I've heard about it, it's called 20 good years I really want to watch it because they are both great actors, but I live in the UK so it's not showing over here

TOTPD! I wonder why I care?

[Reply #81 on:]

It's not showing here yet either. It'll premiere in the fall or something.

EMMY NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED TODAY! The bad news is, we've only gotten four nominations, and were snubbed of several well-deserving categories (eg. no Jason Bateman for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy?!). The good news is, I think we're a shoe-in for the categories we DID make:

BEST COMEDY SERIES
BEST WRITING IN A COMEDY SERIES (Development Arrested)
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES (Will Arnett)
BEST SINGLE-CAMERA PICTURE EDITING (The Ocean Walker)

So, there you have it. Should've been better, could've been worse, but either way, I'm VERY happy to see Will get a nod this time. 

[Reply #83 on:]

That's great news.

Hopefully we'll win some of those.

[Reply #84 on:]

i posted this in offtopic but perhaps its more pertinent i post it here.

i bought a card at my store that plays "the final countdown". i listen to it all the time 

[Reply #85 on:]

Will Arnett is a freeking genius. GOB is a tour de force. If he doesn't win than those who vote are watching a diffrent show than I.

[Reply #86 on:]

I hope Will Screams out "Oh come on" if he doesn't win, or if he does win, he performs a magic trick

[Reply #87 on:]

It'll almost be worth the injustice if he says that  but he has to win damnit! when is it anyway??

[Reply #88 on:]

If he wins, I hope that he gives his acceptance speech in-character as GOB.  That would be great.

[Reply #89 on:]

I dunno, I think it might be some tough competition with "The Office" for best comedy. Will Arnett deserves to win a banger-in-your-mouthful of awards for the tremendous performances he gave.

[Reply #90 on:]

Apparentally Emmy reception to The Office wasn't so good. And, as much as I love that show, The Office is returning for a new season. Arrested Development isn't, and quite frankly, deserves it so much more.

If Will Arnett doesn't win, I will eat an igloo.

[Reply #91 on:]

really, hmm guess the hype after 40 year old virgin finally died down. Yeah I like the Office, it's gotten better over time, but it's still not in league with Arrested. it's very rare that you have a show where there's no episode you find unfunny.

beamer - now i'm torn. i want to see will win...but i also want to see you eat an igloo.

[Reply #92 on:]

Go David!

I think what has happened with Futurama shows that there is always hope for fans of a genuinely good series, regardless of the douchbags that run good things into the ground. Apparently Rupert Murdoch had a personal grudge against the show, labelling it as 'elitist'. Im glad he trades on the US stock exchange now, dickwad.

[Reply #93 on:]

I hope if Will wins the emmy they play "The Final Countdown"

FOX Licenses Axed Cult Comedy To MSN And Cable Outlets HDNet and G4.

The Bluth Family Will Return.

The Bluths In a first-of-its-kind deal, Fox has licensed all 53 episodes of its much-loved comedy Arrested Development to MSN, HD Net, and G4. This is the first time a Web portal has grabbed rights to a recent show, and the first time a show will run simultaneously on the Web and cable.

MSN and HDNet will begin airing the show in September, and each has a three-year rights window. MSN will offer the show free to its subscribers and plans on creating a community-driven Web space around the show. HDNet will air the series in high definition.

G4 will begin running Arrested in October, also with a three-year window.

Arrested Development told the tale of the highly dysfunctional Bluth family, headed by prison-bound George (Jeffrey Tambor) and held together by long-suffering Michael (Jason Bateman). The series ran on Fox for three seasons and always attained critical acclaim, winning the Emmy for best comedy in 2004. It never received high ratings, though, and Fox pulled the plug this year.

For my Rotoscoping project in my Drawing in Motion class, I decided to do the scene of Gob throwing the letter into the ocean.  So here it is for all arrested fans to enjoy.  The animation starts about halfway through the clip.  And yes I own the animation rights.

OMG Arrested Development the Animated series!! 

That's nice, a bit plain without all the background detail though! 

[Reply #97 on:]

This is a freakin' great show. What other show went into syndication not even a year after being cancelled? And With Only 53 Episodes!!

But yeah, this October it'll start airing on the video game network, G4. Even though we've seen every episode backwards and forwards, it's good, because maybe G4 will do for Arrested, what [Adult Swim] did for Family Guy.

Arrested Development sucks! Well I really don;t know if it does, cause I've never seen it. 

[Reply #99 on:]

... Yes. That's very... clever. If you have any more clever things like that to say, be sure to post them.

[Reply #100 on:]

Allright people, emmy's are in 3 days, go GOB

[Reply #101 on:]

Arrested didn't win any of the emmys they were nominated for.

The pilot for My Name is Earl was well written, but I thought that the Arrested episode was better. However, it's not like My Name is Earl was undeserving. 

[Reply #102 on:]

As much as I like My Name is Earl, Arrested Development is so orgasmically well-written, ESPECIALLY the final episode, so I do feel cheated there. But still, 6 Emmys in 2 years for such an overlooked show is a proud achievement, and hey, I can't say I really thought we had any in the bag (except for writing... fucking hell, Development Arrested was so amazing).

[Reply #103 on:]

I was just glad that the suppoting actor went to Jeremy Piven, it would've been better if Will won it, but those two were the only ones who deserved it

[Reply #104 on:]

I've softened my stance on My Name Is Earl. It's not bad. In fact, it has its share of laughs. But it's so slooow! It's basically a laugh-track show, but without a laugh track. I prefer the rapid pace of Arrested Development.

[Reply #105 on:]

Yeah, I usually only watch Earl because it comes on before the office

It looks like David Cross and Will Arnett are going to be working together again in the new animated series Freakshow on Comedy Central.  http://tv.ign.com/articles/734/734005p1.html

Also has anyone else heard that they are trying to get David Cross on Scrubs as Tobias?  If they make that happen it would be amazing.  http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=24413
 

[Reply #108 on:]

He should stay on as a regular as the hospitals shrink. We can also include the cast of ad on Scrubs as regulars and get rid of the whole Scrubs show.

[Reply #109 on:]

I'd settle for a Tobias and GOB appearance in Scrubs.
I'm guessing they'll try to get a lot of guest stars in for the last season, but those guys would be awesome.

[Reply #110 on:]

I'd love to See Tobias piss off Dr. Cox

[Reply #111 on:]

Tobias and The Todd in the same room would simply be innuendelicious.

[Reply #112 on:]

I hope an Arrested Development soundtrack is released. While I could rip the music from the season 1 dvd, I'd like the see the complete season 1-3 soundtrack in buyable form. Maybe they could package it with an bright orange speedo.
I'd also like to hear the complete "It's not easy being white! It's not easy being brown!"

[Reply #113 on:]

"It ain't," not "It's not," you hook-ass-mutha! And I wouldn't mind betting that Gob didn't really write that much more for it...

Though if you do want it, I've got mp3s all the music from the Season 1 and 2 DVDs, and all the credit songs (the one exception being the "Hot Cops" song, unfortunately  ).

[Reply #114 on:]

Well, I've got them all on DVD, but hey, I'm sure some don't: http://arresteddevelopment.msn.com/?gt1=8717

[Reply #115 on:]

Does anyone know where I could find a mp3 or wav file of GOB saying his line from the end of season one on the episode "Let them eat cake".  It's the one where he starts off ,"I'm in charge now" when asked for who will speak on behalf of the family.  He goes from sure of himself to angry within about 20 seconds and I want to use it for a lip syncing project in my animation class.

[Reply #116 on:]

Try here?
Edit, no I checked.
Maybe someone will record it for ya.

[Reply #117 on:]

Here you go. Let me know once you have it, I can't host it for too long.

[Reply #118 on:]

Thanks for the help.  I'll post it when I get it all done.

[Reply #119 on:]

Hero Squad!

Gimmeh.
