I like this episode, it was great that they went out with both middle fingers pointing at FOX.

"Medium".  It wasn't as funny.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

i knew it wasnt quite right this season and i couldnt put my finger on why, but here it is in black and white...

Quote from: Alia Shawkat
The writers from season 2 quit because they had to work such crazy hours. And now we just got a fresh batch of young writers who work some god awful hours.

new writers.  fuuck.

Odd that new writers would bring about the most self-referential season with the most in-jokes and jokes about in-jokes.

I re-watched some of the early season two episodes, and as much as I love the new season (there's just so much stuff - Wee-Britain seems like ages ago), you cant beat episodes like the Christmas party (come on!) and the 'Tobias's balls for Iraq landscape'.

Two episodes of House tonight....great.  Fox's stupid website said New Episode of Arrested Development Tonight! for half of today.  But alas, its not on, and no one seems to know when the last 4 episodes will be on.  No wonder no one watches this show.  I fucking love the show and i can't figure out when its on.

the latest EW says...
"Proof there's a (comedy) God: ABC and Showtime have made offers to air a fourth season of our favorite endangered sitcom."

so unless it's a misprint that the producers are in talks with them, the networks seem to have made offers which = AWESOME.  i dont care where it ends up, either could be great.  they need to get another season and hire season 1 & 2 writers back at ANY COST.

Abraham Higginbotham and Barbie Adler!

When do we want them?

'Arrested': There's more
Source: http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/

I just got a press release from Fox announcing a "two-hour season finale" of Arrested Development will air Feb. 10. The expanded episode will feature guest appearances by '80s greats Judge Reinhold and Justine Bateman, who plays Nellie Bluth, Michael's possible long-lost sister.

Nowhere on the release does it say this is the last episode of the series; it only refers to the special as a season finale. Could this mean there's still hope? Perhaps if enough people watch, it'll send the network a message.

wow, a two hour episode is going to really pull in those casual viewers who may eventually become interested in the show. it's like they don't want any new viewers. i'm surprised they didn't slide it into a 2 am christmas eve slot.

It would be really funny if they hyped up Justine Bateman and Judge Reinhold's appearances on the show.

You mean through marketing on Fox? Now that's funny.
