Start hoping for a Season 4.

Okay, okay.. so we haven't experienced this yet in Australia. Pass it on fox...pass it on. So from my point of view, any good american writer/cartoonist gets shafted if they dont have enough money and in many cases even if they have (hmmm... eg. matt groening...) Why do all the crap things get exported like "full house", "popular". "CSI", "the OC", "Sumerland" and fucking "seventh heaven" (p.s. Australians aren't as a rule religious which is why 'seventh heaven' crashed and burned - thank 'god') We know you have the goods america - the wrong people are just in charge - Furturamians unite!!!

I bought the season one dvd set, and I already watched a disc. It's every bit as funny as people said it would be, and the guy I asked at the portland mall for it said he thought it was a great show, too! My favorite part so far:
Grandfather: They can't arrest the husband and wife on the same case.
Father: That's not true!
Grandfather: I got the worst damn attornies.

They started airing this show in Australia a few days ago, it's on 10:30pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I've gotta say, I really like this show (despite the jerky camerawork). Haven't quite learned all the character's names yet, but that guy who can't act is just plain hilarious, especially during his audition for the fire sale. "We're having a fire!!! ...Sale. Somebody save the children!" *falls to the floor singing Amazing Grace* I probably got that quote wrong, but oh well. Still a funny show.

Is arrested development usually so funny?
"What happened to God?" "There is no God!"

Last night's episode (in Australia, that is) was definately one of the funniest ones I've seen. Loved the never-nude stuff.
"Ummm... you need to be naked for your physical." "I am naked!"

Arrested Development is just great - Scrubs too, but there's probably another thread for that - it has brought life and joy into my Sunday nights again.
Yeah, I have to say there was something messed up about them issuing all those warnings just because the word "balls" was in that episoid. I seem to remember it uttered in an episoide of Melcolm in the Middle without any hulabaloo, but perhaps the world has changed since then.
Michael: Is this about the money? Gob: No. Michael: What do you want? Gob: I mean, it's not about money in the sense that I'm coming here saying, "Here, Michael. Take some money." It's just more of a "may I have some" kind of visit.
Gob's Wife: I'm in love with your brother-in-law. Gob: You're in love with your own brother? The one in the army? Gob's Wife: No, your sister's husband. Gob: Michael? Michael! Gob's Wife: No, that's your sister's brother. Gob: No, I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with me - me. Gob's Wife: I'm in love with Tobias. Gob: My brother-in-law? Gob's Wife: I know it can never be, so I'm leaving. I'm enlisting in the army. Gob: To be with your brother .. Gob's Wife: No!

If you watch the uncut pilot on the DVD, the original version of that joke was: Michael: So this is the Aztec Tomb trick. GOB: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money... [sees children watching his magic] GOB: ... or cocaine! Somehow, it's just so much funnier when that's GOB's idea of sugercoating his comments. And I agree with you. If we owe Arrested Development nothing else, we should be forever thankful for introducing us to Will Arnett. I laughed way too hard and way too long at the dramatic letter hurling in episode 2.

I got the DVD set, and it's great. The only episode I've seen before from the first season was Pier Pressure, and the rest are all new to me. I've only watched the first disc, but it's hilarious. Everyone should pick this set up. However, I was wondering, where is the "adult language" that merits a warning on disc 1?
