Arrested Development

[Ozymandias]

GOB's chicken dance has to be the funniest thing I've ever seen on tv. "Chicken's don't clap!"

that whole sequence where everyone is doing their own version is great. i particularly liked lindsay's.

They're all so wrong, but parts of it are right. One has the sound, one has the head flap, one has the leg movements, put them all together and you get a real chicken dance. If they make a movie they better have at least one GOB chicken dance, anything less would be a fail

As much as that show revolved around the constant evolution and representation of jokes, I can't imagine a movie wouldn't have GOB do it at least once.

Remember Gobias Industries?

Those were the days, man.

I like the episodes with james lipton as the prison warden who lets tobias go to jail to research playing the role of "frightened inmate # 2"
White power Bill cracks me up

[jayson]

White power Bill cracks me up

the scene where white power bill stabs gob is one of the funniest moments ever.

White Power Bill: (stabbing GOB) "White Power!"

GOB: "But... I'm white"

[idk, my bff jill?]

I'm just going to leave these here.







And these...









And of course:

[jayson]

those are awesome paula!!!

i especially love the one of maggie and tobias. that whole scene was played perfectly like only david cross and julia louis-dreyfus could have done. two absolute comedic geniuses.

[flaggwalkstheline]

copying the gobias industries pic to see if I can sig it!

[AIMB]

season one and two are for sale at wal mart in a package for 20$

It's been stolen from me twice already, this time no one's getting it unless it's from my cold dead hands!

[jayson]

nobody gets my ad dvd's. if they want to see it, they can come over and watch it with me.

[AIMB]

well your the smart one, i had to learn the hard way i guess

[jayson]

not so much. i only learned that lesson after my simpsons season 6 went awol with a former friend never to return. now, fuck that. i'm not netflix. you want to watch it at your house, get it from them. you want my copy, either it comes to your house with me, or you watch it here. those are the options.

Lucille Bluth: "Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant....It makes me want to set myself on fire."

[Still Servant]

Thought I'd dig this thread up after 3 years since we are nearing the improbable start of a new season.

Anybody else excited?

[Ka-mai]

I think "cautiously optimistic" is my mindset.

When AD was on the air, I assumed that everyone else watched it, too. For a year or so afterward, I got to go around with "You mean you've never seen Arrested Development?!"
I guess I was not the only one... word got out.

Yeah, so true. I remember watching AD and telling all my friends how great it was and that they should watch it. They looked at me like I was crazy because they had never even heard of it. Those same friends all caught up with the show on Netflix years after the show was cancelled. They all loved it too. Kind of infuriates me.

[Girlystevedave]

Any time I make an Arrested Development reference around someone other than family, people are like "Whaaat? No, I've never seen that show."

[Girlystevedave]

My family always uses the "And that's why we don't [fill in the blank]" quote.

So are you going to watch them all in one weekend marathon, or try and watch it spread out. I have to borrow my friends Netflix account to watch. I think that once I get started i will want more and wont be able to stop. I too watched it religiously once it came out on fox. Then watched it again on DVD with my wife since she never saw the original airings.

[Mattrick]

Me and my friend are probably going to watch an hour or so each time we drink. Tonight we'll probably watch four.

[Still Servant]

I have to stretch them out. It makes it more special. I also have tons of other things to catch up on, so it's not like I don't have other things to watch.

[cit74]

I got the 1 month free Netflix trial - so I'll at least finish in next few weeks

[pathoftheturtle]

I finally got to the Gob episode yesterday. (Season 4 number 7, "Colony Collapse.") It is so dense with plot! A couple minutes longer than previous episodes, but still... I keep thinking back and marvelling at how many things happened to Gob in this single episode. They have been getting increasingly hilarious. The Tobias episode (ANUSTART) was pretty damn funny.
<< Loving AD all over again.

I started it last night, but a few min in realized I had no memory of how the last season ended. I might have to go back and watch a few of the last eps now before I jump into the new season.
