It's quite a rarity to have a TV show resurrected.

QUOTE(▲▲▲ @ Oct 3 2011, 01:08 AM)  My mind cannot process this without getting giddy and dancing around my bedroom. The greatest comedy of all time is coming back? Not just for a movie? For a mini-series and a fucking movie? DEAD. I JUST BLUE MYSELF THINKING ABOUT THIS. PREMATURELY SHOT MY WAD IF YOU WILL. Totally get this now, at first I was like WAT. Tobias is killin me. SUCH a good character. |

On the back of Ryan and Jake watching this (true televisual barometers for the Buzzbatarian masses) I started watching this and after 5 episodes it's possibly one of the worst television programmes I have ever seen. Truly awful. I am shocked at its popularity here *_*

It's unusually absurd and garish but subtle, too. An odd contrast. I just love how every episode was so on point and the calibre of writing really hasn't been matched since it finished. I can watch one episode and have a completely different experience each time because there are so many obscure references that take numerous viewings to even notice. It was just ingenious. |

Stick with it Jake! Though if you're not finding it funny by episode 5 I dunno
 I do need someone to quote this in real life to though so keep watching it. Nene makes a cameo in episode 6 maybe...???

QUOTE What made Arrested Development a great show, rather than an 'interesting' one, is that for all its allusiveness and dense self-reference, it was a strong example of a classically-structured sitcom as well. The characters were set up as sitcom types, and the elders' performances - in the roles of George, Oscar, Lucille, Lucille II, Stan Sitwell, Barry Zuckerkorn, etc. - were in a familiar sitcom style, however beautifully performed. (Jeffrey Tambor, in particular, brought a startling humanity and pathos to his work as George/Oscar, quickly outgrowing the broad material he was given in the early series.) The point here is only that Arrested Development, like Seinfeld and The Simpsons, was a well-executed example of a familiar comedy type as well as a formal advance for the sitcom. Seinfeld's circular plotting and moral chilliness, The Simpsons's visual density and deep self-referentiality, and Arrested Development's pomo involution and formal ingenuity would all be forgotten were it not for their familiar comic modes - Lampoon-style WASP magazine-minicomedy in the cartoon's case, Borscht Belt stage theatrics for the thoroughly Jewish live-action shows. Arrested Development is the end of a developmental line that includes both the two earlier sitcoms. In other words, your grandparents couldn't have loved Arrested Development the way you do, ya hip 21st-century white kid - too much rides on form and style - just the jokes themselves are old, old, old. This is a far better explanation than anything I can come up with. You could say Modern Family was the next show on that developmental line - just in an overly American, less funny and mainstream way. This post has been edited by ▲▲▲: 13th December 2011, 04:00 AM |

I do not know. I didn't find the first few episodes of season one particularly engaging or funny. It got much better through the season and I like the recurring jokes too.
What else do you think I might like Ryan? First 'Mad Men' now this. !!! |

The new season of Arrested Development has entered pre-production, it has been confirmed.
It was announced last year that the axed Fox comedy will return for ten new episodes on Netflix, with a feature film to follow. "We're really doing this thing," confirmed co-executive producer Dean Lorey on his blog. "[Series creator] Mitch Hurwitz, [writer] Jim Valley and I are off writing the new season of Arrested to premiere on Netflix in 2013." He continued: "The original cast is back. There are offices and parking spaces. We're shooting this year. I wish I could give more specifics but, for the moment, even the schedule is being kept under wraps." David Cross, who played Tobias Fünke, previously announced that the entire Arrested Development cast - including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera and Will Arnett - were "verbally committed" to the reunion. "No-one wants to be the asshole who ruins it for everyone else," he said. "But no-one doesn't want to do it, everyone's excited." Executive producer Ron Howard, who also narrated the original series, has described the concept for the new episodes as "pretty hilarious" and "outrageous". "I think [Mitch has] got some hilarious idea about where these characters are in the world now, four or five years later, what they've been up to, what their frame of mind is now, and how they relate to each other," he said earlier this month.
