Season 5 News?
editThere[1] have[2] been[3] reports from Netflix execs about a potential season 5. Is this wiki-worthy?
Season Three Typo/Misspelling
editThe 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.

- I checked and I was wrong.
- The boat is called the Seaward until Gob renames it in the same episode. Rowan101010 (talk) 20:20, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- okay so there are two boats. (Seaward Season 2, C-word season 3) This topic suggestion can be deleted. Apologies if i can do that myself I cannot see how. Rowan101010 (talk) 20:27, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Seasons four and five, which premiered after this became a GA, are not meaningfully covered Thebiguglyalien (talk) 17:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delist. Fails criterion 5b "it addresses the main aspects of the topic". Not in the worst shape though; it could probably be kept as a GA with the right attention. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Is the only section you have a problem with seasons four and five? If so I could probably throw together a plot summary within the next few days. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's not just the plot summary. A lot of the article is frozen in time. Production is about the production of seasons 1-3 with one paragraph tacked on to the end just mentioning that seasons 4 and 5 exist. Characters and reception don't acknowledge that they exist at all. Right now the article looks like it was written in 2012 and then a few season 4/5 details were added on after the fact, which is exactly what happened. If I were reviewing the article at GAN, I would also take issue with the "controversies" section, giving undue coverage to certain events during production solely because they are controversies.

- OlifanofmrTennant do you intend to continue addressing the issues? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:41, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- I was planning to but my focus has shifted to my ongoing GA. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:10, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm my own Gramma??
editFYI, I've never seen any of this seires. But as the Article currently sits:
Michael's twin sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) is spoiled and materialistic, continually seeking the center of attention and leaping on various social causes for the sake of vanity. In the finale it is revealed that she and Lucille are sisters."
And just before that
His wife, and Michael's mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter), is ruthlessly manipulative...
So MC's Twin sister just happens to also be the sister of his (implied their) mother. Not even broken time travel will fix that!
I assume there a missing "she's not really his twin or sister" that isn't currently in the article. 38.68.84.4 (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I haven't seen the finale, but it does sound as though this text may need to be revised to indicate that Lindsay is only believed to be Michael's twin sister. DonIago (talk) 18:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
