Arrested Development cast members at an event

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything… and the one team who had no choice but to choose a name inspired by them. It’s “Arrested Development” team names!

First airing in 2003, “Arrested Development” originally ran for just three seasons but managed to gain a cult following and was revived for additional seasons in 2013.[1]

Packed with iconic quotes, complicated family matters, and flawed characters, “Arrested Development” is the type of show you can watch over and over, gaining new insight each time.

In fact, network executives found the show too complicated, asking creator Mitch Hurwitz to sign a contract agreeing to make it easier to understand![2]

Luckily for us (the viewers), he didn’t comply.

Whether you’re playing fantasy sports, participating in a trivia night, or naming a group chat, we can help you find the perfect name.

How to Create Your Own “Arrested Development” Trivia Team Names

Use the following tips to brainstorm your own “Arrested Development” trivia team names:

  • Use iconic quotes from the show. “Arrested Development” is best remembered for its clever writing and iconic quotes. There are hundreds of fan favorites! Have each person on your team contribute a favorite, then take a vote to narrow it down to one perfect team name.
  • Make a play on your favorite character’s name. From the Bluth family themselves to memorable side characters like Barry Zuckerkorn and Cindi Lightballoon, note your favorite characters and see if you can think of any puns or jokes related to their names. You can also use personality or character traits to create your team name.
  • Get inspiration from the show’s locations. The Bluth family lives in California, but some more specific locations in the series might inspire your team name. For example, you could create a name inspired by the Milford School, the Sudden Valley housing development, Balboa Towers, and Wee Britain.
  • Re-watch the show. “Arrested Development” is one of those shows where even if you only have time to watch one episode, you’re guaranteed to laugh many times. Every episode is full of iconic quotes and jokes. Watch an episode (or binge a season) with your team and jot down your favorite parts for team name inspiration!
