– This was last suggested at Talk:arrested development seven years ago that I can see, and I think it's past time to check again. Looking at the traffic report ([ [1]], it's abundantly clear that the show is the primary topic for the term. Hovering around 150 thousand views/month compared to under 20,000 for the other articles combined. Safrolic ( talk) 05:30, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
The general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for. In this specific case, disambiguating with just capital letters would not best serve that goal. Reader (and editor) interest in the TV show currently far outweighs interest in the psychological term; most people who search for "arrested development" will be looking for the TV show; most people do not bother with capitalization when doing internet searches. Therefore, in order to best serve our readers, a search for "arrested development" should default to the TV show. (As for the idea that the psychological term might ultimately have more long term significance, well, we're not setting this in stone! We can always shift the titles around again in the future if the need arises.) WanderingWanda (they/them) ( t/ c) 02:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
Very confused that Arrested Development, both old and Netflix Original series, no longer appears on Netflix. Even more confused that no news outlets seem to have picked up on this. Anyone know what's going on? U-Mos ( talk) 23:51, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Interesting - I'm in New Zealand and also checked the UK and US; it's absent in all of these regions. U-Mos ( talk) 06:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
The synopsis for season 3 incorrectly identifies Gob's yacht as "The C Word". The Boat's name is pictured in the episode and is called "The Seaward", which intentionally sounds like "The C Word" as innuendo in the following line delivered by Lucile Bluth who believes that the name is reffering to her.
