Arrested Development (show not band) Thread

[leith]

It would make sense for him to have said it and it does sound like him.

Also the phone msg montage was classic and totally in line w/ the character relationships. The writers on this show go the xtra mile for those paying attention.

Some more of my favorites from last week:

Tobias falls asleep mid-sentence

Lucille\'s face on Michael\'s phone

Tom\'s early toast about George being "into the Kitty" and his late toast when he attempts to say some nice things about Gob, which proves impossible. "Please don\'t laugh"

Buster grabs a Bart Simpson doll with the crane

Gob gets out of the cab: "...the guy with the $6000 banana suit. Come on!"

Tobias in slow motion looking into the mirror blue (with that America\'s Most Wanted/Unsolved Mysteries-esque drum beat in the background)

Oscar goes on a 420-mile walk

Michael tells Maeby to pick the first song in the book and Afternoon Delight is atop the alphabetical standings. Obviously, the song and the show have the initials AD.

Gob: "If I don\'t fire them, how will I teach the others a lesson?"
Michael: "There are no others. You fired them all."

Michael constant wave of "No" after Lucille\'s request to move in

New Episode tonite!  Say Again New Episode Tonite! Yeah!

[ChrisPitch]

and bateman wins the golden globe for best comedy series actor (at 8:45, during his own show no less)

[HarryHooood]

Great episode tonight, and I\'m so psyched that Bateman won the Golden Globe!  I\'m just hoping it wins for best comedy too, and not Desperate Housewives.

[davepeck]

won\'t be watching tonight\'s episode til tomorrow, but i had to comment on this...

Musical or Comedy Series: "Desperate Housewives," ABC.

i saw this coming months ago, when i heard DH was entering the GGs under \'comedy\', and it\'s unfortunate. as someone who is a big fan of DH and has been watching it since week 1, i will say wholeheartedly that it is NOT a comedy. are there funny moments? sure. but it is most certainly more of a drama than a comedy. and on top of that, to say it\'s a better comedy than AD is just completely absurd. clearly a flaw in the system.

that said, i\'m very happy for JB on his award, and equally happy for Teri Hatcher.. both well-deserved.

[leith]

OK I will wait \'til tomorrow to discuss this most hilarious epi.

[ChrisPitch]

Of course, I don\'t agree with every winner (such as Nip/Tuck over the Sopranos), but to the Golden Globe\'s credit, it\'s just an award show. No lame jokes, musical numbers, or syrupy splendor. Nice to see Ian McShane win for Deadwood.
And, of course, Robin Williams.

"The Wall" :lol:

GOB still in dad\'s suit and saying \'COME ON!\'...

34. wireless crapability

GOB again getting help testing out the new chair! rotfl

\'you look surprised.\'

\'you should be playing the field.\'


:thumbsup: another great ep..

# NOTE: Michael was going to take a job with the Sitwell company in the "Pilot."
# The sign over the studio is promoting Homeless Dad, the "rigidly formulaic popcorn movie" Tom Jane was preparing for in "The One Where They Build A House."
# Gob calmly says "I need ice" like the "We need ice" in the "Pilot."
# This is Tobias\' second job as a security officer. His first was in "Not Without My Daughter."
# Gob\'s chipped tooth and whistling is a reference to "Charity Drive," when he chipped his tooth (and whistled) after biting into a candied apple.
# The baseball game is being played at Milford Park. The Bluth children attended the Milford Academy ("Public Relations", "Afternoon Delight").
# Gob yet again acts out his insulting chicken dance move, a reference to several past episodes, including one where he was arrested for the act.
# Early in the episode, Gob shows that he decides to keep his "Come on!" outburst bit from his $12,000 suit days.
# In "Best Man for the Gob," Tobias says that Teamocil had been discontinued. (Apparently, the problem of "complete pituitary shutdown" has been solved.)

GOB has definitely been this season\'s MVP so far..

"This goes for the guys too, because sometimes even the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man, you\'re living in Fuck City." rotfl

"I\'m an idea man, I think I proved that with Fuck Mountain."
 
"Then Gob fucked Lucille 2" :holyshit:

Tobias is Queen Mary. :banana:

"I\'ll be your wingman."

"I\'ll even take a chubby and suck it up!" :holyshit:

"Everyone thinks they\'re Frank Sinatra."

"my son doesn\'t like to be seen in it [the stair car]"
"but he likes being seen with that girl?"
"i know, it doesn\'t make sense..." :sigh:

"I get hop-ons"
"Yeah, you get hop-ons." "lol"

"Well that\'s what Ask Jeeves said." :doh:

[leith]

Lindsey:Mother I\'m free for the afternoon
