I'm an Arrested Development fan, I'm cautiously optimistic.

'Cautiously optimistic' perfectly describes my attitude to this. I can't get all that excited after months of "hay guise, they're making an arrested development movie!", "No seriously they are still planning to make a movie", "Arrested development movie "looks promising"", etc..

I'll save the losing-my-shit for when it is playing on a screen in front of me, and not a second sooner.

If I see a legit trailer. That's when I'll get excited.

Click I couldn't find the picture I was talking about, but here is a tweet where he sortoff cofirms it. But now that i'm thinking about it, you might be quoting AD >_<

Should have left it alone. No good will come of this, only disappointment.

I agree. They hastily closed the story, how could it continue? There probably were a bunch of jokes that would have been referenced to in later episodes but can't because of the way it ended. They should have just left it open and us wondering.

I was thinking to myself the same thing. Between the age difference for Michael Jr and Maybe, and the long gap for writing I'm not sure if they will actually be able to pick it back up with the same magic it once had. At least they will be able to get all the original characters back though, if they had to recast one or two members that would pretty much ruin it for me.

Yeah I think its going to be good, im just curious as to how theyre going to start the show back up considering how long its been lol

By doing an episode per character dealing with what that character has been doing for the last five years.

I'm so excited that I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run. Now I have somewhat of a mess on my hands.

This reminds me of that episode of Human Giant where they had the clown for the kid's party who was also an exterminator, complete with spray can of chemicals.

This is most definitely not going to be a huge mistake.

I'm some mixture of those kids, the nintendo 64 freakout kid, and doing this.

As excited as I am, part of me is worried that it could destroy the legacy Arrested Development left behind.

In my opinion, part of what made the show so great was the fact that it ended on a high, and wrapped up all the story lines. It didn't turn into a shitpile of piss poor writing and toilet humor like so many other shows, and that's why AD is remebered so fondly and has a cult status. Trying to milk it for some more could do some harm to that cult status if they screw it up.

It's like trying to fix something thats perfect and unbroken, only to break it in the process and then have those broken shards shoot into the eyes of you and your entire family.

Its always weird to me, that when they are talking about the next season not even filming until next summer, that a good number of AD fans will die between now and when it airs, and never get to see the show.

What the fuck? Are you planning something we should know about?

[–]goalieman392 2 points3 points ago

[–]PopeJohnPaulII 1 point2 points ago

Filming next summer... perhaps airing in the fall... If they plan it perfectly the movie will immediately follow... "Christmas blockbuster"... carry the two... DECEMBER 2012!

Don't you see! December 2012 will be the end of the world, having finally created his Magnum Opus the lord shall bring Earth as we know it to an end.

Somebody already posted this GIF in response to the AD news.

Here's the comment.

You know what's weird, I think that Gif is from X-files. But i'm not sure.

Wish I had a gif tracer so I could always figure out where the hell shit like this came from

As a fan of Arrested Development all these posts are creating too much hype which may be difficult to live up to. The best times in entertainment are the ones you have no expectations for. This way the media will defy all expectations :)

I'm in cardiac arrest from this new development that the development of Arrested Development is no longer arrested.

Until the first episode airs and they can say it's not as funny as it used to be, since the only reason they liked it was because it was unpopular.

[–]bvanman 5 points6 points ago

Yeah, you nailed it. I watch AD over and over again to give the appearance to everyone I know that I'm some sort of television hipster.

Or because it's a fucking hilarious show.
