I love this show! I think canceling it is a monumental mistake. It's unique; nothing like the majority of crappy network TV

 

[oolie coco]

Did it anyone else think it totally sucked after Season 1?

Season 1 is one of the greatest things on television but I'm honestly baffled as to why people still like it now...

I used to be majorly obsessed with Gob..... I wanted to kill Amy Pohler..... but I'm over it now.

Aww \what!? i DONT WANT THEM TO CANCEL IT they always cancel my fav shows i think its great - so clever and different

I've watched it from the beginning, and I am sad that they are cancelling it. A lot of people don't get the humor.

My fav character is Lucille.

My favorite quote was from Gob/Franklin the Puppet: "I don't want to go to your tight a** country club, ya freak b**ch!"

 

[Diamond Star]

I love it! I like the way it pokes fun at the republicans hehe

 

[pointup]

I'm so sad it was cancelled, i believe it to be one of the funniest shows ever!

^ I defnitley will sign the petition.

I just hope that if they do bring it back, that they move it to Sundays instead of "Top Model Wednesdays". And also, replace it with The War At Home...

This is probably one of the funniest shows EVER. I was never able to catch it though.. I don't know why. It's a shame they're cancelling it though when crap like The Bachelor is still going strong. Ughhhhhhh.

i love it. i didn't think it started sucking after season 1, it's still phenomenal. i loved charlize theron as a little british goof and her theme song

for british eyes oh-onleeeee



i also really like how on the scenes for next week they always just wrap up what's going on this week and that other stuff never happens.

according to the site up top AD has been renewed for a third season!!

 

[LoveMyBoots]

^I was freaking out while reading the first couple of posts. Whew!

I love the show, but I always seem to miss a couple of episodes.

I love the narration provided by Ron Howard, it was hilarous (for those who remember "The Andy Griffith Show")...
When the publicist told George Michael, "...it's all your fault, Opie." Howard narrated: "Jessie had gone too far and she had best watch her mouth."
I was LMAO.

[two months off]

I ADORE Arrested Development. My favorite is Lucille, she's just hilarious. I loved Buster's hand episode with the loose seal - heh.

 

[masquerade]

some great quotes from imdb...

Narrator: Tobias had gained entry to the studio's wardrobe and make-up department. He then disguised himself to fool his wife Lindsay, see Maebe, and prove that he was a good actor. It was the exact plot of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire... with a little Mary Poppins thrown in the mix.

Tobias Fünke: [arguing with Lindsay] Oh, great, you're mocking me. You selfish...
[realises Maebe is watching]
Tobias Fünke: country-music loving lady!

Lucille: [to Michael] That's not true! I love all my children equally.
Lucille: [earlier that day] I don't really care for GOB.

Michael: Are you serious?
Wayne Jarvis: Almost always. I was once voted the worst audience participant Cirque Du Soleil ever had.

Michael: I burned it. Down to the ground.
George Sr.: There was money in that banana stand.
Michael: Well, it's all gone now.
George Sr.: There was $250,000 lining the inside walls of the banana stand.
Michael: What?
George Sr.: Cash, Michael. What the hell did you think I meant when I said...
[strangles Michael]
George Sr.: [yells] There is money... in... the banana stand!
Prison guard: [George Sr. quickly takes his hands off Michael] No Touching!
George Sr.: No touching!
Prison guard: No touching!

Michael: I really think the reason you and I always fight is that, since we were little, Dad's always played us off each other.
Gob: Dad always said that was your fault.

Reviving this thread. This show is my favorite ever. I'm a die-hard fan. Used to be able to quote like whole episodes.

 

[golightlyfan]

hmm i love the second episode of hte third season, the one where michael meets charlize theron's character, when every bluth does their impression of a chicken. it's something you would only laugh at if you had seen gob's impression throughout the entire series, but it's maybe the most genius scene ever.

 

[fading glitter]

I LOVE Arrested Development. One of the funniest shows ever. I hated life when it was cancelled. But watching the dvds is still fun.

Some more quotes:

George Michael: What a fun, sexy time for you.

Tobias Fünke: [as Mrs. Featherbottom] O-kay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?
[laughs]
Tobias Fünke: Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a *sausage* in the mouth.
Michael: We just call it a sausage.

George Sr.: Don't get involved. Believe me. When I thought your first wife was pulling us apart, I did not make a stink.
Michael: You complained all the time and she was my only wife and she died.
George Sr.: Well, see? Things have a way of working themselves out.

Lucille: Buster. Thank God you're back. There's no shame in being a coward.
Buster: A coward? I'm not a coward. Would I coward have THIS?
[holds out a stuffed seal]
Lucille: What the hell is that?
Buster: These are my awards, Mother. From Army. The seal is for marksmanship and the gorilla is for sand racing.

Lucille: She's trying to prove that she's closer to my children than I am, but the joke's on her, because she doesn't know how little I care for GOB.
Michael: I think that makes the joke on GOB.
