Dammit.
So much for all the “it’s a done deal” rumors that have been circulating non-stop for the past two months. Arrested Development is dead. For real this time.

Nooooooooo!!!
What the hell? I was all set to order fucking Showtime and everything. Further proof that there is a God, and he’s a dick.

Surely you didn’t think that a witty and intelligent show would find a place on TV for more than eight seconds?

Its just as well. As much as I loved that show, nothing great lasts forever. I could see it going into rapid decline if it continued. The jokes were largely played out. Good to see it go out on a high note.

“The jokes were largely played out.”
Ummm. Not to be an asshole, but you’re completely wrong. A good example is how funny the word “Her” became after nearly 2 seasons of hilarious usage.
You say “played out”, I say “aged to perfection”.
Tobias: As you may or may not know, Lindsay and I have hit a bit of a rough patch.
Michael: Really? When did that start?
Tobias: Well, I don’t want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn’t help.

aww! Man!!!
One thing that I really liked about the show was that one of the children was supposedly fathered by the dad’s identical twin brother. Since she was having an affair with a man with the exact same DNA as her husband, there was no way to prove paternity one way or the other, and does it really matter? Delightful!

That is depressing.
Still, look on the bright side: we may not have GOB and Franklin any more, but we still have this guy.

I recently rewatched every single episode. It’s so nice to watch a show that makes you literally laugh out loud. I think we should all post some of our favorite quotes:
Gob: Franklin said some things that Whitey wasn’t ready to hear.
Michael: Didn’t you get severely beaten outside a nightclub in Torrance for that act?
Gob: Franklin said some things that African-Americany wasn’t ready to hear, either.

Bummer…That’s a real bummer, man. They should make a movie and give it an appropriate send-off. i’d buy a ticket twice and purchase the DVD.

Tobias:
Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over— an analyst and a therapist. The world’s first analrapist.
Lindsay:
Yes, and you were almost arrested for those business cards.
Tobias:
Yes. No, it did not look good on paper but I didn’t stop because of the police inquiries, I stopped to raise our little daughter. But since we have both started to grow hair in unexpected places, I suppose I shall soon be working as a leading man. And she may soon start dating.
