Arrested Development returns this Sunday when the fourth season of the former Fox show will debut on Netflix. Considering that it's been nearly seven years since the series was on the air, some fans may have forgotten about the show's key episodes and funny moments. Luckily, we've put together a guide of the top five episodes you should revisit before you start streaming the new season. All of the show's episodes are currently on Netflix, so there are no excuses for missing out on these funny moments!
"Afternoon Delight" (season two, episode six)
Why it's a standout: This is an all-around great episode, but it is perhaps most notable because it gives birth to Gob's "Come on!" recurring joke. George Sr. leaves his collection of designer suits to Gob, who is acting as the president for the Bluth Company, and dressing up in luxury fabrics goes straight to Gob's head. He starts to mock his employees, telling one, "Oh, yeah. The guy in the $4,000 suit is holding the elevator for a guy who doesn't make that in three months. Come on!" And thus, a meme is born.
Other notable moments: Gob wears a banana suit for the company's second Christmas party, Michael and Maeby learn that they should read the lyrics to Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" before singing it at a company karaoke event, and Lucille inadvertently eats a pot brownie and runs over the banana stand.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux reunited in NYC over the weekend, and we have the inside scoop on what they were up to! Plus, we have a look at the latest episode of her new web series. Also, we're rounding up more of the day's headlines including Barbara Walters's retirement and the new Arrested Development trailer! On Allie: Monika Chiang blouse.
The final countdown is almost over! New episodes of Arrested Development arrive on May 26 on Netflix, but we've got your first taste of the new footage right here. The trailer for the fourth season already has me giggling at new developments, like seeing George Michael in college and Lindsay's new haircut, as well as the old standbys — like Kitty (Judy Greer) and the stair car. It wouldn't be Arrested Development without a ton of double entendres, and there's plenty of those in there, too. Bottom line: Memorial Day weekend can't come soon enough.

Beloved show Arrested Development has come roaring back into pop culture consciousness (did it ever really leave?) since Netflix announced it was reviving the canceled series. Come May 26, we'll get 15 new episodes, and Entertainment Weekly has the scoop. What will the new season be about? "It's the story of shame, cunning, thievery, dishonor, backstabbing, deceit, bold-faced lying, one-upmanship, psychological torture, lust, financial ruin, and magic, all supported by a very broad beam of dysfunctional love," says Will Arnett. Star Jason Bateman adds that the new episodes are "incredibly ambitious." We can't wait! If you can't either, click to see the rest of the family on their own EW covers.
