Merkwürdigeliebe (talk) 16:06, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


### Pilot (Arrested Development)
I've listed this article for peer review because it is a recently listed GA and I plan on submitting it for FA status. It currently could use some work in its production section, themes section, and potentially the reception section. My main concern is that the article may be difficult to follow due to its structuring (particularly in Production). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Crystal Drawers (talk) 20:54, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

As the one who reviewed the GA, I think the article needs more secondary sources to meet FA criteria. I wish you the best of luck for it though! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 04:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
Thank you :)
@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Is there any section in particular you feel could benefit from more secondary sources (Production, themes, etc)? I just went back a little bit ago and added some secondary sources to the production section in order to cut down on how many primary sources it uses. I’ve counted and there are 6 sentences in Production where I could not find another source and had to use a primary source, and one in themes (all coming from the DVD bonus features).

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: pinging again just in case you haven't seen my recent comment. I've actually gone back and removed all DVD sources, so I think the article is free from primary sources as of now. Are there any other issues or concerns you can see with the article? —Crystal Drawers (talk) 16:21, 29 May 2025 (UTC)


#### FAC PR sidebar
I have added this article to the FAC PR review sidebar. Please consider reviewing other articles listed there and remove this entry when this is closed. I also highly recommend seeking help from a FA mentor as they can provide help and reviews on what needs to be improved upon. Lastly, I recommend that you continue reviewing articles at WP:FAC now: this helps editors learn the FA criteria and builds goodwill amongst FAC reviewers, making your article more likely to be reviewed when nominated.

#### Query from Z1720
@Crystal Drawers: It has been over a month since the last comment on this PR. Is this ready to be closed and nominated at WP:FAC? Z1720 (talk) 04:40, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

i’ve had a few other issues with the article brought up to me in other places and i don’t think the article is FAC ready yet, so i think closing it and leaving the article be would be the best option Crystal Drawers (talk) 11:15, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
@Crystal Drawers: Instructions on how to close a PR are at WP:PRG. I recommend the script. Z1720 (talk) 14:44, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
