Arrested in '09??

I am pretty excited about this potential movie. For those who know, Arrested Development was a comedy that aired on Fox from 2003-2006. I was a huge fan of the show, and was amongst the few million who were extremely disappointed when Fox canceled it (plus ran the final four episodes against the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics). To me, this show never got a real chance to build an audience, and is amongst the funniest TV shows EVER!! I think it ranks up there with Seinfeld, Cheers, Mary Tyler Moore, and The Bob Newhart Show. The show was about a rich family whose patriarch (played brilliantly by Jeffrey Tambor) was arrested for using the company as his personal piggy bank. It starred Jason Bateman, who played Michael Bluth, the "good son," who tried to be honest in his dealings. The show also featured Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, David Cross, Jessica Walter, and Michael Cera (who played possibly the most nervous kid ever). Oh, and it was narrated by Ron Howard. So, to actually hear people like Jason Bateman and Will Arnett talk openly about a movie is really exciting! I don't believe anything is really official yet, but I am one person who will probably see this movie the day it comes out. In the meantime, I think G4 still has Arrested Development reruns. Or, rent or buy the DVDs of all three seasons and check it out.
