- kryptogrowl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Hard to believe this show was cancelled while shows like "Happy Hour" and "Till Death" get a green light.
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18Arrested Development -> automatic digg
- DollaDollaBill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I really think arrested is a show that is growing in popularity on dvd, alot of fans have introduced many people to it that have never seen nor heard of it before. I have been turning people in to ravenous fans a handful at a time. I really thought is was the best show on television in years.
LETS GET IT BACK ON AIR - matperk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19@fletchowns:
As an american, I totally agree with you. Most of the population wants "stupid tv." I, on the other hand, am a big fan of arrested development. - thefirstenemy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16He said some things African-Americany wasn't ready to hear. God bless his tiny little racist heart.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16God just makes me miss arrested more
- fletchowns, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22Seriously. Just because the Americans are too ***** stupid to understand it, and they would rather watch things like American Idol and America's Top Model. ***** GARBAGE.
- Jwoey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I loved the third season, it was exactly what they said it was. I remembering seeing a quote that was like, "We eventually started to turn the show into an inside joke with our loyal fans."
The last 5 or 6 episodes of the series were hilarious.. I loved the episode where they find the Sadam house.
"Take Condoleeza Rice lane!! Its quicker!"
i miss. - d4rthsid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I concur. It would appear that the majority of viewers require a laugh track to know when something is funny. STEVE HOLT!
- thefirelane, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14The best line is from the 3rd season:
Gob: "It's like I have this strange feeling in me" (something like that)
Michael: "Is that feeling love?"
Gob: "I know what an errection feels like Michael!" - Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12:sob: :sob:
I miss this show so much....thank God the DVDs are easy to find and cheap
I hope that one day the executives at Fox say to themselves "I made a huge mistake" - ManInTheBunker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10great show, but really really dumb avatars.
sure, blame the guy in the $7k suit. COME ON! - analisau, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I miss Franklin the most.
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9there's always money in the banana stand...?
- aftk2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It's funny - I agree with you, but I like the third season for that reason.
"Well, I don't think the Home Builder's Assocation is going to be supporting us."
"Yeah, the HBO's not gonna want us. What now?"
"Well, I think it's 'Showtime.' We've gotta have a show, during dinner."
Plus, I think the last three episodes of the show are probably the best three-in-a-row combination they ever aired, with the possible exception of some of the three that aired near the beginning of the second season (the parody of Charlie Brown/Saddam Hussein, Afternoon Delight, and the one where they go to Mexico.)
"What you do...isn't really the best way to make a living."
"I make three hundred grand a year."
"Marry Me! ... That was weird...on so many levels." - jocnnor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Michael: "You could bring a date"
Lucielle: "Who'd want to go into that musty old clap-trap"
Pause. Shot of Michael.
Pause. Shot of Lucielle.
Pause. Back to Michael.
Michael: "Oh, yes. The *cabin.*" - SirRudy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Creative control, spin-off rights and theme park approval for Mr. Banana Grabber, Baby Banana Grabber, and any other Banana Grabber family character that might emanate there from.
I retain animation rights and we go back to single dip. - marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7... here he comes, here comes John Wayne... 'Im not gunna cry about these comments, im gunna build an airport, put ma name on it'. Why lasmith, so you can fly away from your feelings? You can keep them bottled up but they will come out lasmith, sometimes in the most unexpected... Hey... WHERE THE #%&@ ARE MY HARDBOILED EGGS!!!
- CAR7ER, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I read that Scubs would have the entire cast gueststar through the season as they were big fans of AD.
- SirRudy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6He says cocaine in the extended pilot, candy in the broadcast pilot.
- mkameli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"I never should've given up animation rights."
- ejfisher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No, I'd have to say becuase they knew they had so many run ins with almost cancellation, they decided to do whatever they wanted. Yes they were already doing this, but decided to go all out. Especially in the last 4 episodes when they knew for sure they were not coming back. I don't think they were trying hard not to get cancelled. They knew they would, and were making fun of the fact that they were going to get cancelled.
- broly1718, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Why would a banana be grabbing another banana? those are questions i dont want answered."
i wish i had my dvd's with me. i cant remember exactally what michael said. - marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5well, excuuuuuuuuuse me...
... ex-cuse me... - teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6http://duggmirror.com/television/Arrested_Development_Avatars_from_Save_Our_Bluths_S_O_B/
- trutwin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah - you read it here: :)
http://digg.com/television/Arrested_Development_to_Make_a_Return_on_Scrubs - marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4oh man i love this show
LOOSE SEAL!!! - nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4No, the fact that GOB thinks that cocaine makes it better around kids is funnier.
- mkameli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4One of my favorite subtle quotes from the 3rd season is when Michael is telling Lindsay that he has a car for her after all, and she asks something like, "Oh, is it a Volvo?" and he replies, "More like a Lincoln," as in a (Abraham) Lincoln log cabin.
"And watch out for live-ins. [Whispering] You're gonna get some live-ins." - oMeSSiaHo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I dont know why you all are busting on Tobias. After all he was a professional twice over, a therapist and an analyst. The worlds first Analrapist! I remember when he analraped Buster.
- top5design, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Happy Hour has already been put "on hiatus".
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@ejfisher... exactly, like this part when Michael and George are deciding who to invite to the save our bluths..
"well, who should we go for... HBO?"
-"nah, the Home Builders Organisation won't budge... Its Showtime.."
or something along those lines.. feel free to correct me :) - buggzero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I endorse anything about this show.
But I have to agree with ManInTheBunker@
These icons are only fit for livejournals, and you are under 18.
"Are you calling me an armature?
No sir, what I am calling you, is a Television ACTOR!"
"Soooommmmeeewhere over the rainbow... there's another rainbow" - theImposs1ble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i love arrested development,
but are you blaming americans for creating a show, not watching it and being stupid all at the same time?
thats quite a broad generalization of americans considering a small percentage of us are some of the biggest media connoisseurs that have access to better movies and television than 90% of the rest of the world.
the only ones even close are england then India. - steger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Mister F.
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3COME ON!
- Animal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3To continue the fun quote comments:
Tobias: Although, perhaps I should call the 'hot cops' and tell them to come up with something more nautically themed. 'Hot sailors' or 'hot sea m.'
Michael: I like 'hot sailors.'
Tobias: Mmm, me too. - mkameli, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4"How ARE you?"
- mexter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No, it was "A trick is something a whore does for money... or CANDY."
- calhoun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The quote's better as
"It's an illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money....or candy."
because of all the little kids around. - lebe0024, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure the actual quote is "A trick is something a whore does for money....FOR cocaine."
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ mkameli
haha, i totally missed that! i love finding new laughs with this show.
:D - nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Its a Midas Touch. Everything he does is gold, its just it can't stay afloat. Gold after all is denser than water, which is probably what TV executives' heads are filled with..
- Drhilarius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just to add to the comments...
Michael: We need to go to the rehab clinic and pick up mom.
GOB: Great, I didn't think the woman I'd be picking up on spring break would be my own mother.
Buster:She's better looking than the whores you go out with.
GOB: Don't call my escorts whores.
Buster: Mom still has a lot...
GOB: I DON'T DATE WHORES!
Lindsay:This objectification of women has to stop.
Michael: Just talkin' about mom and whores.
man, I miss that show. - WeeklyGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I love arrested development but jesus those avatars suck.
- marksy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2hah,. ZING!!
- matperk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@theimposs1ble:
No. Merely stating that a small group of Americans created it and watched it. That small percentage is what caused it to be cancelled. - mkameli, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm starting to think Paul Feig is cursed. Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, and he directed many Arrested Development episodes. Sadness.
- Lordrust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sites down!
- Knives, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Michael: Well, you certainly haven't been shopping. The only thing I found in the fridge was a dead dove in a bag.
Gob: You didn't eat that, did you? -
