I can't believe Fox renews crap like "The Simple Life" with retard Paris Hilton and
lets this gem go. I will be TiVo-ing the finale for sure.

[furie]

the way fox mishandles airing shows, it's amazing it has lasted as a network this long

[JustJon]

I like how they tied up every plot line in that last episode.&nbsp; And the meta-ending with Maebe meeting with Ron Howard was great.&nbsp; I love that show.&nbsp; It's too bad it's ending (for now).<br />

[curtoid]

<p>So many great things in those last four episodes - the tyinig up of most of the story lines (still no real resolution about Oscar being Buster's father!), the sort of fulfilling of a joking promise about adding Justine Bateman as a love interest on the show, the inside jokes (George Michael telling his father he's been in love with his cousin for &quot;53 weeks&quot;!) the reference about the lack of details on televison shows (followed by visuals of people opening empty cabinats to just get the most random stuff), the return of &quot;Hello&quot; and the epilogue with Ron Howard - too damn brilliant for network television! Or American television!</p><p>If it never gets picked up by anyone, they wrapped it up perfectly - if it does, it put a nice ending on this era and a great set up for more stories. This will go down as a really great American sit-com, but really before it's time. It's like &quot;Twin Peaks,&quot; which somehow made it through a season +7 - years later you see the whole &quot;Peaks&quot; vibe getting copped by &quot;Northern Exposure,&quot; &quot;X-Files&quot; and anything remotely &quot;quirky&quot; with snappy writing. Hell, &quot;24&quot; owes itself to &quot;Murder One&quot; which certainly was helped by &quot;Peaks.&quot;</p><p>Years from now another show will become the biggest hit ever, and it will essentially be a rehash of what they accomplished on &quot;Arrested Development.&quot; </p><p><img height="400" src="http://us.tv1.yimg.com/tv.yahoo.com/images/he/photo/tv_pix/fox/arrested_development/_group_photos/alia_shawkat3.jpg" width="289" border="0" /></p><p>I am really going to miss that show and those characters and those actors. One less night of television to worry about, tho.</p>

Hey....actually rumors/news about the Arrested Development TV show!

Apparently Jason Bateman has reached out to Mitch Hurwitz about developing a movie of the Bluth movie after the end of the writers strike.

Link here. (http://www.fox23news.com/entertainment/story.aspx?content_id=71c8be4a-2a23-4881-bbc5-5b3cb3f33868)

Second link here. (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2007/12/06/jason-bateman-refuels-hope-for-arrested-development-movie/)

I think I just got wood.

[cupcakelove]

That's great, as long as they can get the same writers. I'm more worried about that than the same actors. Except for David Cross, he's gotta be there.

[WampusCrandle]

david cross is awesome - he is great in everything he is in! i really liked him Mr. Show, that was a great show. does anyone know what the movie's plot will be about,l if it happens?

That's a great deal. If I didn't already have all three seasons, I would jump at that.

[LiddyRules]

Unfortunately sold out.

[Brad_Rush]

I've been re-watching all the old episodes on hulu.com. All three seasons are up and without a whole lot of commercials.

Man this was a great show...

[mikeyboy]

I hope they do a good job with the movie.

[LaBoob]

Hell yeah this show was amazing... I rewatch them over and over and keep finding little things I never saw before.

[Brad_Rush]

I hope they do a good job with the movie.

At the very least it will be nice to see the cast and characters again.

[K.C.]

I hope they do a good job with the movie.

I think they will...the best thing about the end of the show was that they looped back to pretty much same point they were in the pilot, except everything was reversed

It was like a bizarro world Atari game.


They have a ton of potential storylines to draw from.

[Doctor Manhattan]

I hope they do a good job with the movie.

This has been around for a while, but I get a kick out of it, so there.

[Doogie]

I love that fucking poster...you see Tobias in his 'never nude' shorts...hilarious!!

:clap:

[Freakshow]

I've been re-watching all the old episodes on hulu.com. All three seasons are up and without a whole lot of commercials.

Man this was a great show...

I've been watching them daily on HDNet. Looks great in HD.

[JustJon]

I've been watching them daily on HDNet. Looks great in HD.

My TiVo has been recording these because I gave it thumbs up when I was recording them, so I've been rewatching them. Still so damn good.

[mikeyboy]

I need to get Season 1 back from my parents because I want to start re-watching them in order.

[DolaMight]

I've been watching them daily on HDNet. Looks great in HD.

when they on HDNET?

[Freakshow]

Looks like 12:30pm . I have the dvr set up to record them--no more TiVo for me since going to DirecTV hi-def.

[NewYorkDragons80]

I hope they do a good job with the movie.
From the looks of things, EVERYBODY is on board for the movie; actors, writers, producers, etc. I can't see how they would drop the ball on this one. You know they had plans for the Bluths beyond season 3. I am beyond pumped for this.

[JPMNICK]

when does the movie come out?

[Furtherman]

All this talk had inspired me to buy the complete series. Look forward to getting into it.

[EliSnow]

Entertainment Weekly is finally reporting what Ron and Fez found out months ago -- Arrested Development movie is in the works (http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2008/06/jeffrey-tambor.html).

[commish13]

A couple months ago I spent a bunch of time just watching the entire series on Hulu. Sucks I never got into it when it was actually on (although to be fair, the commercials made it look like shit), but I did love that I didn't have to wait to see what happened next.

[cogsdoc]

I too regret not seeing it when it originally aired, and am in the middle of watching season 2 right now. I've just decided it is impossible to judge whether a new show is worth my time or not, so I just wait till the first season or two airs and let Netflix be my savior.

[K.C.]

So once again Michael made another compromise of his values

Whatever happened to that Ann? Yeah, she's the girl for us...

[TheMojoPin]

I've just decided it is impossible to judge whether a new show is worth my time or not, so I just wait till the first season or two airs and let Netflix be my savior.

I'm the same way. I don't want to waste my time investing in a new show and it turns out to be shit. There's aways something else to watch or do in the meantime. Bes tof all, when I jump on after the fact, that means there's at least a whole season's worth of episodes to watch in one go.

[hammersavage]

Who? Oh yes, Annabell...

Yes but its reason's like that that good new shows get canceled. If you wait til DVD to watch them and they get no ratings i.e. AD.

[K.C.]

Who? Oh yes, Annabell...

It's so cute, she will sometimes take a hard boiled egg and put it in her mouth, then she'll take a pack of mayonnaise and squeeze it in her mouth. She calls it a "mayonegg".

[Tall_James]

For some reason I have never seen a single episode of this show.

I think I need to take it out from the library ASAP.

[TheMojoPin]

Yes but its reason's like that that good new shows get canceled. If you wait til DVD to watch them and they get no ratings i.e. AD.

Does it matter if I watch? It's not like I'm a Nielson Family.

You're more "Manson" family.

[TheGameHHH]

I've never seen an episode of this show but about 20 minutes ago I went out to blockbuster and rented the first disc of season one on DVD.

ive heard nothing but great things about this show and apparently its a crime it got canceled. so in honor of this thread im about to become an avid watcher.

[IWOWedGregBrady]

As smart as it is to wait for a script and all...that's not the reaction I was hoping for from him.

That's great, as long as they can get the same writers. I'm more worried about that than the same actors. Except for David Cross, he's gotta be there.

I hope that in a year's time you've come to your senses and realize that every actor on that show was brilliant! Can't imagine any of them being replaced!

A couple months ago I spent a bunch of time just watching the entire series on Hulu. Sucks I never got into it when it was actually on (although to be fair, the commercials made it look like shit), but I did love that I didn't have to wait to see what happened next.

I got into it during the second season...let me tell you, it got so painful during the third season, holding out hope that it would be picked up by some other channel. The whole art-imitates-life elements in those final few episodes...again, just brilliant. Painfully brilliant.

That's why I understand Cera's apprehension. They did such a great job wrapping everything up. Yeah, it sucks it got cancelled when it did, but it really ends functioning brilliantly as a finite series.

[IWOWedGregBrady]

Very true.

Sigh

[Slumbag]

That's why I understand Cera's apprehension. They did such a great job wrapping everything up. Yeah, it sucks it got cancelled when it did, but it really ends functioning brilliantly as a finite series.

But what else does he have lined up?
Is he gonna play another sixteen year old kid in some movie no one wants to see?
I think he should trust the writers. They always pumped out good stuff, and he should have faith, seeing that they basically made his career.

[TheMojoPin]

But what else does he have lined up?
Is he gonna play another sixteen year old kid in some movie no one wants to see?

Seriously? He's the only one from the show getting high profile starring roles. His movies are succeeding and he has a rep as a bankable and likeable rising star.

I think he should trust the writers. They always pumped out good stuff, and he should have faith, seeing that they basically made his career.

If it sucks, it sucks, and there's a good chance this will suck. Maybe the "moment" of that show has just passed on. It was wrapped up pretty well and it would be pretty easy for the whole thing to seem forced. Plus, it succeeded as being an ongoing, 22-minute-a-week TV show, not a movie. That's a whole different beast.

He's not saying he won't do it...he just wants to see the script before he says "yes."

[Slumbag]

Seriously? He's the only one from the show getting high profile starring roles. His movies are succeeding and he has a rep as a bankable and likeable rising star.
I actually like his movies. Superbad was funny as hell, and he was good in Juno, despite it being atroucious.

But he's quickly getting typecast as "16 yo, awkward kid".

I think I've figured out the TV movie scene.
They'll basically take 4 shows with an arch, and turn it into one giant episode.
I think if they get any script input from Ron Howard, that guy knows how to tell a story.

[TonyStark]

He's gotta sign on for this. Pay respects to your roots and what got you famous man! Plus with that writing and directing team, it's going to be quite quality.

[weekapaugjz]

Looks like I am going to be having a marathon tonight at work watching my copies thanks to this thread. I loved this show.

[Slumbag]

He's gotta sign on for this. Pay respects to your roots and what got you famous man! Plus with that writing and directing team, it's going to be quite quality.

According to Jeff Tambor, he's in.
http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/01/29/2009-01-29_arrested_development_movie_is_on_.html

Michael Cera will do the highly debated “Arrested Development” movie, according to his on-screen granddad, Jeffrey Tambor.

“If I have to call him up and say, ‘Get on set right now, young man,’ he’ll be there,” the comic said . “The movie is going to happen this year, and Michael Cera is on board. Trust me.”

[TonyStark]

I read the Tambor story this morning. I really hope this is the truth and I think that's probably pretty accurate. I'm pumped to see that they are going to bring this one to the head of the pack.

[pittphantoms]

I just finished watching this masterpiece on DVD ... I am sorry I didnt see this when it was on - because it was AWESOME.

How do they cancel a show like this? I can only assume the cast was really expensive - but the rest of the costs had to be minimal.

Anyway - if you havent seen this - there is no better reason to have Netflix.

[hammersavage]

Cuz I made up about .1% of their viewership. Very lowly rated.

I said at the time I wasn't upset it was canceled because it never hit a creative dry patch and will forever be perfect in my mind. Usually, even the greatest things hang around too long.

I am cautiously optimistic about the movie for that reason.

[TheGameHHH]

Anyway - if you havent seen this - there is no better reason to go to Hulu and watch the entire season for free.

fixed that one for ya

[Slumbag]

Cuz I made up about .1% of their viewership. Very lowly rated.


I was working a 5-10 schedule when it was on. I tried to set my VCR to record it, and FOX would just show it on different nights of the week, without saying they were changing the schedule. It became so hard to find, by the third season, I had given up looking for it.



Man, that VCR shit makes me feel old.

[NewYorkDragons80]

Aaaaaaand, confirmation!!! (http://blastmagazine.com/the-magazine/entertainment/2009/02/cera-caves-full-cast-in-for-arrested-development-movie/)

Michael Cera, the final piece of the “Arrested Development” movie puzzle, has agreed to star in the film, E! Online reported yesterday.

I still think the whole holdout thing was a clever ruse to make Cera seem "hollywood" given his recent success.

[Reynolds]

I just finished watching this masterpiece on DVD ... I am sorry I didnt see this when it was on - because it was AWESOME.

I think the above statement

How do they cancel a show like this? I can only assume the cast was really expensive - but the rest of the costs had to be minimal.




Answers this question.

Jason Bateman talks Arrested Development (http://www.collider.com/2009/09/22/jason-bateman-talks-hancock-2-arrested-development-and-reveals-what-he-got-as-wrap-gift-on-paul/)(and Hancock 2? Really?):

What’s up with “Arrested Development”?

It’s still being written and my guess would be we’ll do it sometime next year. My fingers are crossed.

So what’s your expectations?

I would assume it’s not going to be anything more than a long episode. I don’t think there’s any need to go further than that. I think it might be wrong to. Hopefully, people will be willing to pay money to see what will amount to be three or four new episodes all stuck together as one long one. I don’t know. Hopefully interest has not waned cause selfishly we all want to get back together and do it again. So hopefully there will be enough people to see it to break even.

[grlNIN]

Yeah, give me a call when the fuckin' thing is ACTUALLY going to be made & released-not bullshitted about.

[fezident]

David Cross was on The Adam Carolla Podcast a few weeks ago and he also confirmed that the players have agreed to do it, and that the script is being written. Other than that, had no details except to say that everybody involved "won't believe it until they're actually watching it on the big screen."

[benjamin]

This is the best news I've heard all month!

IFC Acquires ‘Arrested Development' From Twentieth Television

IFC has acquired the cable rights to all three seasons (53 episodes) of Twentieth Television's Arrested Development. The series garnered critical acclaim and a cult following on Fox from 2003-2006, but was canceled due to disappointing ratings.
Comcast owned cable network G4 was the first network to acquire the cable rights to the series in July 2006.

Arrested is the second major acquisition for IFC in October. The network picked up the complete series of Monty Python's Flying Circus earlier, to go along with its six-hour documentary about the legendary British comedy troupe.

"Arrested Development is one of the smartest and funniest shows of the last decade with a hilarious presentation of absurd family dysfunction," said Jennifer Caserta, executive VP/General Manager of IFC. "It's a perfect fit for IFC, which viewers recognize as an authority on what's new, next and relevant in television, film, music, gaming and online, and, more recently, comedy."

IFC will televise Arrested Development Sundays at 10 and 10:30 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

IFC Acquires ‘Arrested Development' From Twentieth Television

IFC has acquired the cable rights to all three seasons (53 episodes) of Twentieth Television's Arrested Development. The series garnered critical acclaim and a cult following on Fox from 2003-2006, but was canceled due to disappointing ratings.
Comcast owned cable network G4 was the first network to acquire the cable rights to the series in July 2006.

Arrested is the second major acquisition for IFC in October. The network picked up the complete series of Monty Python's Flying Circus earlier, to go along with its six-hour documentary about the legendary British comedy troupe.

"Arrested Development is one of the smartest and funniest shows of the last decade with a hilarious presentation of absurd family dysfunction," said Jennifer Caserta, executive VP/General Manager of IFC. "It's a perfect fit for IFC, which viewers recognize as an authority on what's new, next and relevant in television, film, music, gaming and online, and, more recently, comedy."

She looks almost exactly like she did on AD, only with weird hair.

Maybe when she was playing the dying girl. But for a couple of years there she was gorgeous.

Or even Running Wilde, if you can find it. It's been temporarily pulled from the schedule.

No matter what she does with her hair, she always has that leopard skin to contend with. Sad.

Well if we're going to bump the thread, we need the obligatory movie update post.
