Arrested Development

[Andy]

If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because I just bought the Arrested Development DVDs of the first season.

Oh, how I love this show.  Can't wait to relive the first season.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I missed a few early ones along the way.

I got it for Christmas- i've already watched each one twice.  The extended pilot is pretty good, with some unbleeped swears that catch you offguard at first.

Also, am I the only one worried about what the Martin Short character will do to the show if he stays on for an extended amount of time?  They've taken some bigger names before (Liza, Elaine Benes) and have worked them in well.  It appears to me that Short's "Jack Dorso" is a little too over the top and creepy to fit in with the show's understated wit.

"Oh Tobias, you blow hard!"

"Arrested Development" has done the unthinkable for me.

It's made me not hate Jason Bateman.  In fact, I find him downright likeable.

What a good show.

Yeah I picked up the DVD's a while back and have watched them a bunch of times.

I really think Arrested Development might be the best show on television right now.

It also might be on it's last legs. It's production schedule I heard was cut from 22 episodes to like 16. Which is a pre-cursor to being canceled.

The reason's being that it is supposedly a hard show to sit down for 1 episode and understand what is going on. You need a few to get in the flow. And that it suffers from no lead in show that really compares with it. Like that has stopped Fox before, by putting trading spouses in front of "24", lol.

Disc 3, choose deleted scenes, select any episode, arrow over right to David Cross and hit enter.  You won't be sorry.  Or maybe you will.

Brilliant show. Love Ron Howard's narration...there was one episode where they even worked in an "Opie" joke...

[Clark and Addison]

I simply cannot get enough of Buster Bluth!

It is horrible that this show is on life support.

I think I heard something a little different.  I heard it was getting scaled down to 16 episodes to make room for American Dad.  Then again, it wouldn't suprise me to see Fox cancel a good show *cough* Family Guy *cough*

Winning the "Best Comedy" Emmy is all that saved this show's ass last year...

If Fox is dumb enough to cancel "Arrested Development" (the only funny non-cartoon they have left), you would think NBC would pick it up.  They need good shows.  Maybe they can make it Law and Order: San Quentin?

Fox will cancel it, and replace it with a 4th night of American Idol.  Stupid bastards.  I'm still bitter that they took "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" off the air.  Pair that up with Arrested Development and you'd have the funniest hour of TV ever.

I thought "Greg The Bunny" was the goods.

I loved the shot Arrested Development took at Fox this week.  That was classic.

Which one? They've taken so many...

My favorite was Tobais' "DRHOUSE" license plate...
