Season 2: 2004-2005
18 episodes.
Season 2 was originally supposed to run 22 episodes, but the order for the last four were cut by the network, reportedly due to low ratings. The network claimed it was strategy to "protect" the show from cancellation since the last four episodes (were they to have been produced) would have aired during sweeps. The writers made light of this reduction by having an order for a tract of houses the Bluth Company was supposed to build cut from 22 houses to 18.

Season 3: 2005-2006
Although the series' episode order was cut again, a total of thirteen episodes were produced. The final episodes seem, to a certain extent, to resolve the Bluth saga. However, the series could continue, considering that certain story arcs remain unresolved, and that things are not always what they seem for the Bluth family. After creater/showrunner Mitch Hurwitz declined Showtime's offer for a fourth and fifth season, rumors persist about a movie, as implied by the last scene of the season finale.
