Arrested Development

[Bambie4284]

I've watched every episode and its definately one of my new favorites. Unforunately there's talk that Fox is pulling the plug on it...its critically acclaimed but doesn't have enough fans. Anyone else like it?

[flyer3468]

sorry, but I never watched it

[JustinRIT]

I thought this would be about the band.

[TheMadViolin]

I love it

One of the few shows I try to watch every week.

[katedid81]

good show

[puck6two4]

It's OK, but the son really annoys me. I can't find him to be a likeable character, which he is one of the few you're supposed to like. But I sure hope its not cancelled.

[Bambie4284]

I just got next week's TV Guide and Arrested Development is mentioned in the Cheers/Jeers section. Fox has decided to pick it up for next season (just in case any of you were wondering).

[ODB4LYFE]

a game of horse shoes?























someone knows what im talking about...right?

[Bambie4284]

:confused:

I don't. But maybe thats just me.

[JTRain]

I fucking love Gob's chicken dance.

"Circumvent. It means to go around."

"The old reach-around."


Best show on television. Even better than Scrubs, and I fucking love Scrubs too.

[DebbieS]

A game of HORSE shoooooooeeeees. Mr Wendel, yeah!

[Naediel]

I love this show, definitely my favorite on TV right now! I really really hope they don't cancel it.

[Nautiest_monkey]

great show. I hope it doesn't follow the trend of all teh shows I like on Fox being cancelled. Andy Richter, Greg the Bunny, etc...



:monkey :monkey :monkey :monkey :monkey

[bron]

There's talk of cancelling it?? Nooooo!! I fricken love this show! It's so funny...anyone who hasn't watched it, should.

[JTRain]

There's talk of cancelling it?? Nooooo!!


Well, it's at least made it into a second season, so that's good. Here's hoping for at least a third.

[JimiThang1]

There's talk of cancelling it?? Nooooo!! I fricken love this show! It's so funny...anyone who hasn't watched it, should.

I seriously doubt they will cancel it now that it has won an emmy. This show is just such genius. And the first three episodes this season have been flippin hilarious. I have never laughed so hard.

[TwoStep2888]

I love when Gob sunk the boat. That show better stick around for a while. It's really great stuff.

[JTRain]

Heads up...Jason Bateman is on Letterman tonight.

[OCMarsh]

I wet my pants from laughing when this show is on. When Buster woke up in the trunk and thought he was in Mexico I almost cried.

I really liked the line in the trunk, when he's talking to the camera, being all dramatic about leaving, then yawns and says "It's sleepy in here."

Haha.

[Nautiest_monkey]

henry Winkler was on Jimmy Kimmel live last night and they were talking about having to save teh show from cancelation

[JTRain]

Holy fucking shit. Tonight's episode was...beyond fantastic.

[haildmb]

hilarious... first time i ever watched this show

[JTRain]

Gob as Charlie (http://img71.exs.cx/img71/8779/e3tgob.jpg)

Buster discovers the death of Captain Kangaroo (http://img71.exs.cx/img71/8526/j9obuster.jpg) :lol

Also, when Ann broke up with George-Michael, and he began crying. Gold.

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Best show on TV.

[OCMarsh]

Also, when Ann broke up with George-Michael, and he began crying. Gold.
Did anyone else catch this? When George-Michael is walking home with his head down, crying and they are playing the sad Charlie Brown song, in the background there is a big red doghouse with a beagle laying on top of it. I rewound it on tivo, paused and laughed my ass off.

There was also a couple of people carrying a grubby looking christmas tree the opposite way on the sidewalk...

[tarheel997]

By far this is the best comedy on TV. New episodes(which Family Guy lacks) that dont suck(which The Simpsons lack) make me really hope it sticks around for a while.

:thumbsup New episodes of Family Guy are coming though. Hopefully they won't be as dreadful as the last couple of seasons of The Simpson's.

[ZanerDMB91]

I've got a crush on Mayebe Funke

[ZanerDMB91]

New Episode in 20 mins. Keep the ratings up, you wont be sorry if you turn in, like many people have said already, funniest show on tv

[tarheel997]

Gob: "You look excited Mr. Sitwell."

Mr. Sitwell: "Oh, sorry, I didn't know they were up that high."

For all your Arrested Development needs

[lwaltz#41]

Though The Simpsons is my favorite show, Arrested is the funniest show on television. I'm so glad that I tested out the first episode the first time it was on and feel in love with it.

I really, really hope that the ratings for Arrested and Scrubs both go up in not so distant future :thumbsup

Scrubs has been brilliant this season. After the first year I got burned out, every episode seemed like a version I'd seen before. But this season is very fresh and hilarious.

I like the new story about JD hooking up with a black girl ("The only difference between a black girl and a white girl is when a black girl asks if her ass is big, you say 'Hell Yeah!'")

My favorite part of the show is the way the characters interact with each other. I love hearing "Barbie" or "Bambi" or "Blonde Doctor" in each and every episode because by doing that, you feel right at home with the characters even you only watch it once a week.

[lwaltz#41]

Yeah, check out my quote on the first page about the new episodes of the Simpsons sucking.

I wouldn't go so far as to they're sucking. It's just that they aren't up to the brilliance we're used to seeing in The Simpsons.

The great thing is that when it's only a decent episode, you've got Arrested to wipe that bad taste of your mouth.

[OCMarsh]

That was the best episode I've seen in weeks!


Sitwell: I'm gonna try to lowball her.
Gob: Not while were around!

Dr. Cox has been the single funniest character of any show this year.

[JimiThang1]

Sitwell: I'm gonna try to lowball her.
Gob: Not while were around!

Haha yea it was great tonight! I loved all the insinuation. They went wayyy over their limit tonight with that (there is some every single episode) especially with Tobias. And I loved every single minute of it!

[ZanerDMB91]

Okay, so Fox has halted production but hasn't officialy "cancelled" AD. It's only get 18 episodes this year as opposed to last years 22.

Here is the little that we can do. Sign the petition, its among the most active.

[Hench]

if they cancel it, I'll lose all faith in the networks. between that, the ever-increasing suckitude of the simpsons, and nypd blue in its final season, tv is becoming less and less appealing to me


"I gotta get in the new poof!"

[MRGreySt.YNK]

I don't get how Fox can get away with this. AD is one of the funniest shows on TV. Bateman won the Golden Globe, what more does Fox want, they won Best Comedy Series last year in the GG also. The same thing happened to "Sports Night" and it was made by the same Executive Producers: Brian Glazer and Ron Howard. I will never watch Fox again if they cancel it.

[JimiThang1]

It would be a shame if this show is cancelled by Fox. If it is I hope Howard and Grazer take it to some other network where it will be accepted *cough* Comedy Central *cough*

[MRGreySt.YNK]

It would be a shame if this show is cancelled by Fox. If it is I hope Howard and Grazer take it to some other network where it will be accepted *cough* Comedy Central *cough*

Or better yet, HBO where it would really take off.

[Yesac820]

I dont see how this show could die if FOX canceled it. Another network would pick it up im sure.

[ZanerDMB91]

Let's certainly hope so.

Sports Nights pretty much is my favorite night, and regardless of the fact that they aren't the same style of show, the parallels are too rampant to miss, and while Sports Night was given a chance to move to HBO and didn't, I can only hope that if Arrested Development is offered such an oppurtinity, that it takes it, and might even turn a great show into something universally known.

"i think i may have someone whos going to cirsumvrent the law."

[Franchize41]

Last nights episode was HYSTERICAL. Martin Short was amazing and I don't usually like him.




:lol

that was definately the best part of last nights show

[yankeeMan888]

I dont see how this show could die if FOX canceled it. Another network would pick it up im sure.

damn I hope so. It would really be a shame if FOX cancelled AD.

[lwaltz#41]

After Sunday's episode, how could they "cancel" this show? I loved Tobias innuedos, and basically, the show is genius.

Funniest show on television..I can't stress that enough!!!

[lwaltz#41]

Even though Fox is being a piece of shit (!!!!!!!), Zach Braff is going to be on AD which is awesome!

[MRGreySt.YNK]

When is Braff going to be on AD???

[lwaltz#41]

When is Braff going to be on AD???

He doesn't say when but rest assured, he will be on. Ben Stiller too

[MRGreySt.YNK]

Oh ok. Sounds good.

[The Onion]

Arrested Development is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a looong time. Check out the AV Club's interview, Mitchell Hurwitz. It's really interesting.

http://www.theonionavclub.com/feature/index.php?issue=4106

Later y'all.

[ZanerDMB91]

Thanks, Great read.

The Bluth family Biopic sounds so hilarious, and I think that "Amigos and Good Grief" from this season are just slightly under "Pier Pressure"...the funniest episode of any show I think I may have seen.

[clayj41]

Scrubs has been brilliant this season. After the first year I got burned out, every episode seemed like a version I'd seen before. But this season is very fresh and hilarious.

Scrubs and AD are the two funniest shows on television.

[JimiThang1]

Did anyone watch tonight's two episodes? Best parts had to be Job throwing the terminally ill cats over the boat and Buster going nuts with his hook. God I hope they don't cancel this show! Oh and the blatant bashing at the writers of the Simpsons too!

[Bambie4284]

Yep, saw em both...terrific episodes tonight.

Was it just me or was that fat lady in Julia Louis-Dreyfus' house Amy Poehler?

[JimiThang1]

You are correct. She was on an episode last year. That is what they were referring to.

[Nitro1515]

Tonights episodes were great, I love how Michael never remembers who Anne is

[Yesac820]

Best show on tv, and tonight it was proven once again... God they better not cancel it

[Nitro1515]

If they cancel this show there is something seriously wrong with TV. The show is so original and hilarious, yet you know Fox will end up canceling it eventually anyway just like they did to Freaks and Geeks which I thought was another great show. Still somehow trash like the Simple Life will keep going on.

[mmazz72]

I've never watched the show, but...

Lord I've really been real stressed
Down and out, losin ground
Although I am black and proud
Problems got me pessimistic
Brothers and sisters keep messin up
Why does it have to be so damn tuff?
I don't know where I can go
To let these ghosts out of my skull
My grandmas past, my brothers gone
I never at once felt so alone
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
Not just my spare tire (home)
But lord I ask you (home)
To be my guiding force and truth (home)
For some strange reason it had to be (home)
He guided me to Tennessee (home)

(Chorus) Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan


Lord it's obvious we got a relationship
Talkin to each other every night and day
Although you're superior over me
We talk to each other in a friendship way
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break
Outta the country and into more country
Past Dyesburg into Ripley
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me
Walk the roads my forefathers walked
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from
Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (home)
Go back to from whence you came (home)
My family tree my family name (home)
For some strange reason it had to be (home)
He guided me to Tennessee (home)

Chorus

Now I see the importance of history
Why people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
I ask you lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightment of all my folks
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty...
The lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searchin for are
The answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee

[bron]

Tonights episodes were great, I love how Michael never remembers who Anne is

:lol :thumbsup

[The Onion]

I've missed three straight eps. I keep writng myself notes, but I'm so forgetful.

I'm gonna be so lost when I start watching again.

[ZanerDMB91]

Was it just me or was that fat lady in Julia Louis-Dreyfus' house Amy Poehler?

Well, Amy Poeheler is Wife of Gob (Will Arnett's wife in real life), but a different actress played the fat lady.

Looking back, I'd have to say my top 3 eps are
1. Pier Pressure
2. Good Grief/Amigos
3. Shock and Awe

[tarheel997]

Just know that Michael finally stuck it to Sally Sitwell, Buster got his hand bit off by a loose seal that GOB set free, and Lucille 2 now owns the majority stock of the company. I know you can download them on suprnova.org, try that if you can't seem to catch the episodes. :thumbsup

[lwaltz#41]

Great episode tonight!

Between the Burger King promos and Winkler "Jumping the Shark," I think that it was the best episode of the season!

[TheMadViolin]

I've essentially missed the entire 2nd season so far while being at college... ugh. However, this past spring break I rented the first season on DVD and rewatched them all. Love it

[Hench]

"stop licking my hand!"

[clayj41]

It was a great episode, but I think that both of the episodes last week were better.

"Who wants to take their top off?"

I busted a gut.

[JimiThang1]

Oh yea last night was so funny...but last week was definately better.

[lwaltz#41]

[clayj41]

:thumbsup Jobe's campaign video that he made for George Michael was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. :lol

[Nitro1515]

I was laughing my ass off the whole show, especially George Michael reenacting Star Wars

[clayj41]

I was laughing my ass off the whole show, especially George Michael reenacting Star Wars

Jobe:"Come on Michael, that was the lamest thing every caught on tape."

Then it shows the flasback sequence, "No, what's more disturbing was Buster reenacting scenes from his favorite movie "Chicago." Buster picks up a broom and knocks the head off of the dummy. "Buster also liked Star Wars."

Classic!!! :lol

[JimiThang1]

I wonder how long they will have tobias dressed up as a maid?

[Cordevil95]

I call it Magic.. let me finish... around the office

[Mel4AU]

"Finding a broadcast example is tougher. Fox's "Arrested Development" is an Emmy winner and critics' darling, but the show has yet to cultivate an audience in two seasons and is unlikely to get a third."

[JimiThang1]

Where did this quote come from?

Steve Holt is a bastard

[Yesac820]

You're a bastard!



wait, no nevermind.... "Steve Holt doesnt even know his real Father!"

[Mel4AU]

Where did this quote come from?

cnn.com or foxnews.com

one that was talkin about the "sitcome crisis" or something like that at nbc.

[JimiThang1]

Ah gotcha...I dunno I still think Arrested is fairly safe just with critical praise alone. If it does get cancelled I don't think it will have a problem going to one of the cable channels like comedy central or HBO. Imagine what things they could do with this show on HBO!

[patriciaofoz]

We're a whole season behind here in Australia for this show. A friend sent me the Season 1 DVD when it came out there. It's underrated & is shown here at the ungodly hour of 11:30pm. It was never given any chance.

But what a riot of a show. High quality and one that I can watch over & over. If Fox cancels it, that would be very disappointing.

[Cordevil95]

Pound... that's tic tack toe, right?

[lwaltz#41]

According to Entertainment Weekly, out of a scale of five axes, the show got two. The shows with five axes have a much better chance of being cancelled, then the ones with two or lower.

Ben Stiller is on tonight's episode.

I loved in last week's episode how when Steve learns that his Dad is Gob, they play "The Final Countdown." Little things like that make the show so great because they play that song whenever talking about Gob or when he's doing his magic tricks.

[JimiThang1]

Yea I saw that. Hopefully it holds true.

[Mel4AU]

how do they gauge the axes though?

[lwaltz#41]

It's just their opinion...

Jack and Bobby...one ax
American Dreams and AD...two
Bernie Mac and Kevin Hill...three
Joan of Arcadia...four
Judging Amy and Less Than Perfect...five

[Mel4AU]

ad has critical acclaim. yes. BUT fox isn't concerned with that. what they want are viewers, and ad apparently has few of us. i'm still worried.

[JimiThang1]

If Fox was smart they would put it on after American Idol. House, 24, and even the Simple Life have seen extremely high ratings this season.

[lwaltz#41]

If Fox was smart they would put it on after American Idol. House, 24, and even the Simple Life have seen extremely high ratings this season.

As much as I love The Simpsons, they just don't pull in audiences like they used to. The only thing is that if AD were on after AI, smart TV viewers would be torn between AI and Scrubs. They're the two funniest shows on TV and don't get nearly enough viewers. Why are people so dumb?

:thumbsup You're getting a rep point for Scrubs and AD!

[clayj41]

Wow, tonight's episode was one of the funniest I've ever seen! I especially loved the whole Star Wars video tie in at the end.

[JimiThang1]

Oh my god this show...so fuckin hilarious. I loved both Ben Stiller and Dan Castanella tonight. It was great in the hospital when Dan said "d'oh" really quietly under his breath and Lucille was like "I KNEW IT!" haha so many in jokes...god i love this show.

[lwaltz#41]

It really is the best comedy on television. I was so happy when Dan showed up but was slighty sad when Zach Braff wasn't on it because he was supposed to be.

One of my favorite parts was when they were talking about cutting down from 22 to 18...nice little shot at FOX, etc.

[JimiThang1]

Haha I caught that part too. Do you think they are going to ever get Buster's hand back? Poor guy haha

[lwaltz#41]

Haha I caught that part too. Do you think they are going to ever get Buster's hand back? Poor guy haha

I kind of hope not because I like him doing "I'M A MONSTER!!!" That's pretty damn amusing.

I also like how Tobias has been getting bigger roles in the recent episodes and I'm kind of sad that Portia De Rossi doesn't have a bigger part

[JimiThang1]

Holy shit...gotta give it up for Franklin the hand puppet tonight.

[JimiThang1]

Oh and buster at the end with his...YOU FREAK BITCH!! HHAHAHA

[clayj41]

Yeah, tonight's episode was pretty good. I was a little disappointed though. It wasn't as good as the last couple of weeks.

[tarheel997]

Yeah, tonight's episode was pretty good. I was a little disappointed though. It wasn't as good as the last couple of weeks.

Last night's episode was great...

Buster "My father left."

Oscar "Or maybe he's still here..."(music)

Michael "Shut up."

(3 minutes later)

Oscar "No you shut up!"

[Mel4AU]

i loved tobias-maid's bush cheney sweatshirt. and oscar smoking a joint with buster's prosthesis and the dog attacking buster later.

solid episode last night!

[lwaltz#41]

Yeah, it was a very good episode!

[Yesac820]

1 minute til a new episode!

This'll be good

[trippingbilly12]

1 minute til a new episode!

Tonights episode looks good Zach Braff plays some guy who harrassed Gob while he was doing his magic on "The Girls With Low Self-Esteem" videos

[Yesac820]

I love when its spring break...

"Oh cut it, We got a surfboard in the shot!"

[sonofsuns34]

spring break WOAAAAAAA

[Mel4AU]

buster is so cute

and maeby is so pretty!

[JimiThang1]

I loved Ron Howards narration tonight..."And THAT's how you narrate!" Hahahah

[Mel4AU]

:lol "notice that wasn't said by the narrator"
tonight was funny, not enough braff though.

[Nitro1515]

Buster: You know he just wants to see some boys "Linus's"
Great episode tonight, if they ever cancel this show i will be pissed

[Nautiest_monkey]

I love that this thread is still around. I was and still am a huge fan of the show but my work schedule changed and I have to work Sunday night.

[clayj41]

Tonights' episode was great! You gotta love the appearance by Braff.

[watchtower41]

Also love the cameo by Jeff Garlin from Curb. Absolutely fantastic show.

Some really good news...it isn't totally 100% yet but word is that Fox is truly behind Arrested and it probably will be back next season. Story here:

[Cordevil95]

So what's with Tobias campin out in the chimneys??!! That was so random. I wonder if we are missing something due to the episode cutbacks this season.

[JimiThang1]

I know what was up with that?? I'm glad you asked it because I was going to ask it but I was like nah maybe I missed something...I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned about that!

New episode is on right now! Anyone watching it?

[JimiThang1]

Hah funny stuff tonight...i can't believe the season is over. God I hope they bring it back next season!

[bense27]

Yeah they are because at the end of the episode they said "Next season on Arrested Development..."

[bense27]

I thought they ended the season well though.

[JimiThang1]

Yeah they are because at the end of the episode they said "Next season on Arrested Development..."
Not necessarily...it hasn't been picked up yet. They did that at the end of last season too.

[Hench]

Yeah they are because at the end of the episode they said "Next season on Arrested Development..."

at the end of every episode they always have a "next time on arrested development" with scenes that are never actually in the next episode...they're more like a hypothetical take on what will happen in the future with the scenarios that were more or less resolved in the day's episode.

[Nitro1515]

If they don't pick this show up for next season then I will be pissed. This is the only good thing on TV right now

at the end of every episode they always have a "next time on arrested development" with scenes that are never actually in the next episode...they're more like a hypothetical take on what will happen in the future with the scenarios that were more or less resolved in the day's episode.

No they said " On the next SEASON of arrested development..."

I have it on my Tivo and i just watched it again and they definately say "season"

Like I said they did this last season as well...but the show has not been picked up by Fox yet so there may not be a next season.

That is why there are websites like this right now trying to save the show:

So do what you can save the show!

I loved how when Franklin got washed and he came out white he suddenly had a British accent... awesome!

And the song GOB does with Franklin in the studio... "he's got kids all over town..."

[lwaltz#41]

It's the only 30 minutes during the week that you know is going to be top notch. It's the funnest show on television, keeps getting funnier, gets great guest stars, has the best group cast on television, and yet, people don't watch it...

Think of Franklin/Big Yellow Joint/Tony Wonder/etc.

Just thought I'd share, I met GOB (Will Arnett) this weekend in Chicago. He was in town with David Koechner (Champ Kind in Anchorman) performing in a special guest appearance at Improv Olympic. I was fortunate enough to share a beer with Will after the show and wasted no time getting into a convo about AD. GOB was an extremely nice guy, and is very passionate about the show. We talked about the future of the Bluths and he had a lot to share. As of right now, FOX has not renewed the show for Season 3. Critics love the show, and people that have turned in also love it, but FOX has not gained the consistent viewship that it expected with this sitcom. Right now its kinda up in the air on whter or not we'll see AD on FOX ever again. We also talked about Ron Howard a bit, and he added that Howard has all of his creativity invested in to the show, and is stopping at nothign at trying to promote it. The big problme lays with having to compete with Desperate Housewives, FOX cut AD down to 18 minutes this year and down to 18 episodes this year, compared to 22 minutes the first year, 24 episodes. They get up 55 page scripts for each episode, easily enough to make each show an hour long. He is also aware about the on0line petition to FOX, if you havent seen it.. check it out and sign it www.saveourbluths.com We ended our convo talking about what he's up to next, actually he was in Chicago not only to accompany Koechner at the Improv, but they are filming a new movie together in Joliet, IL.

^That's cool as hell. Here's hoping Fox gets their head out of their ass and decides to renew the show.

[JimiThang1]

Wow that's awesome...great story! Something in me says that Fox is going to wait until the very last minute to decide to renew or not.

I was listening to the radio this afternoon and the DJ said stay tuned to hear what show Fox is renewing. And I was like hell yea they are renewing AD! NOPE...fucking renewing that stupid Pamela Anderson bullshit Stacked! I was so pissed!

:thumbsup I can't understand how FOX can keep Paris Hiltons dumbass show on the air, but somehow keeping one of the most critically acclaimed sitcoms ever is impossible to do.

Very cool. I met Will once, but that was pre-AD. Cool guy.

If AD was on cable, there'd be no question as to its future. Cable lives on smaller, cult followings (Family Guy on Adult Swim), while broadcast networks only care about viewers. If Fox does get rid of it, I hope they at least sell it to a cable network to keep it alive for its hardcore fans.

If you haven't bought the Season One DVDs yet, but them. Then watch 'Bringing Up Buster' and 'Pier Pressure'.:hump

def agree, the show would fit perfect on HBO right before Curb. Its a shame, tv sitcoms have become so cookie cutter, that its impossible for 1/2 of america's tv audience to actually comprehend the brillance that goes into AD's writing and acting. I have no doubts that if Fox dropped the ball, someone else would steal it immediately and jump right back on.

I don't have HBO! :lol :lorraine It's basic cable all the way for me. AD is brilliant writing, and I hope if Fox does drop it, they'll allow someone else to run with it. Networks tend to be enormous bullshit machines, and won't let other companies expand on the stuff they lost inerest in:mad :lorraine .

The upfronts (when new programming is introduced to advertisers) are all next week so we will find out then. If that's true, I would be ecstatic!!!

[JimiThang1]

Arrested will be on Monday's at 8pm next season beginning in the Fall. Strangely Fox does not have it on it's schedule after January. Maybe it will be a straight run through of 22 episodes like 24 was non-stop this season.

Have they announced a date yet?

[junior94]

This isn't incredibly substantive, but I just discovered this thread exists and so wanted to share. I was orgasmic hearing AD was brought back for not just the 1 but 2 full season orders. I was a proud part of the "Save Our Show!" Poll. This is simply the best goddamn show on TV, though I'm sorry to see it leave Sundays, it was a nice companion to The Simpsons. I haven't literally full-on guffawed out loud at a show like this since The Simpsons. One episode, I don't remember what the scene was, but I was laughing so hard (and into coughing) I actually came an inch away from vomiting. Now that's good comedy :cool

Everyone catch when in the ep that used the Snoopy sad theme like 4 times, when we saw George Michael walking with his head down along the street, he passed by a house whose front lawn had a doghouse that looked exactly like Snoopy's?? Frikkin' genius :p

[drumdude05]

One of my favorite scenes from Season 1 was when Buster threw himself through the sliding door.

[junior94]

Have you guys seen the TV spot for the season premiere with Jason Bateman and Carmen Electra? PRICELESS :cool

They're both just standing there, in front of a blank/white backdrop, commenting on how Electra's never won an Emmy ("never even been nominated!" they say :p) and yet AD has 5 to their credit even though, as Bateman remarks deadpan "nobody's ever actually watched our show". So the deal Mr. Michael Bluth proposes is that he'll give miss Carmen Electra 1 of AD's Emmys if 15 million viewers tune in to the season 3 premiere. "We're not kidding."

Again.... PRICELESS :cool

[junior94]

The parts where Michael, GOB, and George Michael were waiting to go to the cabin were hilarious. With the Grizzly Adams sleeping bag and the fishing pole. And George Michael and Maebe trying to avoid each other. That was a really good episode and I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season

While in high school GOB had sexual relations with these girls (highlights like 10 girls), these 3 got pregent, this one had a child.

[saygdbye4134pt2]

i am kinda pissed that they moved the show to monday nights. it was having a hard enough time getting ratings for some reason ( i don't know how a show gets 5 emmys and is still hurting for viewers). Point being, they put some stupid ass new show on Sunday's at 7:30 in it's spot. i watched an episode. it's terrible, for lack a of a better word than terrible. i guarantee the show doesn't make it a full season.

so to get ratings, arrested development got carmen electra to do some commercials, boasting that if they got 15 million viewers last night, they would give one of their emmys to carmen. well, with two monday night games on last night, i highly doubt they got their 15 million viewers.

only the diehards tuned in. and from what i have read, we loved it.

[JimiThang1]

Yea they had only 3 Million viewers last night...MNF killed them. Next week should be a little more evened out.
