Last we heard, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/05/the-latest-about-the-arrested-development-movie/">the film was actually in development</a> (a term that only loosely means what it's supposed to in Hollywood), but in the meantime, though, there is some good news - <a href="http://www.ifc.com/blogs/ifc-now/2009/10/arrested-development.php">IFC has picked up the off-network rights to <em>Arrested Development</em></a>.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/arrested-development-news-that-isnt-about-the-movie-ifc-to-air/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Arrested Development news that isn't about the movie: IFC to air series</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/arrested-development-news-that-isnt-about-the-movie-ifc-to-air/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19202601/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/20/arrested-development-news-that-isnt-about-the-movie-ifc-to-air/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Arrested Development</category><category>cable</category><category>IFC</category><category>Jason Bateman</category><category>Mitch Hurwitz</category><category>The Bluths</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:01:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Ron Howard coming back to TV to make the IRS funny</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/17/ron-howard-coming-back-to-tv-to-make-the-irs-funny/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/17/ron-howard-coming-back-to-tv-to-make-the-irs-funny/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/09/17/ron-howard-coming-back-to-tv-to-make-the-irs-funny/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comedy/" rel="tag">Other Comedy Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/pickups-and-renewals/" rel="tag">Pickups and Renewals</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="Ron Howard" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/09/ron_howard_090917.jpg" />The last time Opie got involved in a television show, we wound up with <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/arrested+development/"><em>Arrested Development</em></a>. Now he's hoping he can bring back the funny, maybe this time with ratings. FOX has picked up a penalty-heavy pilot commitment for <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i54adc2f71aebbaa4d52a84f778296227">Ron Howard's new multi-camera IRS-based sitcom</a>.<br /><br />Think of it as a classic workplace comedy modeled after the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Taxi/"><em>Taxi</em></a> formula. And we'll have the added fact that the IRS is despised by the American public. And yet, at the heart of the show is a guy who genuinely thinks he's doing something valuable and important. Beyond this character will be the typical ensemble of wacky co-workers you'd expect.<br /><br />It's oddly refreshing that this will be done in the multi-camera format; making a strong comeback of late. It's being proven that buddy and family sitcoms can still be funny in this format, so why not the workplace comedy? As much as I love <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/the-office/">The Office</a></em> and <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/30-rock/">30 Rock</a></em>, I could handle something more like <em>Taxi</em> or <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/newsradio">NewsRadio</a></em> from time to time.<p style="clear: both;

Amy Poehler" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/08/will_arnett_amy_poehler_090812.jpg" /><em>Arrested Development</em></a> was a critical darling that managed three seasons of low ratings before FOX pulled the plug. Creator Mitch Hurwitz reunited with <em>AD</em> star Will Arnett for this past season's animated disaster <em>Sit Down, Shut Up</em>. <br /><br />Now, they're reuniting with <em>AD</em> co-executive producer Jim Vallely for a third shot. This one's a live-action <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090811/tv_nm/us_arrested">single camera comedy on FOX starring Arnett</a> as a jackass. It's off to a good start; Arnett plays jackass very well.<br /><br />The premise: Arnett is rich Beverly Hills stock and falls in love with a tree-hugger who hates him and every shallow thing he stands for. Just for being live-action, I think this one has potential. Arnett is waiting for the right vehicle to make him a star, and we already know what Hurwitz is capable of. Could this be their pot of ratings gold?<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/08/13/hurwitz-and-arnett-hoping-third-time-is-the-charm-in-new-comedy/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Hurwitz and Arnett hoping third time is the charm for new comedy</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/08/13/hurwitz-and-arnett-hoping-third-time-is-the-charm-in-new-comedy/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19127778/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/08/13/hurwitz-and-arnett-hoping-third-time-is-the-charm-in-new-comedy/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>ad</category><category>amy poehler</category><category>AmyPoehler</category><category>arrested development</category><category>ArrestedDevelopment</category><category>jim vallely</category><category>JimVallely</category><category>laura prepon</category><category>LauraPrepon</category><category>mitch hurwitz</category><category>MitchHurwitz</category><category>parks and recreation</category><category>ParksAndRecreation</category><category>shut up</category><category>sit down</category><category>SitDown</category><category>that 70s show</category><category>That70sShow</category><category>will arnett</category><category>WillArnett</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:06:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>I didn't even realize there WAS an Arrested Development documentary</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/19/i-didnt-even-realize-there-was-an-arrested-development-document/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/19/i-didnt-even-realize-there-was-an-arrested-development-document/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/19/i-didnt-even-realize-there-was-an-arrested-development-document/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comedy/" rel="tag">Other Comedy Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p>Yup, there's an <a href="http://www.arresteddevelopmentdoc.com/"><em>Arrested Development </em>documentary</a>, and the trailer is below.

He says that even if he has to call Cera up on the phone and order him to be on the set, Cera will definitely be in the big-screen version of the TV show. I can picture Tambor going to Cera's house, grabbing him by the ear and dragging him to his car to go to the set. And then Cera would be blindfolded and handcuffed to the car door, and if he tries to get out, two bodyguards will punch him in the gut and tell him to shut up. Then they'll get to the set and Cera will be kept in a cage when he's not filming scenes for the movie, fed scraps of food like bagels and Pringles (Sour Cream and Onion flavored).<br /><br />Sorry, the scenario got out of hand there for a moment.<br /><br />I also have no doubt Cera will be in the movie. Of course, I never thought there would even <em>be</em> a theatrical <em>Arrested Development</em>, so I'm not exactly Kreskin when it comes to this stuff.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/01/29/cera-will-be-in-the-arrested-movie-even-if-tambor-has-to-drag-h/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1444804/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/01/29/cera-will-be-in-the-arrested-movie-even-if-tambor-has-to-drag-h/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>arrested development movie</category><category>bluth family</category><category>david cross</category><category>george michael</category><category>jason bateman</category><category>jeffrey tambor</category><category>jessica walter</category><category>michael cera</category><dc:creator>Bob Sassone</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:37:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Here's why that Arrested Development movie is being held up</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/12/26/heres-why-that-arrested-development-movie-is-being-held-up/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/12/26/heres-why-that-arrested-development-movie-is-being-held-up/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/12/26/heres-why-that-arrested-development-movie-is-being-held-up/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/tv-on-the-bigscreen/" rel="tag">TV on the Bigscreen</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="274" border="0" align="top" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2007/11/michaelcerapic.jpg" alt="Michael Cera" /><br />It does look like that <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/"><em>Arrested Development</em></a> movie will get made at some point, some way, some how. But it's not a given that every single member of the cast will be in the film. There have been many reports that the only cast member holding out is Michael Cera, who played George Michael. Is it because he doesn't want to go back to something he already finished?

Like <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Arrested-Develoment/">Arrested Develoment</a></em> a few years back, it has a rabid fan following and the critics just adore it. Unfortunately, it also has the same problem that plagued <em>AD</em>: low ratings. While those numbers did tick up during last year's strike-shortened season, the show still only averaged 6.4 million viewers, good enough for 94th place among all shows. It's also proven it does well with alternate viewing methods like online streaming and DVR recording but the networks are still struggling with how to account for that.<br /><br />If ever there was a time for Tina Fey's little show to find that bigger audience, this would be it. Sure winning the Emmy for Best Comedy for the second year in a row is great. Hell, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin took home awards for Best Actor and Actress as well this time. But even that doesn't mean anything when the ratings numbers come in. What does matter right now is Sarah Palin. Thanks to John McCain picking the one woman on the planet <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/10/01/oops-newspapers-around-the-world-use-snl-pic-as-official-palin/">who looks exactly like Tina Fey</a>, suddenly she's the most famous comedian on the planet, and that could just save her show.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/10/30/will-sarah-palin-make-30-rock-a-success-finally/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Will Sarah Palin make 30 Rock a success ... finally?</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/10/30/will-sarah-palin-make-30-rock-a-success-finally/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1357122/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/10/30/will-sarah-palin-make-30-rock-a-success-finally/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>30 rock</category><category>30Rock</category><category>alec baldwin</category><category>AlecBaldwin</category><category>amy poehler</category><category>AmyPoehler</category><category>arrested development</category><category>ArrestedDevelopment</category><category>nbc</category><category>saturday night live</category><category>SaturdayNightLive</category><category>snl</category><category>tina fey</category><category>TinaFey</category><category>tracy morgan</category><category>TracyMorgan</category><category>weekend update</category><category>WeekendUpdate</category><category>will arnett</category><category>WillArnett</category><dc:creator>Jason Hughes</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Michael Cera doesn't want to do an Arrested Development movie</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/09/09/michael-cera-doesnt-want-to-do-an-arrested-development-movie/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/09/09/michael-cera-doesnt-want-to-do-an-arrested-development-movie/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/09/09/michael-cera-doesnt-want-to-do-an-arrested-development-movie/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img hspace="4" height="235" width="200" vspace="4" border="0" align="right" alt="Cera" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/09/michaelceraradar.jpg" />Warning: the following may cause dizziness, headaches, dry mouth, and severe pain to fans of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/"><em>Arrested Development</em></a>.

Tambor joins <em>Sopranos </em>star <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/07/07/jamie-lynn-sigler-to-guest-star-on-entourage/?icid=aimDBDL3_link3-b/">Jaime-Lynn Sigler</a> and <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Gossip-Girl-s/"><em>Gossip Girl</em>'s</a> <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/05/01/leighton-meester-to-revisit-her-entourage-role/">Leighton Meester</a> on the guest star roster for <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Entourage/">Entourage</a></em>'s fifth season, premiering in September. <br /><br />While both Sigler and Meester are set to play possible love interests for everyone's favorite semi-successful actor Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier), Tambor will be throwing a wrench into their plans for love when Vince suddenly discovers his propensity for older bald dudes. Okay, that's not true at all. Fact is, there's no word on what role Tambor will be playing, or if he'll be playing himself. Regardless, it's Jeffrey Tambor, so it will be awesome. <br /><br />Since producers probably won't use my love interest idea (although I am totally copyrighting that right now, just in case) what are your opinions on Tambor's role? Should he be a studio exec? Mentor? Rival for Jaime-Lynn Sigler's affection?

The caption describing the clip said "Will Arnett - Part 1. How to get the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/"><em>Arrested Development</em></a> movie made."<br /><br /> Even if according to U.K.'s The Times, Jason Bateman confirmed that <a href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article4158139.ece">the rumored <em>Arrested Development</em> movie is definitely happening</a>, I'm not getting my hopes up too quick and I'm ready to try anything and almost everything to ensure that the Bluths appear in a movie (be it on the big screen, a DVD or a special TV movie). That being said, I clicked on the play button to listen to what Arnett had to suggest.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/24/will-arnett-tells-arrested-development-fans-to-threaten-fox/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Will Arnett tells Arrested Development fans to threaten FOX</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/24/will-arnett-tells-arrested-development-fans-to-threaten-fox/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1231999/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/24/will-arnett-tells-arrested-development-fans-to-threaten-fox/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>FOX</category><category>Jason Bateman</category><category>JasonBateman</category><category>Will Arnett</category><category>WillArnett</category><dc:creator>Isabelle Carreau</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:25:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Subtle Subtitles</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/20/subtle-subtitles/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/20/subtle-subtitles/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/20/subtle-subtitles/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/subtle-subtitles/" rel="tag">Subtle Subtitles</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/super-friends/" rel="tag">Super Friends</a></p><em>Welcome to Subtle Subtitles.

<p>(<em>S03E13</em>) <em>Originally aired February 10th, 2006 </em>-- I could roll out about a dozen clich&eacute;s when describing the series finale of <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/Arrested-Development/">Arrested Development</a></em>, but I'm honestly not sure that saying "this was the end of an era" does it enough justice. For those that own the DVD sets, take a look at the cover for season two. There's a quote from <em>Entertainment Weekly</em> on it: "Once in the history of time comes a sitcom like <em>Arrested Development</em>."</p>
<p>Too bad FOX never saw it that way. Not only did they delay the airing of the final four <em>AD</em> episodes, but when it came time to show them, they got bundled together and aired 'em in a row - on a Friday night in the middle of winter! As I've said before, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2005/12/18/in-defense-of-fox-executives/">it sucks that Emmy wins don't dictate a show's future</a>. But we really can't blame FOX because those Emmys are arguably why we were lucky enough to get three seasons period. Blame the people who watched <em>Skating with Celebrities</em> (<em>AD</em>'s time-slot replacement) instead.</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-development-arrested-series-finale-vid/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Arrested Development: Development Arrested (series finale) - VIDEO</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-development-arrested-series-finale-vid/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1222975/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-development-arrested-series-finale-vid/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Arrested Development</category><category>Development Arrested</category><category>FOX</category><category>Retro Squad</category><category>S03E13</category><category>series finale</category><category>The Bluths</category><category>video</category><dc:creator>Jonathan Toomey</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 19:02:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Arrested Development: The Easter eggs</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-the-easter-eggs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-the-easter-eggs/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/arrested-development-the-easter-eggs/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/02/cornballer.gif" alt="Arrested Development" /><em>Do not adjust your web browser.

But have you noticed all the Easter eggs featured on the show? They take the shape of props in the background, allusions to other TV series or movies, expressions, etc. If not, you may be interested in the post below where I list some of the Easter eggs featured on the show and where to find them.<br /><br />If you recently got addicted to this gem of a show, you may want to print this article out and spot the eggs the second time you watch the series. Because, let's face it, you'll want to watch it again! And again!

In honor of TV Squad's <span style="font-style: italic;">Arrested Development</span> week, let's take a look at some of the qualities that make the Bluths unique.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Drinking and Drug Problems -</span> Lucille's drinking problem is world-famous, but the other Bluths have been known to use alcohol and drugs on occasion. Lindsay had some issues with Zanatab back when she was part of "The Solution," and Buster can't get enough juice. G.O.B. frequently used roofies (known to him as forget-me-nows) on other people during his magic career. In the clip below, the Bluth siblings and Tobias got drunk to prepare themselves for an intervention. Michael only lets loose when he's drunk, and it's a wonderful thing to see. I love that he's wearing a Franklin wig.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/common-bonds-bluth-family-traits-videos/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Common bonds:  Bluth family traits - VIDEOS</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/common-bonds-bluth-family-traits-videos/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1218390/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/common-bonds-bluth-family-traits-videos/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>arrested development</category><category>ArrestedDevelopment</category><category>Jason Bateman</category><category>JasonBateman</category><category>Jeffrey Tambor</category><category>JeffreyTambor</category><category>Jessica Walter</category><category>Porta de Rossi</category><category>PortaDeRossi</category><category>Tony Hale</category><category>will arnett</category><category>WillArnett</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:42:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>GOB: The B-Roll</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="193" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/06/gob%282%29.jpg" id="img1" alt="GOB " />So, after <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/05/5-greatest-gob-moments-season-three-videos/">three seasons of GOB's greatest moments</a>, I found I had so much more to say about my favorite character. GOB has so many great lines over the course of three seasons of <em>Arrested Development</em>. Furthermore, Will Arnett does an incredible job with the delivery. To finish off my tribute to GOB, I compiled a list of some of my favorite lines from the show. One could even say it's the final countdown. <br /><br />After the jump, you have <strong>"GOB: The B-Roll."</strong> Let the eldest Bluth take you through important matters like race, women, business affairs, and family.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>GOB: The B-Roll</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1218339/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/gob-the-b-roll/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>arrested development</category><category>ArrestedDevelopment</category><category>best lines</category><category>BestLines</category><category>bluth family</category><category>BluthFamily</category><category>dialogue</category><category>GOB bluth</category><category>GobBluth</category><category>quotations</category><category>the bluths</category><category>TheBluths</category><category>will arnett</category><category>WillArnett</category><dc:creator>Kristin Sample</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:21:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>The best and the brightest:  My favorite Bluth employees - VIDEOS</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><img width="250" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="256" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2008/06/einstein6808.jpg" alt="Bob Einstein" />A high profile family like the Bluth clan requires a large staff to meet its needs. They need to keep up the image (make that <em>illusion</em>) of their lifestyle, after all. Yacht crews, maids, and Segway repairmen are basic necessities. The skilled professionals were the ones that kept the Bluths going. Here are a few of my favorites:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gene Parmesan (Martin Mull) -</span> As private eyes go, Gene was not a top-notch detective. If he spent more time investigating and less time on his disguises, he might have discovered George Sr.'s infidelity back in the day. I can't decide which is funnier: Gene's satisfied smirk whenever he took off his disguise, or Lucille's screams when he tricked her. It's a shame that Martin Mull only stuck around for a single episode. Perhaps the writers wanted to let Gene leave on high note after locating George Sr. and hanging out with G.O.B.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The best and the brightest:  My favorite Bluth employees - VIDEOS</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/1218391/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/the-best-and-the-brightest-my-favorite-bluth-employees-video/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>Arrested Development</category><category>Bob Einstein</category><category>Henry Winkler</category><category>John Michael Higgins</category><category>JohnMichaelHiggins</category><category>Judy Greer</category><category>JudyGreer</category><category>Malik Yoba</category><category>Martin Mull</category><category>MartinMull</category><category>Michael Hitchcock</category><category>Mo Collins</category><category>Scott Baio</category><category>Steve Ryan</category><dc:creator>Erin Martell</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:05:00 EST</pubDate></item><item><title>Subtle Subtitles</title><link>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/subtle-subtitles/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/subtle-subtitles/</guid><comments>http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/06/13/subtle-subtitles/#comments</comments><description><![CDATA[<p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/arrested-development/" rel="tag">Arrested Development</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/subtle-subtitles/" rel="tag">Subtle Subtitles</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/retro-squad/" rel="tag">Retro Squad</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><em>Welcome to Subtle Subtitles.
