FTA-TV Arrested Development

[DB10]

Don't go to Borders.

I saw it (season 1) in there for $60, at JB and Ezy it's, what, $30-something?

 

[DoubleA]

Easily one of the funniest thing I've seen on TV all year, when Gob tried to force the roofy on Michael.

"Take this and love us again."

OMG I cracked up so bad.

The highlights of last night:

Tobias' business card: analrapist.

Another amazing episode.

LOL. Analyst/Therapist. Its pronounced 'annal rappist'. I've never laughed so much in my life.

A classic



I liked George seniors attempted escape in the lawn chair balloon.That's a send up of 'Larry the lawnchair' from Mythbusters

Here's a website about that lawn chair pilot

Shame it appears it's all over with Showtime not willing to pick it up after Mitchell Hurwitz refusal to continue. I hear there is a Movie in the pipeline tho.

Excellent

Ive only got the first season on DVD and only managed to catch a couple of the 2nd season episodes, and last night was the first time Ive seen any season 3.


What I find confusing is that if you look at any forum topic that asks your favorite TV shows, Scrubs and Arrested Development are at the top of people's faves around 50% of the time, yet they are shown around midnight on a monday

When you have trash sitcoms like Friends or whatever other rehashed 'seen-it-all-before' programs on in primetime.. I just dont understand how AD isnt shown at a good time

It has to be easily the best comedy Ive seen since Seinfeld.

It's to smart. Most people want to watch adolecent halfwits try and copulate while drunk. The jokes on AD are so subtle I've not picked them up until I've read about the ep on a forum. You can watch AD over and over again and still not spot everything. People just don't want that as a whole. Give em dumb trash and plenty of it.

Brilliant, well constructed comedy,
murdered by 7 in its timeslot.

I guess the Seven programmers don't get it.

I love the recurring jokes/lines, such as "I've made a huge mistake" and "I'm a monster!"
Also love how gay Tobias is, like the other night when Michael walks in to his own party and Tobias playfully, yet firmly slaps him on the arse and when it is revealed Michael said he didn't have a family Tobias spanks him with a similar firmness on the way out.

In series 3, keep a regular ear out for :
"Well that was a freebie"
and
"The O.C - don't call it that!"

Yeha I heard that on Monday, is there any relevance to that.

 

[Jabso]

George Michael: Steve Holt's your son?....
GOB: I don't have a son
GM: ....that dumb jock?
GOB: That's my son you bastard!

Steve Holt: Hey George Michael, I'm doing your cousin tonight
GM: so are you!...uhhhh...I mean she's your cousin too

AD is set in the Orange County, so they cringe when it's referred to as the same title of a trashy teen TV show.

I like the British area of Orange County

Ha, I remember from working there its actually one of the basic sets they have at Universal Studios strangely enough called something like "Old England Town", they really didnt have to change much of it for the show.

oh god last night's was funny...

Steve Holt: "These are 'Oxy-incontinent' pills - they have lots of oxygen to stop you from being incontinent!"

Narrator: "I don't think he got that right..."


and what was the word they kept beeping out?

Pussy.

It was a joke about double meanings - that the U.S. version is considered dirty, and the U.K use a term of affection. But the show doesn't know that, so to speak, when we first hear pussy. So they beep it out, while not beeping the brit usage.

It's all a bit of mind. Typical of that brilliant show.

oh ok, I thought it was pussy after the 'pussy cat' explanation, but I didn't know it was an affectionate term in Britain. very funny though, especially at the end where she kisses him and says it

When they showed the scene with the soldier [played by the actor that is Buster] and the nurse,they bleeped out "***" when he refered to "putting a *** [cigarrette] in my mouth"
