On The Next...Arrested Development

zimfan

Now the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

The show with the running gags, witty jokes, great actors, and references high and low. This thread might contain spoilers for those who haven't seen this show, but if you haven't you're a heathen anyway so...

The Cast: Michael Bluth-is the second oldest Bluth son, and the father of George Michael Bluth.
Lindsay Bluth Fünke-is the

Spoiler:

adopted

daughter of George Sr. and Lucille, but is ostensibly Michael's twin sister.
George Oscar Bluth, Jr., called G.O.B.-is the eldest Bluth son and the father of Steve Holt.
Byron "Buster" Bluth-the youngest son of George Sr. and Lucille

Spoiler:

although he is actually the son of Oscar

George Michael Bluth -called George Michael, is the young teenage son of Michael Bluth.
Mae "Maeby" Fünke -is the teenage daughter of Lindsay and Tobias.
Tobias Fünke-is the husband of Lindsay Bluth and the father of Maeby Fünke.
George Oscar Bluth, Sr., called "Poppop" by his grandchildren-is the head of the Bluth family and the husband of Lucille Bluth.
Lucille Bluth-is the mother of G.O.B., Michael, Buster, and the adopted Lindsay and Hel-loh "Annyong" Bluth, as well as wife to George Sr.

And let's not forget: Narrator, Ann Veal (or Bland), Barry Zuckerkorn (the attorney), Kitty "Say Good-Bye to These" Sanchez, Lucille Austero (Lucille 2), Lupe (the housekeeper), Oscar Bluth (Bluth Sr.'s Identical Twin), Steve Holt, Bob Loblaw, Hel-loh "Annyong" Bluth, and so many more Quirky minor characters

Let us discuss one of the best comedy's of all time and how we all yearn to own The Man Inside Me.

Also discuss what you think what will become of the movie

(suggestions for the OP greatly appreciated)

I love the music they play every time Oscar hints at him being Buster's dad

also Ice the Bounty Hunter is scary

WicketW.Warrick

I hope the movie comes out this year. I mean it's a comedy it shouldn't take to long to shoot and post-produce, right. Although with this show you don't know, they might do something CRAZY.

Betelgeuse

But how am I going to get him in that musty old claptrap?



............................. Oh, you're talking about the cabin.






AD is the best show that ever was.

Sal

Didn't Michael Cera say he didn't want to do a movie? I really hope that's not true.

zimfan

Yup

I have yet to get my friends into this show, I think it's because the first episode is kind of slow and you need to really get to know the characters a bit more before it becomes AWESOME

Betelgeuse

Apparently he is the last cast member that they are trying to lock down for the movie. George Michael thinks he is too big for his britches now apparently.

That only says that he hasn't signed, not that he doesn't want to do the movie

zimfan

well yeah I meant at the moment

Dog

All they need to do is find another awkward teenage boy to not act and bam he is replaced.



Alternatively, they should get George Michael to play George Michael.

Butters

Or Boy George. Not like there's much of a difference.

YaYa

I'm going to personally find Michael Cera and beat the shit out of him

wait no

I'm gonna wait for him to do a terrible job in Scott Pilgrim and then beat the shit out of him

I need this fucking movie so bad Michael why you gotta keep daddy from getting his medicine

I saw Judy Greer (Kitty) on an episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and I was thrown by her playing anybody but Kitty, even more so as her character was a competent store owner.

Oh fuck, I love this show.

That video with David Cross is pretty accurate though, they were immensely well reviewed but yet they got canceled.

There has got to be a better way of saying that...

You should carry around a tape recorder and re-listen to the things you say.

Reviews are one thing, ratings are another. For once it wasn't FOX's fault. AD's ratings were never great and it was on the chopping block by the end of the second season. The third may have been cut short but it wasn't really justified financially in the first place.

People just didn't get it.

I don't agree with this. I had never even heard of this show until after it was cancelled. I watched it and IMMEDIATELY "got it". So has everyone I have recommended it to. Its a great show.

Problem was no one knew about it when it was on. People "not getting it" was not the problem.

Butters

Oh you got it? Oh that must mean everyone that watched it at first got it.

Never you mind. I got it all wrong.
