For those jonesing for the the fourth season of the critically acclaimed Arrested Development, Netflix has a quick hit for you.

Featured Video

The biggest video-streaming subscription service, which is bringing back the dysfunctional but lovable Bluth family for a fourth season sometime in spring 2013, has added every fake television show and movie mentioned in Arrested Development to Instant Watch. From Les Cousins Dangereux, the saucy but incestous French film about kissing cousins, to Mock Trial With J. Reinhold, the reality show featuring Beverly Hills Cop star Judge Reinhold—they’re all there.

Sadly, the Instant Watch pages are all fake. Those looking to catch a glimpse of misguided topless spring-breakers on Girls With Low Self-Esteem will be disappointed. When you click on the fake titles, Netflix will take you to the Arrested Development episode where it first makes an appearance. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with having more Bluths in your life.

Below are all the fake shows and movies found on Netflix, synopsis and cover art included. Note the hilarious descriptions, or “This movie is: … ,” given to each title.
