Arrested Development (show not band) Thread

[davepeck]

well, if it does end up being the last one, they certainly went out on a high note. :thumbsup:

tobias had some great lines..

\'Well, excuse me if I was too busy on my knees in front of the toilet, Michael.\'

\'Fortunately I found a wonderful circle of men to get me through that.\'

\'Oh. Well, I see you wasted no time filling my seat hole.\' rotfl

george michael\'s reaction to maeby asking about \'dangerous cousins\' was fantastic -  \'No, I... Why, did we...? Why... I don’t... I don’t remember that.\'

the Desperate Housewives creator... :thumbsup:

\'you\'re high!\'
\'you\'re drunk!\' :lol:

the return of the charlie brown xmas music... :thumbsup:

Franklin Comes Alive

Franklin\'s voice changing when he gets out of the dryer...

Maeby\'s movie getting shorter and shorter in length throughout the show...

"you know it\'s true... everything i do... i do it for you......" rotfl


hopefully Maeby\'s line has some hidden meaning:

So get this. All that press actually made the premiere a hit. I mean, there’s actually lines for the next show. Thanks, buddy. Hey, look at that. We didn’t get swallowed up into hell.

we\'ll see. if it\'s not back on FOX, hopefully it is somewhere else.

thanks AD. :thumbsup:

from ain\'t it cool news:

The Last ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT??

“Arrested Development” gets no respect.
* By giving “Desperate Housewives” its Golden Globe for best TV comedy this year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association effectively declared the bland, insipid “Housewives” funnier than “Arrested.”
* Fox cut back its second-season “Arrested Development” order to make room for great new shows like “American Dad,” so the Bluths\' second season ends tonight, well before both May sweeps and the end of the season proper.
* When E! Online ran its “save our show” poll last month, UPN’s “Veronica Mars” got 56 percent of the vote. “Arrested Development” got 9 percent. “Veronica” subsequently got an early renewal, even though “Arrested,” with “The Simpsons” as its lead-in, enjoys a bigger audience.
The networks don’t announce their fall slates for another month, but USA Today on Wednesday indicated that “Arrested” is in the meantime “on the bubble,” neither renewed nor axed.
My advice to “Arrested Development” fans? Click here to vote in USA Today’s “Save Our Show” poll. If memory serves, “Angel” won this poll two years ago and got a fifth season. “Enterprise” won last year and got a fourth season.
“Veronica Mars” isn’t a candidate this year because it’s already been saved, so maybe “Arrested” now stands a chance! What are you waiting for? Tick tock. TICK TOCK!!!

He even helped me make the signs. Well, only mine and the one that says it\'s a tricky grey area.

Oscar loses his fingerprints to the Cornballer. Great way to finish.

You know it\'s true. Everything Fox does. They do it for type of people who like Nanny 911.

An unquestionably classic series.

i said COT!

[Klout]

i happened to catch the last two episodes of the season and i thought this show was really funny! I know a few mentally disturbed rich people and this show reminded me so much of them i had to laff....a lot....good show...was that the first season?

[davepeck]

klout -

that was the 2nd season that just finished. i *highly* recommend picking up the first season on DVD. not only is it hilarious, but there are ongoing jokes that start with the beginning of the series, that you normally wouldn\'t get if you hadn\'t seen the previous episodes..

Hallelujah! Arrested Development fans, brace yourselves. I have some good news and--well, you might want to sit down for this--some mind-blowing, earth-shattering, out-of-this-world, fantastic news.

Earlier this week, a friend here at E! interviewed Jason Bateman at a charity event with his good friend Ben Stiller. When asked the status of Arrested Development, he lit up like a banana stand: "Actually, great. Supergreat. There is a heartbeat. There is no flatline. And there may be twins. I\'m going to let Kristin figure out what that means. I can\'t comment any further, but there will be an announcement next week."

[dizzy77]

That\'s the best news I\'ve heard all week!!!
PInch me am I dreaming? Is it true? Fox backs out on so many good shows in favor of these crappy reality shows like Chris mentioned Nanny 911. It\'s good to see an awesome show get cut a little slack!

[HarryHooood]

Though they\'re still dotting I\'s and crossing T\'s on the final documents, I\'m told Fox network and 20th Century Fox studio are "99.9 percent of the way there" to reaching an agreement on the new season. According to these highly placed sources, it looks very likely that Arrested Development will be coming back not only for a full season of 22 episodes but actually two full seasons of 22 episodes. How freaking fantastic is that?

Huzzzzah!

Running around screaming happily!!!!!!!!!!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FOX DOES MORE TIME WITH “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT”
ORDERING A FULL THIRD SEASON

FOX gets ARRESTED again. The network has ordered a third full season of the Emmy Award-winning comedy series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, it was announced today by Peter Liguori, President, Entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company.

“ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is one of the best comedies on television. The decision to order another season becomes easy when you consider its amazing cast, creative brilliance, critical acclaim and advertiser appeal," said Liguori. "It\'s my first official pick-up since taking the job, and I think it\'s a great way to start."

The critically acclaimed series revolves around Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), the good son who must run the family business and continue to pick up the pieces as he keeps his offbeat family from falling apart. The comedy has featured guest appearances by numerous stars including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Liza Minnelli, Heather Graham and Ben Stiller. Last year, the show received five Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Writing, Directing, Casting and Editing. Additionally, Jason Bateman won a Golden Globe for Outstanding Actor in a Leading Role – Musical or Comedy Series and the show was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Outstanding Musical or Comedy Series. This past season, the cast was nominated for a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. The show was also named an AFI Program of the Year and received the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Comedy, among other accolades.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is produced by Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, David Nevins and Mitch Hurwitz are executive producers.
