"Arrested Development" was a show in the early 00's that was on FOX for 3 seasons, and then was cancelled for outrageous reasons. Though FOX claimed nobody watched it, it's picked up quite more than a "cult" following since it's cancellation. FOX blamed some of the lack of viewers on the fact that you had to follow the show every week to understand what was going on.
I've always been curious among my group of friends, who is an Arrested Development fan and who is not. I never watched the show when it was originally on FOX, but I've since picked up the DVDs and watched the whole series through, and then over and over again. Easily the funniest television program I've ever seen, with the best characters, and Ron Howard as the narrator never gets old.
My favorite family member is easily Tobias. Everything about him is hilarious, from his physical humor to his suggestive dialogue.
So does anyone else love AD as well? Talk it up! Supposedly, there's an Arrested Development movie in the works for 2011!
Post your favorite quotes and such, too! If the thread is remotely popular, I'll post a list I made as a Facebook note to share with all of my AD friends, and we add quotes to the note all the time...whenever we've had a rough day, we just scroll through the list and crack ourselves up!
I am a massive fan of this show. As for best lines, you really cant go past GOB in any episode, but particualrly the first episdoe.
Micheal: Gob, how is your new magic trick going
GOB: Please Micheal, this is an illusion, a trick is something that a whore does for money
