I just saw an ad saying Season 3 starts September 19th at 8 p.m. I can’t even express how happy I am for this show to return. I hope the AD marathons Fox has been running non-stop will get more people into the show. It would be a shame to see this show on Trio’s Brilliant but Cancelled.
The Friday-night marathons have made me ache for the season two DVD set. I don’t know why they’re releasing it on October 11th when they should probably release it before the third season premieres.
Fuck it. We’re getting new episodes of Arrested Development and that’s all that matters.
Yeah, I have my Season 2 DVD pre-ordered as well. It’s really stupid for them not to release it before Season 3. The marathons are great, but I didn’t even know they were on until recently. It would have been nice to watch the DVDs at my own leisure.
my girlfriend did not watch a single episode of season one. had no idea what the show was. i finally got her to sit down and start watching all the episodes (after we made it through all the seasons of Strangers with Candy, another overlooked gem on her behalf). All i can say is that it is a beautiful thing to come home late at night after work and have your girlfriend want to throw a pizza in the oven and sit down and watch 3 or 4 episodes. I cannot wait for season 3 to start up, but i am looking forward to the DVDs more since there are 2 episodes i missed this year.
I’ve been a loyal viewer for a long time and I can safely say that no other show is on my must list then this show (okay maybe the Wire, but that’s another story.) To those of you who haven’t witnessed the brillance that is season 2, I’d say watch season 3, but tape it. Season 2 was when the show became mandatory to watch each episode 3-4 times over to get the full experience. Watch season 3, then when you finish season 2, go back and watch those season 3 episodes again and witness the show in all it’s glory.
AD is the only network sitcom worth watching. Gotta love it when Gob poses for abu ghraib photos with Amy Poehler.
Just rented Season 1 on DVD. Holy shit, what an awesome show. I feel like an ass for not catching on earlier.
I’ll DVR Season 3 until Season 2 comes out on DVD and I’m able to get totally caught up.

I’m not sure how to take this – but knowing Fox, it can’t be good. Could they be splitting the season? Could they be waiting for some mid-season replacements to fail so they bring it back? Not sure. But I’ve got a bad feeling about this…
How can they jerk a great show around like this?? HUH???
crap. maybe it’s too early to get upset.

wow…that is kind of alarming.
AD did get a full year’s episode order, so I am guessing they are planning some sort of shenanigans for the second half of the season.
Oh fox, please don’t fuck this show over before it even gets going.
Paul Feig directed the pilot for whatever it’s worth, he said he was shooting it on the book tour for Superstud .
From today’s Hollywood Reporter:
Quote:
| Oscar winner Charlize Theron is set to add some star power to Fox’s “Arrested Development” when its third season debuts next month. Theron has signed on to guest star in five episodes of the series, playing a British woman who becomes the love interest of “Development” star Jason Bateman. Theron will debut in the second “Development” episode of the season, following its Sept. 19 premiere. |
That’s GREAT news.
Jason Bateman is quickly becoming the Jerry Seinfeld of quality hot TV girlfriends for a lead actor. Heather Graham, ben stiller’s wife, marta 1 and marta 2,

Lol, neither Bones nor Reunion are likely to survive to that point. I kind of like House on Monday..but now instead of clearing out the overcrowded Tuesday, it’s completely empty.
Does any one know what the hell happened to Annyong?
Last I remember, he was sent to “go see a star war.”
Anyone know?
Annyong was sent to school by Lucille I believe…but apparently he was supposed to come back if season 2 wasn’t truncated.
Milford academy to be more specific, the same school Buster excelled at. I assume it would’ve led to a sight gag joke where they reveal Annyong had been back for a while, but was neither seen nor heard. Another reason to spite American Dad’s existance for snuffing out the final episodes of AD Season 2.
ahh yes, i remember now, thanks for the reminder.
Explain to me why’s this show so good people? Lately I’ve been checking out shows that have been getting mad hype on these boards. I’m midway through season 2 of The Wire and loving it. Arrested Development from the official site looks to me like The Royal Tennenbaums the TV show or something, am I close?
