Starring Will Arnett?
[edit]Arnett has a cameo in the pilot, but I don't think he's been confirmed as a series regular. Clconway (talk) 15:32, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
American television series?
[edit]It's debatable whether this is should be categorized as an American series. The pilot was produced for British television and AFAICT it's an IFC/More4 co-production. Clconway (talk) 15:32, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Notability
[edit]How does a television series broadcast nationally in the U.S. and the U.K. with stars and creators who all merit their own articles not meet WP:NOTE? Clconway (talk) 14:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- Has it in fact been broadcast ? is it yet a series ? Codf1977 (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a series. Reliable source say it has been produced and will be aired (the pilot already aired in the U.K.). IFC and More4 are advertising its Oct 1 premiere. Wikipedia frequently has articles for shows that have not yet premiered (see, e.g., Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead, and Outsourced, none of which has yet aired and none of which has a WP:NOTE banner).

Tie to Running Wilde
[edit]It's interesting that two of the principal figures of this show – both famous for another show – will have another show on the air at the same time. Don't think it should be removed. Stick Fig (talk) 14:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- It might be interesting, but it's trivia and the presentation is not encyclopedic. Besides, Arnett has not been confirmed as a regular on this show (he only has a cameo in the pilot). Clconway (talk) 17:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- How is it trivia? It's relevant to mention that it's not the only project two of the principals are working on, as well as the fact that they're famous for working on something else together. And Arnett's listed a as a member of the cast, anyway. And let's face it, if it's just random trivia, why is it mentioned so prominently in the press materials? It's a key selling point and a reason people will be interested in the show. And regarding the non-encyclopedic presentation, there are a total of three paragraphs in the article. If the article was broken up into hundreds of sub-sections, I might see your point, but it's a stub right now. Stick Fig (talk) 17:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Running Wilde has nothing to do with this show, so I see no need to mention it. Especially as there is no reliable information available about how involved Arnett is in Todd Margaret or how involved Cross is in Running Wilde. As an attempt at compromise, I have left the reference to Arrested Development, which we can at least verify. Clconway (talk) 21:41, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Reception
[edit]This article needs a paragraph at least about critical/public reception. o0drogue0o 13:29, 15 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by O0drogue0o (talk • contribs)
Lying!
[edit]The synopsis really should comment on the central thesis of the series; Margaret's compulsive lying that builds on itself and grows rapidly out of control. I know it's in his character bio, but it ought to be part of the synopsis as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.23.183.231 (talk • contribs)
Rewrite
[edit]This whole article is in dire need of rewriting, any takers? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 02:51, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- I see that some plot summaries have been rewritten, here are some links, mainly to reviews: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Hearfourmewesique (talk) 01:18, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
Premise
[edit]It bothers me greatly that the premise on this wiki page has much more depth and continuity than the actual series does. 96.95.227.49 (talk) 10:28, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
