BUMP for Friday!

IT’S A FAMILY AFFAIR ON THE SPECIAL ALL-NEW TWO-HOUR SEASON FINALE OF “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT” FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, ON FOX

Spoiler (hover to show)
Judge Reinhold, William Hung, Justine Bateman, Jamie Kennedy Make Guest Appearances

In four back-to-back episodes, George Sr. hires a new attorney who asks the Bluths to participate in a mock trial to help prepare them for the real thing. The attorney gets actor Judge Reinhold, to preside over the mock case. Meanwhile, Buster fakes a coma to get out of testifying and George Michael and Maeby participate in a mock wedding to entertain hospital patients. Back at the office, Michael discovers he may have a long-lost sister named Nellie Bluth. In an effort to get to the bottom of things, Michael tracks Nellie down and hires her as a consultant for The Bluth Co. Unfortunately, Michael discovers Nellie’s hands-on approach is more than he bargained for. Meanwhile, Gob goes to Iraq to perform his Christian magic act on the USO tour and ends up incarcerated. Michael learns George Sr. sent Gob to Iraq to burn down the model home he built there, so Michael and Buster fly to Iraq to spring Gob from prison. The Bluth brothers head to the model home, where they make a discovery that could end the family’s legal troubles forever. Back in Orange County, Lucille decides to throw a yacht party to celebrate. The Bluths gather aboard the Queen Mary for a trip that ends up being far from smooth sailing on the “Faking It/Family Ties/Exit Strategy/Development Arrested” episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Friday, Feb. 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Yeah I guess. It is real fun to do so but I think of these 4 as one big ass episode. and maybe the last AD I ever get to see.

Yeah I put maybe. I will not buy a subscription to showtime just for AD and CBS will just bury it after one of their great shows now like King of Queens.

Hey man CBS has some quality programming, like last night my Father and I enjoyed another wholesome episode of How I Met Your Mother...

I\'d give anything for Maybe to fight Egg for the fair hand of George Michael....SEINFELD OF MY GENERATION!!!

everything on CBS sucks, has always sucked and will always suck, since they runined the state after they bought it from MTV owned the rights and had one show....then done

anyway, AD is not going to CBS, it was thought to go to Showtime or ABC

Showtime has made a bid to buy the show and co 2 seasons of 13episodes each

Mitch Hurwitz is the one who is on the fence right now
