Arrested Development Thread

Anyone know any torrent sites to get teh series?

This show is pure gold.

First Firefly, then AD. I fucking hate Fox :annoy:

A while ago when the Saddam execution video was released, I kept imagining him going: “I’m no scar! I’m no scar… DOT COM!!!” right before he was dropped :rofl:

Welcome back analrapist avatar.

Found out about the show just last year, just before the third season release. The series is pure genius and I watch an episode at least once a day, prior to bed, to tuck me in. The plot is intricate, convoluted and refreshing, cast is pretty much perfect (well, don’t care too much for Michael Cera), the writing is sick, Will Arnett’s the fucking MAN…I could go on and on about this show.

Yes, the show’s cancellation was a travesty and it is indeed Fox’s fault the show failed to find an audience – well, Fox and the show’s completely esoteric and intertextual writing, to be fair.

Just like Family Guy, I never got a chance to watch the show in syndication, because Fox was flipping its schedule pretty much every damn week. They also advertised the show horribly – it was impossible to tell what the show was actually about from their commercials. Luckily, the show looked unique enough to always keep me chasing it. I’m glad I finally caught up to it.

Glad to see someone else has became a fan, but I can’t believe you are hating on Cera. The awardness of George Michael is portrayed perfectly by him, so organic, hard to tell if he is acting or not.

Anyway, to the people mentioning downloading the episodes, stop being buy-curious and just make the purchase. You won’t be making a huge mistake.

Don’t get me wrong, Cera does a fantastic job. He just doesn’t project the kind of charisma the rest of the cast does and he seems quite limited in his acting abilities (how much you wanna bet this kid falls off for at least a while after this?).

He pulls the bewildered Keanu persona better than anyone else I’ve seen, but it makes him much more one-dimensional than I’d like. He’s great for AD, he just doesn’t resonate with me personally.

Michael " you tell GOB I got a nice hard cot for him!"
Lucille " you’d do that to your own brother?“
Michael " I said COT.”

“If you like the small, why don’t you come back for the medium!”

high five

The ending to the righteous brothers is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on televison. I love how Gob lunges his face forward right at the end. Just brilliant.

LMFAOO. Man I need to get season 1. The closest thing we have to Arrested on TV now is the Office…I’m damn surprised it’s doing so well.

when GM wants to stay in the car after almost kissing maeby

“i tihnk ill stay here and watch that famous reno sunset”

you might say i’m buy-curiuos…

With the sun behind him with the mirror assist so it will be closer. I take it that he didn’t want to leave because he had a boner but they left room for interpretation with that one.
Can’t blame him, even if she is family, Maeby would get it …And maybe thats very, very right.

They need to make the slut shirt. I would buy that with the quickness. Did a quick search in the series of tubes and turned up empty.
I wish I could make it myself, but without the shiny text, it does me no good.

Tobias: “Why am I not going under water? Dear God! Why am I not going under water?”

Maebe getting her mom to wear that shemale shirt killed me.:rofl: :lol:

I bought season 2 today and watched it all in one sitting. I wish this show was still on air.

Gob: "No Michael… that wasn’t my trick."
Michael: :wow:

On the next episode!

Gob: “THAT WAS MY ILLUSION!!!”

The tobias av representation warms my heart.

If only you knew…

Yep… the writers must have enjoyed cramming so much into that man.

/\ OMG!!!

So what do you think the writers meant with this?
