I just wanna know what direction they're going to take the show.. they really bookended it in the last four episodes that aired on fox...
maybe they can just.. pretend those didnt happen?

but thank god it got a new life. now.. what we need are HOURLONGS!

The final episodes were great because if the show was over, it was a good closer. However, it didn't really shut the door on anything, leaving almost all the plot lines open if the show was picked up.

Jake Wallace

03/01/06, 06:18 PM

it's pretty much impossible for them to write that show into a corner, so nothing that could happen would be too crazy. i am excited for them to pick up in a state of extreme chaos.

i kind of hope they still bleep everything out, because it's so fucking funny when people go on rants of bleeps.

what DIDN'T go down in the last epiosdes? you should download them on limewire or kazaa or something, because you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it.

Ahh, haha, I didn't know you had posted this. I just saw it after I replied. Hopefully it will for sure happen. (Page 6 is just the gossip section right? So it could be wrong.)

I agree, but I think they know that. Or at least I hope so. I don't want it to get any dirtier than it is - the blue dots and bleeps must stay. I think they enjoy finding ways to turn or cover up whoever is cursing though, like they said in the commentary in one of the season two episodes.

in short..... george sr. actually was a patsy and innocent and Lucielle was actually the one who ran it all. She was found out and stole the queen mary and lead a police chase out inot the ocean while Michael and George Michael decided to start afresh in an island paradise all while buster fell off the queen mary and encountered the seal again

Dang man im sorry to hear that.

03/01/06, 07:04 PM

It is the best show ever, but I don't trust this news for a minute. The deal with Showtime DID not look like it would fall through. The fact that Jake has no source of evidence (and no online news source has any evidence, in particular) makes me think this either a rumor gone bad or someone's hope taking over the fact they need to post valid news.

I'm going to wait for evidence before I start partying about this.

Kelley Nicole

03/01/06, 07:06 PM

It's from Page 6 - go to Google, click "news", and search "arrested development showtime." A bunch of recently updated articles will come up. Of course it's just a gossip page, but they're posting about it because the deal is really close now, I guess. But still not confirmed by the network or the show.

Showtime has picked up Arrested Development (the best show ever) for 26 more episodes. That's all I know, but I'll post more when I find out.

is your source on this reliable? oh wait, there is no source.

im pretty positive the show ended. rod howard said it right at the end of the last episode, "it WAS arrested development"

yea the show was a brillant peice of art, but im kind of glad it ended on a high note. you will never hear people complain about bad episodes of arrested and thats a good thing.

Tony

03/01/06, 07:11 PM

Wow.. 26 episodes... More than I ever could have hoped for.
keep in mind, that a season doesn't run as long on a premium channel. also, it was rumored several months ago that the deal with showtime would be for two 13-episode seasons (abc's deal was rumored to be for one 18-22 episode season). so these 26 episodes would likely be spread out over 2 years.

also, this is still in the rumor stage, as the only source it seems to be coming from is page six (http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/60385.htm).

Kelley Nicole

03/01/06, 07:17 PM

the report from the new york post was rumor or buzz...the show has not been picked up yet, but it is moving in the direction of being picked up...showtime wants it but it is up to the creator (mitch) if he wants to continue with the show...
yeah that's what i thought. i think he has until june to decide? i don't know, that was what i heard.

and christ - there IS a source you asshats. HERE HERE HERE (http://pqarchiver.nypost.com/nypost/access/994915501.html?dids=994915501:99491 5501&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Feb+28%2C+2006&author=&pub=New+York+Post&edition=&startpage=011&desc=WE+HEAR+.+.+.). yes it's gossip, but there's a source. (um yeah i'm not a subscriber so you only get like a line, but still.)

Edit: Haha, Tony beat me to it.

I'm one of the biggest fans around but the episodes with Charlize Theron were retarded. Literally and in a figuretive sense as well.

never seen or heard of Family Business.
but Penn & Tellers Bullshit is definitely in my Top 5, next to Arrested Development, Da Ali G Show, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

seriously
last episode i saw was the last episode of season 2 since i own that dvd
you are part of the reason the show was cancelled... there are so many people that say they like this show, but they never made sure to watch it every week. it doesn't help if you buy the DVD's and never watch the show. you didn't watch the show once the whole 3rd season? not to be a jerk, that's not my intention at all, but make sure you watch it now.

Well, in all honesty...unless he has a Nielsen rating box, it wouldn't matter if he watched it on TV or not...it wouldn't factor into the ratings. Buying the DVDs is actually a great option for those of us (which, I assume is around 97-98%) that don't have Nielsen boxes in our houses. So...go and buy the DVDs...Season 2 is at Target for $14.99.

YES! This is quite possibly the best show ever created. I watched the entire first season on Sunday. I really want the second season for my birthday.

03/01/06, 11:42 PM

Hmmm. I don't know about this news. I just read this Today Wednesday at tvtattle.com

Showtime: We haven't picked up "Arrested Development"
Addressing all those rumors swirling around, Showtime spokesperson Stuart Zakim says: "Nothing has changed since Robert Greenblatt spoke to the critics in January."

I hope this is wrong.

Elijscott

03/02/06, 04:04 AM

Hell yes. Best show ever. And I'm going to have to pay for showtime just to watch this masterpiece. That sucks, but it's better than no arrested development.
