and

And former President David Palmer (aka Dennis Haysbert) may return to TV, this time as a government operative.

Thanks for putting the qualifier in the thread title so I didn't get too excited - it is a bit weird to have news like that mentioned so casually by some nobody entertainment writer. I'm going to assume it's a mistake or something to keep my hopes down.

But please god be true. PLEASE. We started watching S1 again on the weekend and watching eps3 ('Bringing Up Buster') with all it's insanely hilarious gags made me remember how awesome the show was from pretty much the first scene.

Buster: “’Cause I’m an uptight... (long bleep)... Buster... (long bleep)... you old horny slut!”

Michael: Well, no one’s going to top that.

:lol

As much as I'd love to see a third season of AD, this does not confirm it. One of the posters on TWoP emailed the author and got this response:

Hi.

I *thought* I saw it in a Fox press release. Since I can't find the
release, and I, too can not confirm through official channels, I've
offered a retraction in my upcoming column.

Best,

Beliinda Acosta

*LOL*

I popped the first season in too, last night. Just to check out a few funny scenes (had the urge for some reason) and I watched a good 3 episodes.

I had the urge to watch the clip where Onyong (sp?) interrupted a conversion Lucielle and GOB were having...and GOB flips out...Buster's smirk cracked me up too.

 

[FoneBone]

I just watched Season 1 this weekend... I'm surprised how good some of the deleted scenes are, actually. Especially the one in the principal's office...

 

[Ollie Pooch]

i love the "you're just jealous because you lost out to me for best hair in college"

i dont know the exact line but the 2-second cut to the yearbook photos had me in hysterics :lol

:lol

Bringing up Buster was probably my favorite of Season 1, with Pier Pressure and Not Without my Daughter following close behind. Bringing up Buster got me hooked on the show, with the scene you mentioned, but also the scene where Gob's playing the piano and waking up Lucille. Marta kicked him out, and Gob said he was gonna live there at Lucille's, but then she tells him he has 3 days to find a place and Gob's like "hey, if I can't find a horny immigrant by then, I don't deserve to stay here" and they both start laughing... it's friggin' great.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I've just finished watching season 1 on dvd, I love the show. Missed it on it's tv run due to poor promotion and a late timeslot and I didn't feel like jumping in halfway to a new show when someone told me it was good.

God it's funny, Every TV character is funny. George Michael is much funnier than any 13 year old should be. His "take your daughter to work day" "gags" were pulled off so well and hes got the akward emotion thing down pat. I almost always hurt myself laughing everytime GOB does a magic show as well. The way he just runs about with a dagger in his mouth throwing cards to "The final countdown" is great!

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Yeah, George Micheal's delivery is incredibly good for an actor his age. I dunno if he has heavy coaching or is just a genuis or what.

Quoting him with text doesn't do the actor any justice. You need to see him and hear him.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

deleted scenes

Oh, that seals that purchase.

 

[Drozmight]

THe commentary is really funny too. At one point the girl says that when she kissed george michael in the pilot it was her first kiss ever... and then you hear David Cross say, "oh, and well, now you're pregnant."

 

[android]

Well since this thread was ruined because of some dumbass reporter, why don't we keep it going with our favorite quotes from the first two (of hopefully many more) seasons.

George Michael Bluth: I have Pop Pop in the attic.
Michael Bluth: The mere fact that you call making love "Pop Pop" tells me that you're not ready!

:lol

Lucille: Everyone's laughing, and riding, and cornholing except Buster

:lol

 

[bionic77]

My dream scenario is still that Fox cancels this show and NBC picks it up for a 2 year renewal and places it in a dream Thursday night slot.

I mean, everyone who watches this show seems to love it so it makes sense that it could be a ratings monster in the vein of Seinfeld and The Cosby Show if it got the right slot and marketing.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

I laughed pretty hard when the lawyer (Henry Winkler) did a fonzie throw back in the bathroom. Can't remember which episode.

My favorite Barry scene (well, in Season 1, anyway):

Michael: Great. What’s the offer?

Barry: Well, I didn’t read it. I just got it yesterday. F.Y.I., I’m trying to get back out into the dating world.

*City of Industry, CA -- one night earlier*

Barry [in car]: Hey, you’re not one of those silly men that’s dressed like a woman, are you?

Hooker: No, baby, I’m the real thing.

[drives away]

 

[bionic77]

My favorite Barry scene is when he is giving Michael legal advice from Ask Jeeves.

 

[FoneBone]

Heh, let's just post quotes. Though I still haven't seen season 2, aside from a couple episodes...

Lance: May I help you?

Tobias: Oh, I hope so. Um, I’m looking for something that says, “Dad likes leather.”

Lance: Something that says, “leather daddy”?

Tobias: Oh, is there such a thing?

 

[CajoleJuice]

I've only rented the first DVD of season 1, and I think I'm going to buy the whole season 1 set soon. It's a great show, the only reason I didn't watch it from the beginning was because I figured it'd be cancelled pretty quick anyway. One of my favorite scenes is in the very first episode where Michael is talking to GOB about his new trick. I'm not completely sure if this 100% accurate.

Michael: Is this your new trick?

GOB: Illusion. A trick is something a whore does for money.

Michael nods his head towards a crowd of children. The camera pans to the children, horrified.

GOB (smiling): Or cocaine!

The expression on GOB's face is freaking priceless.

 

[impirius]

^ "...Or candy!"

This quote in the first episode set the tone for the series, in my mind:
"Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to... set myself on fire!"

 

[Link]

Oh, that seals that purchase.

The fact that you haven't bought it already is the real crime here.

EDIT -

^ "...Or candy!"

It's "candy" in the tv version of the pilot, but "cocaine" in the extended version on the DVD.

 

[FightyF]

Or Candy was in the premiere that aired...or Cocaine was the unaired one.

I just found out that GOB's fingers [index and middle] were still backwards in the season finale!

 

[impirius]

EDIT - It's "candy" in the tv version of the pilot, but "cocaine" in the extended version on the DVD.

Huh... whaddaya know!

 

[Mama Smurf]

Buster: “’Cause I’m an uptight... (long bleep)... Buster... (long bleep)... you old horny slut!”

:lol i must have missed the next mintue of the episode after that I wa slaughing so hard. It literally gave me a stitch.

SEASON 1 4EVaR!

 

[mj1108]

I've only rented the first DVD of season 1, and I think I'm going to buy the whole season 1 set soon.

No. No. NO. NO.

You don't THINK you are going to go buy it. You ARE going to buy it. That's all.

 

[CajoleJuice]

"Or cocaine!" is so much better.

 

[ohamsie]

From the first episode of the second season, Michael is talking to Lucille, and Buster blows Lucille's air horn. Lucille says "Yes, I have a rape horn, Michael. Because you took away my mace."

And Buster says........"Yeah, like anyone would want to “R” her." :lol

Gob: Before I forget, I'm buying a company boat... the Seaward!
Michael: You're not gettin' a boat.
Gob: *begins rock-paper-scissors* One, two, three...
Michael: Nope, not gonna do it... *chooses rock*
Gob: *chooses paper* Paper covers rock.
Michael: Fine, but rock sinks boat.
Lucille: Michael...
Michael: Mom, I'm right in the middle of something. *To Gob* Get rid of the Seaward.
Lucille: I'll leave when I'm good and ready.

Spoiler

For those who don't get it, substitute "Seaward" for "c-word".

I think "or candy" is the funnier line.

 

[Fowler]

Despite much prompting from Darknight I only just started watching Arrested Development S1 this weekend. Holy crap, it does indeed rock. It's just so damned good. I don't really have much else to say because it's just really good. And everyone rocks. And it's good. Like, really good.

to compare this show to the crap that is Seinfeld is blasphemy. Arrested Development is a million times better than that trite crap.

Oh and AD better not be on NBC. I hate nbc.

Tobias: And second-of-ly, I know you’re the big marriage expert. Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot. Your wife is dead.

 

[ohamsie]

Tobias: And second-of-ly, I know you’re the big marriage expert. Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot. Your wife is dead.

:lol

Just watched that episode last night with some friends who hadn't seen season 2 yet

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Publicist: (about Michael) He's the only one here that's handsome, successful and straight.
Tobias: Well that leaves me out...wait, she did say single right? I heard single.

:lol

 

[Mike Works]

Tobias: And second-of-ly, I know you’re the big marriage expert. Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot. Your wife is dead.

:lol

I love the awkward pause after that when he half realizes that what he said was terrible.

 

[Cathcart]

I GOT CHILDREN ALL OVER TOWN!!!!!

 

[Guzim]

Lindsay: No, no you have to go, so when men find out we’re in an open relationship, they’ll see you’re no threat. People hear the name Tobias, they think— big black guy.

Tobias: Well, obviously, I’m not a big guy. I’m not a Carl Weathers, par example.

 

[Drozmight]

Tom Jane as a homless guy: I just want my kids back.

 

[Drozmight]

From the deleted scenes of Shock and Aww

Lindsay, pounding on the door: George Michael open up! I want you to need me!

 

[mas9055]

Pray to God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Whoever the hell it is you believe in that this show is renewed for another season. For god's sake; it won an emmy for Best comedy! Best fucking comedy? And it's not automatically renewed? Damn Fox...

 

[Coop]

Michael: Look, I don’t want your forgiveness, Dad. I want the guy with the one arm and the fake blood. J. Walter Weatherman. How do I get a hold of him?

George, Sr.: Well, he’s, uh, dead. You killed him when you left the door open with the air conditioner on.



Michael: You stay on top of her, buddy. Do not be afraid to ride her. Hard.

Dr. Fishman: Yes, he’s lost his left hand. So he’s going to be “all right.”

Lucille: You son of a bitch. I hate this doctor!

Lindsay: How do we keep getting this guy?

Michael: Mom, he’s a very literal man.

Dr. Fishman: Yes, that’s more the way I would take the news.


And one of my favorite gob scenes

G.O.B.: I’ll handle this one, Michael. Don’t you worry. It will take a lot more than a heart attack to kill that old bear. Old bear! He likes the honey. He never got a chance to see my bee business take off.

Michael: Come on, now, Dad’s going to be around another 30 years, G.O.B. Your business, uh, might not.

G.O.B.: You’re a good brother, Michael. Heart attack never stopped old Big Bear.

Haha. You can tell that GOB is about to crack up at any moment in that scene too.

AD quote threads are just so much fun.

Wayne Jarvis: Well, I’m a professional. I am serious, and I’m a professional.

Michael: That’s fantastic. So, how long have you been...?

Wayne Jarvis: I also don’t like small talk.

Michael: No?

Wayne Jarvis: I find that unprofessional.

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Wayne Jarvis: Why should I be billing you for small talk when I’m enjoying it as much as you are?

Michael: Then this must be a freebie, ’cause I’m having a ball.

Wayne Jarvis: (Chuckles.) When you’re ready to get serious, give me a call.

Michael: No, no. No, no. I-I’m sorry. I’m-I’m sorry. I’m serious. I’m ready.

Wayne Jarvis: Good. If you retain my services, I will get your father out of jail, and we will be countersuing before the end of the year. We’re going to get this company’s name back to where it started.

Michael: Or hopefully higher.

Wayne Jarvis: I didn’t say that. Don’t hold me to that.

Michael: I won’t, and I appreciate that to a wonderful degree. My mother is on her way up here, and-and she’s, uh, resistant to the idea of hiring a new attorney. If she even sees you, she probably won’t come in the room.

Wayne Jarvis: I shall duck behind the couch.

Michael: What a pro.
