Is there a comprehensive list of changes between OG Season 4 and the Re-Mixed Season 4?

I just finished a full-series re-watch and specifically watched the OG version of S4 since that was the version I watched originally, and I've actually never watched the re-mix. I know that cutting it chronologically removes some of the setups and payoffs, but were there any plot differences or new jokes or whatnot?

One of my least favorite things about seasons 4-5 is the character assassination of Maeby.

Maeby goes from hyper competent (literally holding down a complex and time consuming job while also getting Cs in high school) to somehow becoming averse to responsibility in seasons 4-5. I get that the theme of the show demands that the kids turn out exactly like their parents, but God damn Maeby's transformation always rubs me the wrong way.

The joke was always that SHE was the adult in her family. And as someone who had to assume a lot of responsibility as a kid because of shitty parents, I always appreciated Maeybe's character. But seasons 4-5 make everyone 100 times worse than they were in seasons 1-3 (the tone is so bleak).

Ann Veal; Anvil?

On my 109th rewatched and may have come across a new name pun; at least new to me. Is it possible that Ann Veals name is a play on ‘anvil’ because she’s kind of like dead weight, or a drag, or something like that? Or am I reaching?

George Michael and Maeby's Marriage

Why is it never mentioned again that George Michael and Maeby is literally married? Especially in the boat scene in the last episode of season 3, I feel like that would've been a perfect time for George Michael to tell Michael.

Even in the later seasons, like when Maeby came over to the George Michael's dorms for the first time. George Michael could've told P-Hound, "Oh, yeah, that's my wife... so, we need some alone time." And put the sock on the door.

Tobias in season 5

He's at his absolute fucking peak in this season every second he's on camera I'm dying laughing. Especially when he's pretending to be Michael "his charecter is simplicity itself i mean he's the only man who's got his hands perpetually in his pockets. looks at Michael what'd ya got peanuts in there" that has me on the ground laughing every single time. Also "I'm going in and out of Michael like a cukoo clock bird"

Maybe we could build our Tiny Town together. Do you want to, dad? Buster had always wanted to do the same with Gob. Goody! Yeah. I do want to. *surrogate*: Yea. I do want to. Goody. Gob was thrilled. As was Buster.

What's your favourite in-the-background visual joke?

I always look forward to this moment from 'Not Without My Daughter.' From impressing her with his joke about Gob to cringing when he tells Michael he's not daughter enough for him - absolute gold.

This scene reminds me so much of when Tobias blames his current (2003) marital problems on 9/11
