ShlappinDahBass Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Haven't seen any threads about this glorious show. Any fans of it here? Buster is probably my favorite character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtothesky Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Ron Howard is set to be executive producer for the Arrested Development movie, which has been announced. Didn't watch the TV Show. May try to check out a season when I have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the movie is sort of in limbo right now, what will definitely be happening before that is a new season of the show coming to Netflix next year. So that's really the thing to get excited about.

danielmclark Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 AD was one of the best shows on TV... killed off by an apathetic public that has no taste (as all the best stuff usually is). I'm excited as hell that it's coming back! Plus... http://images.tvrage.com/people_galleries/4/9997/8099.jpg ...hottest woman on television.

theredtamasrule Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 What a great show. Tobias Funke was my favorite, David Cross just killed as that character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Best show of the 00s. The supporting characters are hilarious as well like "Steve Holt!" and Carl Weathers playing himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Gob a lot to. Especially when all his magic tricks would screw up. Wait, what I meant to say was his illusions. A trick is something a whore does for money.

ShlappinDahBass Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yes. I heard about the movie. Very excited for that. Only FOX would get rid of such popular shows...lol. And good thing I have Netflix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossedSignals Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Big fan here! I've probably seen the whole show 5 times through. So many great one-liners.... and David Cross as Tobias is one of the funniest characters of all-time. Gob too.

Screw you. *shakes head and walks away slowly with hands in pockets* You're forgetting that Two And A Half Men is on CBS, a channel that knows how to promote the crap out of their shows. The rest of the shows were on FOX, who has problems doing that a lot. Dollhouse should've been cancelled when it was. Yes, it was an original story but by the time the second season came the show got so convoluted you couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. Firefly's problem was that it was on FOX. The moment you see that show it screams "Sci-Fi Channel". If it had been on there it would've had a respectable run of maybe four of five seasons. Of, course how cute Jewel Staite is should've got Firefly at least three seasons. If I were to make a list of shows that got absolutely screwed, Firefly would be number one. The show was never even given a chance at all. Now with that out of they way, FOX crapped the bed with Arrested Developement to. At some point they just stopped caring and gave it bad timeslots. Like airing it against Monday Night Football on the west coast and having the last few episodes on during the olympics. No show is gonna survive that and they pretty much set it up to fail at the end, probably so the station could go onto whatever flavor of the month show they were in love with at the time. I hope the rumored movie does happen so we can get some closure on all the characters. Edited June 12, 2012 by J2112YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joss Whedon has said he isn't doing anything else with Firefly again. I remember reading an interview where he said if the movie had been more successful he would've considered it. But Serenity only broke even at the box office and he didn't make any money off it until the DVD release. Still, he should think about doing someting with it again because Nathan Fillion and Summer Glau have become more well known since then.
