Arrested Development

Postby **Scribs** » Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:47 pm

Anyone else here a fan of Arrested Development? I find this show to be the funniest thing currently on TV, and I think it is a horrible shame that it is being cancelled. I think that people need to be made aware of what a totaly hilarious show this is, so that they too may be able to take great pleasure each time one of the Bluths makes "A big mistake." Maybe if enough people start watching it fox will reconsider its unfortunate decision to cancel it.

So those of you who are familiar with this show, get out your Cornballers! Stock up on hot ham water! And dont forget to watch out for loose seals! We need to get the word out about this show.

For those of you who have not yet seen it, go see it. Chances are you will like it.

i've seen a couple episodes, and there are parts that are hilariously funny.

That show is hysterical! I was so sad when I found out it was getting canceled. They have so many bizarre coincedences! I think the narrator is actually one of the funniest people on the show.

Micheal: My family is in a state of... arrested development.
Narrator: Hey, that's the name of this show!
:lol:

And I really loved when Tobias tried to join Blue Man Group!

I have noticed a few more "Save our Bluths" avatars today. That is awsome, this is a show that I believe needs to be saved, so all you Arrested Development fans out there, edit your avatars to fit the occasion, there are a bunch at: http://www.saveourbluths.com . I fervently hope that this show gets uncanceled.

As the owner of season 2, I hope to biscuits they dont cancel this awsome show.

The "driving him to Anne's" line was amazing, any scene with Anne is amazing!

Bland isnt really one of my favourite characters actually, Did you see this weeks episode? I love the newspaper article- "Bob Loblaw lobs law bomb"

wait... was there an episode this week?

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:14 pm

Well, last wednessday or thursday I think. It was very good.

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:35 pm

oooh. yeah, i saw that one...
the one where:

michael:we're veering away from relatability again...

right?

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:36 pm

Yes, and the HBO, Showtime Scene.

I loved that one, so blatent!

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:37 pm

haha... the cast and crew of arrested development despise fox so much :lol:

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:39 pm

I do not blame them! I would too.

They are able to make almost any situation horribly hilarious. It is really really sad to think that soon we may not have any new episodes to watch!

Hopefully Fox will realise that it has "Made a big Mistake"

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:50 pm

yeah, i agree. their bad tv ratings were because of fox, too. fox almost never advertises AD even though AD has gotten tons of emmies... fox is also giving them poor time slots and not advertising the time slot changes properly... i just hope showtime or hbo does take AD...

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Jan 25, 2006 3:53 pm

Yeah, I find it hard to believe tha such a great show could be dropped and not picked up by Someone

Where would the world be without Hot Ham Water? Certainly not where it is today.

too true...

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 6:10 pm

yay! great quotes! i hear the last several episodes will be shown from 8:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. the Friday a week from tomorrow!

narrator: "please tell your friends about this show"

i also hear that showtime will pick up AD as long as its creator, mark hurwitz, comes with them... but he is still considering because he said the last few years have been "an emotional rollercoaster" for him...

Postby **Scribs** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 7:38 am

I hadnt heard that about showtime, but I really hope that they do pick it up!

Holy crap the season finally was incredible.

They arent cousins! =D

Postby **Scribs** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 10:05 pm

Anyong!

That was amazing. Quite possibly the funniest 2 hours of television I have ever seen.

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 8:57 am

yeah, there was a lot of elaborate plots and comedy in those four episodes... i liked the very end when ron howard (the narrator) came on as a character and revealed that they probably won't continue AD as a show.... but maybe a MOVIE!

I actually thought that was a little out of place, but to each his own.

You have to love the lessons taught by the one armed man

"and that is why you always leave a note"

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 7:48 am

one-armed man = best intro episode IMHO

...

i think the martin short one was the most despised episode in general AD fandom opinions

...

yay! i watched firefly until it got canceled =( serenity was really good, though... hopefully AD will be the same way like they were hinting... maybe the firefly/serenity transition even inspired them...

I've only seen one episode, but.... I noticed George Michael was the same guy who played Larrabie (prune juice guy) in My Best Friend Is An Alien.

Postby **TallHobbit86** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 8:11 am

yeah, and the guy playing michael (jason bateman) is the title character in the insanely poor sequel: teen wolf 2...

Edit: (because i don't want to double post) my friend told me that a lot of internet news sites are claiming that showtime signed up AD for two thirteen-episode seasons... it's not officially true, yet... but i really hope it is true...

ahh! i love this show! Meboeck introduced it to me, and at first, to be honest, i wasn't sure what to think of it. At first it annoyed me. It was so different in so many ways from what i was used to. Once i got used to the style, i fell in love with it. The writing in it is absoultely hilarious and the actors all act so well and have great chemistry with one another.

About what you guys said about the show being canceled... weren't there 4 seasons of the show?

I think 3, but they only made about 50 episodes, which is really not a good number in the biz and makes you a targer for cancellation.

Now if they only got to that famed 100 episode...then we would still be watching it.
