My top Tobias quote is probably "Who wants to go to the hospital?", because I love it every time he says it.

And I find myself spouting "For British eyes onlyyyy!" more often than is probably healthy.

[Reply #43 on:]

I thought it was "Who wants to bring daddy to the hospital?"

[Reply #44 on:]

I think you might be getting that confused with Michael's "Let's go over the route to the hospital" in Sword of Destiny. Either way, Tobias definitely said "Who wants to go to the hospital" in Amigos (to Lindsay, after Ice tackled him). Other variations of it were said in The One Where They Build a House and Afternoon Delight. I think he might've said something about "bringing daddy to the hospital" in one of the hair plug episodes though (most likely Prison Break-In), but I'd have to check on that one.

[Reply #45 on:]

Yeah, what Beamer said. It's when Ice lands on his kidney and Tobias says "Why am I not blacking out?", etc.

I think my most-quoted Tobias line would have to be "I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, and now I'm afraid I have something of a mess on my hands."

Still funny.   

Always funny. I watched the first 4 episodes of the second season, and i still crack up when Tobias says, "I'm afraid I just blue myself."

Also these two are gold.

Tobias: You know, Lindsay, as a therapist, I have advised a number of couples to explore an open relationship where the couple remains emotionally committed, but free to explore extra-marital encounters.
Lindsay: Well, did it work for those people?
Tobias: No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but ... but it might work for us.

(In response to Lucille's refusal to believe Buster was going to war)
Tobias: You know, Mother Lucille, there's a psychological concept known as denial that I think you're evincing. It's when a thought is so hateful that the mind literally rejects it.
Lucille: You are a worse psychiatrist than you are a son-in-law, and you will never get work as an actor because you have no talent.
Tobias: Well, if she's not going to say anything, I certainly can't help her.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, it could've happened to any one of us.

Any so-called "Arrested Development fan" who doesn't watch at least 15 episodes of the show a week isn't a real fan. Simple as that.

[Reply #49 on:]

Damn right. I watch all three seasons every weekend.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go change my last name to Bluth and move to Orange County.

Here's a question: what's the official title of the last episode of season 3? Or the second episode of the same season, for that matter? I've seen both "Development Arrested" and "Harboring Resentment" bandied about for the finale, and "British Bombshell" and "For British Eyes Only" attributed to the second. Which are right?

[Reply #51 on:]

The last episode was originally titled Harboring Resentment in early press releases, but its title was later listed as Development Arrested. Same for 302 - originally listed as The British Bombshell, later listed as For British Eyes Only. Whichever one of these titles is the real one remains a mystery. I usually refer to them by the second titles, though.

The Season 3 DVD listing currently uses the original titles, but we can take that with a grain of salt at the moment considering nothing official is known about it yet other than its approximate release date. My guess is that 302 is For British Eyes Only, and they'll keep 313's title as Development Arrested unless they get more episodes.

[Reply #52 on:]

Unless they get more episodes? What do you mean?

[Reply #53 on:]

The show still hasn't been officially cancelled by Fox yet - or rejected by Showtime, either. Until we get news that it's been cancelled, then there's still a very, VERY small chance that a forth season could happen. Keep in mind that's one big very, since Mitch Hurwitz doesn't want to be Executive Producer anymore (and the Showtime president said they probably wouldn't take it with Hurwitz not on board - though he said he'd be a consultant, so who knows?), many cast/staff members are moving onto other things now, and Fox re-ordering such a low-rating show for ANOTHER season wouldn't make sense. So, there's probably a 1% chance of it returning.

I expect that if it does, they'll probably retitle 313 "Harboring Resentment," since Development Arrested seems so... final...

[Reply #54 on:]

And I was just dealing with the fact that AD was never coming back. My therapist said I was making amazing improvements. But you had to bring me back.

I need a hug.

[Reply #55 on:]

Hey - couldashouldawoulda?

[Reply #56 on:]

So....what's going on?

Where's a good place to get current AD news?

[Reply #57 on:]

The O.P. forums, but if I hear anything worth posting, I'll post it. Things are slow at the moment, be patient.

[Reply #58 on:]

I am like sand in the desert, if the wind blows me, so be it.

[Reply #59 on:]

Sorry to bump and double post, but I thought I'd tell everyone about this. I'll copy it from TV Guide directly.

THE JAKE EFFECT (Bravo, 8/7c), a never-aired 2003 sitcom about two competitive best friends (Alias' star Greg Grunberg costars with Jason Bateman) finally makes it to screens in a one-time-only special engagement: All seven episodes air 5/25, marathon-style.

 I vagually recall that happening. Did it because it would have been hilarious if it did and in which episode?

I know this question was posted a while ago, but I just feel like showing off my encyclopaedic knowledge of arrested development. It did happen and it was hilarious. I believe it was in Mtherboy XXX

[Reply #61 on:]

It was in Motherboy XXX, and that'd already been answered on the last page. 

So, umm, no new word on AD at all, but Tony Hale (Buster) has signed on to do a police comedy with Andy Richter, called Andy Barker, P.I, and it's being produced by Conan O'Brien. Yeah, a little off-topic, but hey, Andy Richter's been on the show a couple of times, and anyone who watches Conan will know that he's a HUGE Arrested Development fan. Quite a few of the cast members are moving on to new projects now, which is sad, but at least this one actually sounds good. I'll keep you posted.

Looks like our only hope for new AD now is a movie. Please, Mitch, pleeeeeaaaasssse!

[Reply #62 on:]

Yeah, I've abandoned all hope for the show to continue. That Showtime deal seemed sweet, and if he didn't take that, then.....

But that AR/TH show sounds like it'll be awesome. I can't wait.

I caught a couple of episodes of that the other night.  I'd say that it was shame that this show was canned before it had a chance, but if it hadn't been, Jason Bateman might not have been able to do Arrested Development.

[Reply #64 on:]

Even though Andy Richter's last two shows have been canceled it still makes me think it will be a good show. Plus 'Buster is great, he will hopefully get the show good ratings, just like on AD. 

[Reply #65 on:]

I loved Andy Richter Controls the Universe. Good stuff. Speaking of which... Sign me! see nix i didn't dedicate a whole thread to it 

also i never realized how many awards AD won and was nominated for until I looked it up on imdb. I knew it was a lot but jeez...

[Reply #66 on:]

I enjoyed ricter controls the universe when I downloaded the entire series and watched in in two days. Good stuff.

[Reply #67 on:]

Any news on the new Andy Richter show?

Randi, I loved it too.  But it was three years ago!

[Reply #69 on:]

Does anyone know when season 3 dvds are being released in the UK, or if it's going to be on British tv?

[Reply #70 on:]

The Season 3 DVD comes out in America in August, you'll probably get it in December-ish, I'd say. As for Season 3 on British tv, I was told it already was, but then again, you'd really have to check with whoever broadcasts it there.

[Reply #71 on:]

I can't wait for season 3 to come out. I still haven't seen The Ocean Walker. I heard it was really good.

[Reply #72 on:]

It was good, though nowhere near as good as other season highlights like The Cabin Show, Mr. F and the finale (and by the finale, I'm referring to all four episodes). Some very funny moments, though the Rita thing is a lot less interesting when the viewers know 100%-for-sure what her secret is. If you're a hardcore fan, though, you'll LOVE it. It perhaps holds the record for the most number of callbacks in a single episode.

[Reply #73 on:]

So I heard. I also heard it contains a callback to a car commercial Tony Hale did.

Also the "On The Next Arrested Development" is really good.......who's to say?

[Reply #74 on:]

I still think Top Banana had the best "On the Next" in the history of the show. You just can't beat that ending. 

Anyway, excellent news announced today: SEASON 3 DVD EXTRAS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED!!! 

I'm SO happy to hear they're doing three commentaries - I thought that with two discs, we might only be getting two, but this is excellent news. A strange choice for the first two... However, I love Mr. F, so that should be an excellent commentary, but Forget-Me-Now seems rather odd. I would've liked to have heard commentary for For British Eyes Only, The Ocean Walker, Fakin' It or Exit Strategy, but oh well, this is certainly better than nothing. Hopefully the behind the scenes featurette will be a little more in-depth than the one on the Season 1 DVD, and of course, I'm looking forward to the deleted scenes and blooper reel. Bring on August 29!

You mean you had doubts the first time around?

Which one was that again?

I'd got it right from "I like to think they teach me," but at least there was always the possibility she was a spy, whether or not she personally knew about it. The only real surprise The Ocean Walker had about her was that she was rich. But I do know some people who, amazingly, never picked up on ANY of the wee brain hints.

 

Originally posted by David A:

It starts off with Gob throwing his dove into the ocean since he can't return it, then he goes over to Michael and George Michael who are rebuilding the banana stand. He complains that he was never asked to help, then when Michael offers, he says he has a rabbit to buy and drives off on his segway. One week later: Gob is seen throwing a dead rabbit into the ocean.

Oh, I get it.

You said Jackass, and your avatar is a donkey. A donkey who's not sure about his/her sexuality.

Eh, who cares.

Anyone see the commercial for Jeffrey Tambor's new show with John Lithgow? It looks pretty cool.
