Arrested Development

Finally! Someone bought me the DVD's to this hilarious show. For the majority of you people who don't have a clue what this show is, it is about a dysfunctional rich family with some legal problems, but that is the extremely short version of the story. It's too bad it only lasted three short years. If you have seen this show, please talk about or quote your favorite moments of this show. I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes.

Quote:

After Tobias had just recently bought a dance club.

Tobias: Well, yes, but I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I’m afraid I have somewhat of a mess on my hands.
Michael: There are just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.

I can't think of any quotes, but I love this show. It's cancellation made me hate people even more. :mad2:

I can't think of any quotes. But the fact that it is cancelled and the War at Home is still on pisses me off.

I have the entire series on DVD. God, I love that show. It was amazing.

Very easily one of the two or three funniest and most well written shows of all time. Each and every character had thousands of moments that stand out, though I always loved Henry Winkler on the series personally, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

"If you know where your dad is, just give me a high-five."
"If he has a shot, just give me a little tap on the fanny."



"OH MY GOD, WE'RE HAVING A FIRE sale.."




Take care all.

I could watch the show endlessly.


In fact, I find my comedy writing beginning to mimic the shows style, with a narrator and plots that seem overly complex until they somehow always tie together.


Take care all.

Yes. I totally agree.

This show was probably one of the best recent TV shows. Its a giant shame that it got cancelled. I recently bought the First Season DVD's and am gonna get the second + third seasons for Christmas.

Everything about that show was the best. The characters, the plots, the whole thing. I loved it.. if only more people had. :(

This might possibly be, after Simpsons and Seinfeld, both who have the advantage of super long runs, the greatest sitcom in the history of television.

This is from the Public Relations episode:

Gob: Michael I need you to get Jessie to spin something for me.
Michael: Sorry, I don't think Jessie works for us anymore. What did you need spun?
Gob: ...Murder

I can never listen to Europe's "The Final Countdown" without breaking down in laughter, even moreso, thanks to AD.


Take care all.

This show was one of my favorites and when it moved I had no idea what was going on until I found out where it moved to and that it was being canceled. Man that was annoying.

Easily one of the best shows I've ever watched. Sadly I didn't get into it until like a week before the third season started! Well I don't watch tv if at all but this one show made me want to watch tv. I was pissed when I heard it was going to get cancelled.:mad:

Anyway what season did you guys think was the best? When I went to a few AD fansites and IMDB a lot of the "hardcore" fans thought the second season was the weakest and worst but I thought otherwise. I thought it was the best and funniest. Thoughts?

Also my fave Tobias quote is:

"I'm afraid I just blue myself."

I found the 2nd season to be the best, but they were all wonderful.


Take care all.

I thought the second season was the "worst", but it's still funnier than anything else on tv.

I love this show. I was so sad when it was cancelled. Actually, I didn't know it was and just assumed the season had ended without me knowing...then it didn't come back :(

I don't think I can recall any specific quotes right now, but anything involving Buster + seal (I think?) - hand = funny.
