Arrested Development

I've seen plenty of iPads playing this show on the airplane, but I've never caught the bug.

I have been waiting a very long time for this. Can't wait! Last I heard they were doing a season on Netflix and doing a movie finale. Does anyone know if that is still planned?

I wonder if they will have the office of Bob Lob Law in the new ones. (If you don't know the show, read the name Bob Lob Law' out loud and you will get a hint at the humor in the show). Good stuff.

Yeah, apparently both Baio (Loblaw) and Winkler (Zuckerkorn) were part of the season 4 filming. Years later and I still crack myself up thinking about "Bob Loblaw's Law Blog".

Also: Tobias Funke, the world's first "Analrapist".

I've been watching back through the episodes with a friend and have to finish season 3 before I will start on 4 and its killing me knowing its right there to watch

Already on Episode 2! :D

Awesome!!! Without any spoilers, how was it?

I am starting my Netflix free trial just for this.

I am currently disliking both of you and everyone else with Netflix access ( <3 )
I'll be in the States in four months. I live in hope that one of my dear, loving friends will let me plop down in front of a Netflix-equipped TV for eight hours straight. Maybe said friend will even feed me!

But if your friend is also an AD fan, you'll get nothing but frozen bananas and wine!

I have no problem with that.

Arrested Development was one of those insanely good shows that unfortunately, just didn't have enough of a fan base and got cancelled.

Correction: Arrested Development was an "insanely" good show that, unfortunately, was too witty for most audiences to enjoy.

It's a worthy return indeed. The actors bounced back into their roles well and already some laugh out loud moments. Definitely worth it!

I wish I could proclaim this capricious resurrection of AD as a "worthy return", but unfortunately for me it's not. Perhaps it's my long disconnection with the show or maybe the drastic change in the narration, but something does not bode well with me. I also noticed that the show practically dumb-downed the fast pace wittiness that I previously loved, but I can understand this since they need to it wind-it-down towards a more respectable end.

Regardless of my disappointment I implore all AD fans to watch this. It's only right to stick by an old friend as they begin to take it's final bow before the curtain falls.

Yes I'm going to watch. Very excited. Yet another show that never should've been canceled. Can't believe it's taken this long to come back though. Hoping to find a cable channel that's replaying all the old ones in order...

Ive made the biggest little mistake of my life and watched the whole season in 1 day...so much for savoring it. Now wheres that bottle of forget-me-nows?
