By the time Netflix announced a deal last fall to produce a fourth season of the show to debut in early 2013, fans had earned the right to be skeptical, and not even the sight of the reunited cast at April’s National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas seemed like definitive proof that new episodes are really, really under way.
