1. One of Tobias' parents was supposed to be African American,
making Tobias a multiracial man.      This show never ceases to
amaze me. There was a thread on Reddit a couple of months ago
where a former writer assistant for Arrested
Development answered a bunch of questions about the show. 
One of the questions was      "One thing I was always curious
about were Tobias’s references to him being a black man. Was
this just a random joke, or was there going to be an episode
about his confused racial identity?"      And his/her answer:
One of Tobias’ real parents were going to be black.      Can you
imagine how funny that would’ve been? All the little suggestions
that we heard on the show make so much sense now.      If you
read the entire thread, you can see so many other amazing story
lines that would have developed if the show wasn’t canceled so
early. It is such a shame, really great stuff could have
happened with all the characters.      Thank you
