Just how much is riding on the success of Netflix's Arrested Development? I'm not even talking about its legacy, I mean for television as a whole, mainly in terms of:

1) Reviving (not rebooting) long dormant properties

2) Whether comedy can adapt to bulk release, without weekly check-ins from viewers on which elements are working, and which aren't

3) Binge viewing as an accepted way of digesting storytelling. Does a cliffhanger matter if I've got the next episode available whenever I want it?

4) Will social media-based communal viewing completely disappear?

Based on PATV, it sounds like you're awesome at everything. Any exceptions?

Hey Jenny! I was at the Obvious Child screening in Toronto last night, and the crowd loved it (including the row of, like, 4 kids under 15 in front of me. We're pretty laissez faire about MPAA ratings up here).

Question: in the bathroom of the bar, I swear I saw someone tagged the wall with the words "Jenny rules." Just wondering if you guys did any work on that set to get the graffiti just right and somebody put in as a little wink to the audience, or if it was just a happy coincidence it said that?

It speaks the truth! You did indeed rule, as did the movie. Loved the comments before the show, I really hope people open up to what you and Gillian Robespierre have accomplished with this.

*PS: any of your friends who don't find your Arnold Schwarzenegger impression that you did on Comedy Bang! Bang! a few weeks back aren't real friends at all.
