Arrested Development

[pooteeweet]

No... The title had two first names in it, a la "Bill and Ted's Great Adventure" or "Whosit and Miri Make a Porno."

Actually, I'm going to go track it down via David Cross's IMDb profile.

....
....
....Holy shit! There's going to be an Arrested Development movie next year! (maybe.)
....Haha oh yeah he was the voice of Crane in Kung Fu Panda!
....He was in ATHF? And Family Guy. Huh.

....Aha! Martin & Orloff is the name of the movie. IMDb rates it 6.8 out of 10 stars.

I've been watching on Hulu, and am about half way through season 2,
I can't help thinking it makes a decent metaphor for America's current economic situation. In theory there's a change in power, but no one seems to want to cooperate, let alone change things.

Is anyone else sort of confused by the show's continuity?
The "next time" clips are, at least for the first season, half serious, but there's also stuff that seems to get forgotten about for a while. Like Tobias's stay in prison gets interrupted for two episodes, and doesn't seem to get resolved.

Just... don't worry about the continuity. Most of the "Next time" stuff isn't meant to be taken seriously or plot-relevant, I think.

I feel guilty, because during the show's original run, I didn't fully understand it, and didn't watch it. I didn't realize how great it was until I saw the series syndicated on CBC. I can't help but think that I'm single-handedly responsible for the show being canceled.

make sure after you finish watching them all that you watch them at least 2 or 3 more times it gets funnier almost every time through

[PhantomPhanatic]

Yeah, I didn't notice that in Motherboy XXX, Henry Winkler literally jumps the shark until my second time watching. Hilarity ensued.

[cephalopod9]

Oh my gosh, I just realized Tobias is Yivo.

Yeah, except for when it is.
And pretty much everyone who isn't in the opening credits sort of disapears and reappears between episodes.

[Mathmagic]

Hell yeah!

The Arrested Development movie has been officially announced and in production!

EDIT: Obviously, this is semi-old news, but it hadn't been really recognized in these parts yet.

[Stabable Offense]

Amazing. Last I had heard Cera was still the last hold I had been meaning to check again soon what the deal was.

[cephalopod9]

Just finished season three.
You know, it's really too bad the show didn't run a year or two later so it could have intersected with stuff like The Guild, "webisodes" like the Office has, and Hulu. The more I think about, while it's a good show, it seems like something really hard to sell as t.v.

Resurrecting this because apparently Mitch Hurwitz said today at a cast reunion that there will be 9-10 TV episodes catching up with the characters before they do a film.

I am trying to keep from getting my hopes up, but it's not working very well. I am especially excited about the rumored plot of the movie.

Spoiler:

Ron Howard is making a movie about the Bluths using an A-List cast. But Dr. Tobias plays himself because nobody wants to play him in the movie. The Bluths decide to make their own movie in contention with Ron Howard’s.

I know, it sounds like it has the potential to be a masterpiece.
