From Arrested Development trivia
-In the episode "Motherboy XXX", Barry Zuckerkorn (played by Henry Winkler) says, "I missed breakfast, so I'm on my way to Burger King" and then jumps over the dead shark on the pier. This is, of course, a reference to Henry Winkler's character in "Happy Days" (1974) jumping over a shark while on water-skis, signaling the moment when that show lost its relevance. The phrase "Jumping The Shark" was made popular in the 1990's as a metaphor for a television show reaches its peak.
It's amazing how much cross reference there is in this series.
One more interesting one:
-Amy Poehler who plays G.O.B's accidental wife in many season 1 episodes is in fact Will Arnett's (The actor who plays G.O.B.) wife.
