[melfreya]

[Inaya]

I was so mad when they cancelled this! It was the best show on network TV in forever!

 

[papa_levante]

Hopefully this show will pull a "Family Guy" and be reincarnated.

I loved every single twist at the end. Pure genius.

Oh man, it was so ridiculous but managed to be so funny. I still can't figure out how they did that. Seriously, a great cast. Gob was my favorite.

Lucille Bluth Quotes

Lindsay: Did you enjoy your meal, Mom? You drank it fast enough.
Lucille: Not as much as you enjoyed yours. You want your belt to buckle, not your chair.

Lucille: You might want to let that fire go out before you stick your face in it.
Lindsay: Ah, that's funny. Because I was going to say, you might want to lean away from that fire since you're soaked in alcohol.
Lucille: Mine was better.

Lucille: Buster, what's going on? What happened to your head?
Buster: Nothing. Gob was just teaching me how to hit it with a hammer.

Lucille: There were 250ccs of your father in that cooler!

Maeby: This is so much fun. I can't believe my mom thought being here would be a punishment.
Lucille: Oh, she thinks I'm too critical. That's another fault of hers.

Lucille: Oh, what'd she do, get you drunk?
Michael: No, we just, uh, well ... we—we did drink a little bit. How'd you know that?
Lucille: Because that's what she said she'd do. I said you wouldn't give her the money, and she said, "He will if I get him drunk." Probably because she thinks you're a cheap bastard. Oh ... her words.

Buster: They're taking me in the army. They didn't think there was enough wrong with me.
Lucille: Well, did they check everything?
Buster: Yes! They even touched my Charlie Browns.

Michael: Mom, somebody wants to break Gob's legs.
Lucille: It's a good thing he has his little scooter!

George Sr.: Hey, Bruno, any chance that the hole is available between 4:00 and 6:00?
Lucille: I don't even want to know what that means.

Lucille: I want you out of the house.
Oscar: Oh, I want you everywhere.

Lucille: Your father with his disgusting tweaking. I couldn't breast feed any of you kids because of that man.
Everyone groans except for Barry.
Barry: They still look fabulous

I LOVED the part when Lucille thought that her medication was giving a winking eye suggestion to drink...Also when Buster drinks the boxed wine...and when he looks at his alarm clock and thinks it says arm off instead of alarm off..classic..

 

[melfreya]

^^^^arm off!!!
and who can forget the classic scene where tobias dressed as a housekeeper flies from the balcony with the umbrella and crashes..

Oh-remember in season Two when Buster joined the Army and then tried to escape to Mexico, only to end up in his maid's neighborhood?

Oh-remember in season Two when Buster joined the Army and then tried to escape to Mexico, only to end up in his maid's neighborhood?

or when they did a Buster flashback to when he was a kid and he threw what he thought was Lupe's favourite toy ( a dustbuster) at what he thought was her car (the bus)?????

I'm so glad that I found this thread! Arrested Development is one of my all-time favorite shows and I was heartbroken when FOX canceled it. I will never fully understand how such a brilliant show is under appreciated and overlooked, but the garbage (not the band of course, I think they're fabulous!) is popular and still on the air!

I'm very grateful that Jason Bateman was able to turn his career around thanks to AD though. I've been a fan since Silver Spoons and it seemed like every project he was in pre-AD was either mediocre and/or immediately canceled. He looks better than ever though.

So here's a funny clip to remember the good times!

[melfreya]

at that novella!!!!genius episode!
oh how i loved tobias and his interesting use of words

 

[ToxicMoxie]

godddd, this thread almost brings me to tears I miss AD so much! I get so excited when I see one of the actors from the show in anything else!

 

[Inaya]

^ Same here

 

[Kawari]

For me, the most interesting thing was that this show was a hit with the critics but couldn't get a good enough audience to keep it alive. All the critics loved it and it won quite a few awards, including an Emmy. Though the Emmys tend to suck, it's a popularity contest, it actually won.
I was surprised by Portia's role-she was in such an intense role in The Sopranos I was surprised to see she was so funny!

Oh, Gob and his chicken dance!

 

[cutxpaste]

oh my god. best show ever!

 

[city girl]

One of my favourite shows. I love when Gob does his magic routine while 'the final countdown' is playing
