  1. Who was the narrator on “Arrested Development?”

[/QUOTE]

Not to sound like a party pooper, but: you seriously think that’s a level 1 (I’m assuming 1 is easiest at 3 is hardest) question? Arrested Development? I know that show has its rabid fans, but you’re not exactly asking a trivia question about a wildly popular show, like Seinfeld or Cheers or MASH or something.

No. No, it is not a level 2 question. I wouldn’t even put it as a 3 for the purpose of this thread, IMO.
