Dunno how I missed this.
K-ON! is a slice of life anime series. Nothing supernatural or crazy, but just fantastic humor and very good music, Also Pure Pure Heart so yes.
We also have a great OT thread too! Stop by anytime.

So I'm building the Season 4 "savor the flavor" thread in the same vein as this one, but I wanted to know if you guys had any good ideas for the thread title/subtitle. Something snappy but gets the point of the thread across, "The Arrested Development Season 4 Endurance Run |OT| of Savoring the Flavoring", etc...
taste the happy

It's funny, In the K-ON!! OT Thread, I've gotten at least two people there interested in watching Arrested Development because of my avatar change, so it's appropriate I recruit someone back.
Also, edited my above post for the awesome Pure Pure Heart

this is the one where they are in a band right or meet through a band at high school?
I swear I watched one episode around the same time Haruhi Season 1 was airing.

Yep. The faces they make are crazy. They have a gif for everything there just like we do for AD. It's a very fun show and they ladies are lovely.
Not sure why I never watched more than the first episode, I think I was phasing out watching anime... Unemployed next week so free time will sky rocket.

Bummer on the Unemployed part, but Free time is precious. Be sure to stop by the OT and let us know what you think! If you need more Moe, talk to Chet in that thread. lol.
I quit though :lol, im going back to school and need a vacation. More Moe?

Today's episodes: "Fakin' It" & "Family Ties"
Fakin' It
Synopsis - Judge Reinhold presides over George's mock trial, and Michael worries about a surprise witness. Meanwhile, a coma keeps Buster from testifying.
Family Ties
Synopsis - When Michael hires a woman who may be his sister, her services might be just what the company needs. Meanwhile, Buster's coma attracts the attention of a politician.
Love these episodes, tons of meta humor. "Judge, my name is."

The super meta Justine Bateman
I remember that bit. So good, but so sad at the same time. Best part of that episode for sure.

And of course the episode title being "Family Ties." I really hope Hurwitz and crew are as sharp this time around as they were 7 years ago.
his sister was playing a person who he thought was his sister.

She doesn't look so hot anymore.
The 'Nichael Bluth" birth certificate is confusing. It lists the baby's gender as Female:
It shows two X's "XX" over "Male" (although its blurry). It could have been one of the ways that that part of the birth certificate form was intended to be marked (e.g. circled, checkmark, X), rather a gender (MALE or FEMALE) typed in.
However, in your defense, XX = female.

I like this moment:
George Bluth Sr.: [Michael gets the witness list for the deposition] Who's on the list? Any blabbers?
Michael Bluth: Just one, but he wont be talking unless there's a hand inside of them.
Tobias Fünke: Oh please, even then, I wouldn't say anything.
Michael Bluth: [stunned] That's reassuring. I was talking about Franklin, actually.
I love that subtle Veronica Mars reference (off-network high school private eye drama censored by FOX.) And Nellie had some funny moments:
Nellie Bluth: [Michael finishes a long-winded boring, story] Wow, what a great story.
Narrator: It wasn't great. Nellie was just a good listener. All prostitutes are.
Narrator: And Nellie had a list of wonts.
Nellie Bluth: Please refrain from any (bleep) or (bleep) -ing or (bleep) -esting or (bleep) -eing or finger (bleep) or (bleep) or even (bleep) . And please use a (bleep) when you (bleep) me. And if any of this winds up on the internet, I will (bleep) you in the (bleep) .

Today's episode: "Exit Strategy"
Synopsis - The Bluth boys find a web of mass deception in Iraq when Michael and Buster rescue G.O.B., who was imprisoned while on a USO tour. Meanwhile, George Michael plans a Sweet 16 surprise party for Maeby.

Started watching this one late last night and wasn't able to keep myself from watching the season finale (I love the recurring, Michael waking up to random people in his bed scenes).
G.O.B. (roughly): "It makes me want to eat an ice cream cone."
Buster: "Oh, it does me me hungry for an ice cream cone."
Tony Hale's delivery is amazing.
Followed by,
"You'll have plenty of time for ice cream.. in prison. Ice cream sandwiches that is."
As if we're now to assume that prisons are synonymous with ice cream sandwiches (and they're right.)

I don't care for this episode that much but there are some great moments in it.
Michael: And you finished off the whole bottle?
Lindsay Funke: I had to, it's vodka. It goes bad once it's opened.
Michael: I think that's another of mom's fibs, like "I'll sacrifice anything for my children".
Tobias Fünke: And I am off to buy the perfect present for Maeby. Maybe she'd like a suit like this.
Narrator: That is her suit.
Tobias Fünke: They probably don't make it in a woman's.
Narrator: They only make it in a woman's.
It also had the Soup Nazi, that little Alias reference and the Notapusy callback "When I miss your lips, Ill put a fig in my mouth and think of you" which is the only redeemable thing about the Nurse Adelaide character.

I know! It was like a year or two after that and her face just changed
How about the "she was wrong about that one. It was love that made him take that step," bit?

Ok, I'll have to agree that moment was pretty funny too. But I still think she was one of the worst recurring characters of the show.

As I said a few days ago this is one of my least favorite episodes, the main reason being the family's legal problems were fixed too easily. Using Gob to find a house that could easily be located in the desert didn't make sense. The CIA agent threatening to kill the Bluth brothers off seemed like an incredibly extreme reaction to a government mistake.
It left me feeling like the message of not only the episode but for entire series is the US government is incompetent: two branches of the CIA unaware what the other is doing, evidence still available to be shredded years after the initial charges, mixed use of the Patriot Act (humor aside, Tobias' scrapbooking class is out of sorts with earlier actions of privacy intrusion).
It's a weird episode if you look at it from the larger plot of the series.

They did need Michael to discover the bombshell.. and they did use that to lampoon the notorious lack of communication between distinct departments all working in the same location. It clicked together in place okay.. but the whole episode was like the whole second half of season 3 - it felt like they were all hastily pieced together with duct tape while a sword of Damocles hung over the entire production.

Why did they need him to discover the bombshell? To convict him? If they knew it was there ahead of time you assume they'd have made sure it was a real bombshell first. Just more government incompetence.

Dawn of the final day: 22 hours remain
The last episode! "Development Arrested"
Synopsis - "Development Arrested" is the thirteenth episode of Arrested Development's third season, and the series finale. Lucille throws a yacht party to celebrate the family's recent success, but the Bluths learn the sailing is still far from smooth.
49 days ago I made a vow to start this thread and watch one episode (ish) per day until the family got back together again, and today it looks like I finally succeeded (and not without the help of a generous many thread contributors)
And a quick reminder, starting at 12:00AM Pacific/3:00AM Eastern tomorrow morning the season 4 endurance run begins right here!

I've loved every episode equally and now I'm not sad that this was the end of the original Arrested Development because the new ones are just hours away. I hope Lindsay gets to do more things in the new season as she was barely used in this one.
The following scenes of the finale are hilarious:
Tobias Fünke: I booked a wonderful spot for the party - the Queen Mary. Perhaps I should call the hot cops and tell them to come up with a more nautical theme. Hot sailors. Better yet... Hot sea...
Michael: [quickly interrupting] I like hot sailors.
Tobias Fünke: Me too.
Lucille: [flashback] Dinner's ready. We're having Lindsay chops. What? I just wanted to be ready in case some bully at school was as clever as I am.
Narrator: No bully ever would be.
Lucille: We loved her just as much as any of you normal kids. More than GOB!
