Arrested Development Appreciation

[rottenpieces]

When they all did the chicken dance, Michael asked if any of them has even seen a chicken.

At one point Gob refers to his suit as a "king" suit.

@ you dropping late pass but you only watched it this past summer, the show came out 6 years ago.


Glad to say I've been a fan since it came out, it was pretty nerve racking always afraid it was going to be cancelled, until it finally was.

So many great moments, such creative and well-thought out storylines, so many running jokes, some of my favorites, Mrs. Featherbottom, Franklin the puppet, allof the chicken dances

@ "This is why you don't teach lessons to your son episode."

That episode was brilliant... "so you taught a lesson, not to teach lessons?"

"I swear it's my last lesson"

It just wasn't one of those shows that you could pick up in the middle of the season as a first-time watcher and get all the jokes. The showreally rewarded faithful viewers.

Perhaps an attic, shall I seek...

Probably my favorite recurring joke is whenever someone mentioned Anne they would always reply with "Her?"

the only thing that remotely makes me want to check this out is because of cera

 

[heemsta]

one of my favorites

 

[aplx2]

I almost lost it when Lindsey asked Michael what Tobias' last words were after he got ran over.

Tobias - "I just blue myself"

 

[mastamind89]

The show was simply amazing

 

[retr0sxual]

The doctor that the Bluths were always stuck with had me dying.

"We lost him."

"It looks like he's dead."

"He's going to be all right."

Your watching for the wrong reason then son. Cera to me wasn't one of the top funny characters in the show. Micheal, Tobias and Gob GOAT.

it's as user friendly as HEROES is, yet all walks of life seem to watch, understand, go back, and re-UNDERSTAND the whole philsophy of that..yet with comedies, i guess people arent up to that task.

its real sad.

even with the dvds, i tend to watch the hulu.com episodes more than anything else.. Just great stuff.

I love the episode where they leave george michaels gf in mexico. just so much going on and revolving around each other.. BRILLIANT

I think his name was ice, in that episode, they hand him a blue print paper with a face on it, and he says nice patio, or something similar. then turns itaround and sees the face.. the closer was when he tackles Tobias, the "blue faced guy" as the blue print suggested.

The whole oscar and buster "is he my dad" theme is just great... I could go on and on

[the yes guy]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.

 

[frostythepoptart]

amazing show. def top 3 for me.

as far as the uk office i found that show hilarious too after i got the characters development.

especially when uk dwight told them about his greatest fantasy. i laughed at that moment prolly more than any other comedy.

STEVE HOLT!

The writing on this show is genius and I never really noticed and got to appreciate it so much until I started watching these seasons over.

I think the ep was Marta Complex or before that but it;s the one where GOB is looking for hermano

and Buster starts to like Marta as well. Just the wholedialogue between Michael, GOB, and Buster in the kitchen is gold. They said the word brother so many times and in a couple different languages

I justappreciate that.

Also I never knew how funny The Fonz was before this show aired. Dude is hilarious.

I love that scene too.

Whenever my brothers and I greet each other we always do it in the Buster voice and say "Hey brother"

Yo that whole you have to be watching from the first ep or season 1 is %@*!+#+*. The narrator updates the viewers after every break.

The show does reward it's dedicated fans but that's with jokes that go over newcomers heads anyway. The core of the show is constantly being retold foranyone who just wants to pick up the show up at any episode.
