I love this show.
P.S.: Bob Odenkirk is God, from his days on The Ben Stiller Show, through his role as "Stevie the Agent" on Larry Sanders, to the few times I saw Mr. Show.

Another great episode. Softball game fixes, conjugal visits, Job having to nail the cross-eyed secretary, and a great turn by Bob Odenkirk as the marriage counselor.

Hilarious.
I just hope Fox continues to be patient with this show, and I think they will since the critics love it so much. GOB has his face pressed against the window and is forced to watch his parents do the deed. |

Sunday's show was excellent. The one storyline I wasn't finding so amusing was Buddy and Liza- glad there was none of that. But everything else, especially the sister and the gay husband is just hilarious.
The half hour is too short. |

This show just keeps getting better and better.
Wasn't it picked up for the entire season? |

FOX is going to run a New Year's Eve Marathon of Arrested Development. It's probably going to be re-runs of the first four shows.

Nothing new to add, just wanted to chime in and say how much I love this show too. I keep waiting for it to get worse but each episode has been a delight. I even liked Liza when she was on - the whole "pointy-haired blob" thing and vertigo - all goods for laughs. The roles could not be better cast, simply everyone, even the kids, is great and the chemistry with the actors is excellent. There's a couple of things that I wondered about -
First of all, didn't they burn the banana stand down, then all of a suddent it's up again in the next episode? Maybe it's an "they killed kenny" sort of thing. Also, what happened to Gob's Mexican girlfriend? I was hoping the whole thing with her and Michael continued. Well (wishful thinking) maybe the show won't get cancelled and we'll find out. |

Quote: The show must be catching on...I just found this article about a FULL season of Arrested Development: POSTED: 2:41 p.m. MST November 25, 2003 El Paso -- -- FOX DOES MORE TIME WITH 'ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT' ORDERING FULL SEASON Spend New Year's Eve With The Bluths When FOX Airs Two-Hour Mini-Marathon of 'Arrested Development' FOX Broadcasting Company has ordered nine additional episodes of the critically acclaimed comedy series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, it was announced today by Gail Berman, President, Entertainment for the FOX Broadcasting Co.

Additionally, FOX will air a mini-marathon consisting of four back-to-back episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT on Wednesday, Dec. 31 (7:00-9:00 PM) on KFOX.

Jeffrey Tambor was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night. He is a funny guy. Says people mistake him for Dr. Phil.

Quote: Anyone with any sense of television would never confuse him with Dr. Phil - instead, the clearly educated would walk up to him and say, "Hey Now!" (or "Say Now!" as the phrase "Hey Now!" was the intellectual property of the network). |

I luv it. I can't believe how this show makes Liza Minelli somewhat watchable. I luv the relationship between Lisa's character and Buster. I can't wait to see their offspring.

Watch This Show, Damnit! | ||

Another great episode. Check out the article in this week's Entertainment Weekly.
Major suckage if this show is canceled. Major suckage. Gob blowing up the yacht? Lucille using Onyon as a pocketbook and hiding the inheritance money on him? The secretary's nipple being about 6 inches too high? The whole Dorothy thing? OMG...this show is the second funniest original show on TV next to Curb Your Enthusiasm, and since Curb is now done, it is THE funniest original show currently on. |
