A New Season of Arrested Development?!
Netflix And Showtime Eye Potential New ‘Arrested Development’ Limited Series
Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurtwitz dropped another bombshell today, telling a panel at The New Yorker Festival that he plans to bring the Emmy-winning series back to television for a limited 9-10 episode run before proceeding with the long-gestating Arrested Development movie. He didn’t specify where the potential series would air as it doesn’t necessarily have to run on Fox, which carried the mothership series. I hear that 20th Century Fox TV, which co-produced Arrested Development with Imagine TV, has had talks with Netflix, which has been on the hunt for original programming, and Showtime, whose new entertainment president David Nevins shepherded Arrested Development when he ran Imagine TV and served as an executive producer on the cult series. 20th TV declined comment. According to attendees at the panel, where Hurwitz was joined by series stars Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Portia de Rossi, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross, Alia Shawkat and Jessica Walter, Hurwitz laid out his plan to have each installment focus on a different member of the Bluth clan. Bateman later weighed in on the announcement on Twitter. “It’s true,” he wrote. “We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!” That would mean launching the follow-up limited series on the 10th anniversary of the original, which premiered in 2003 and ran on Fox for 3 seasons. |

'Arrested Development': Ron Howard on his guest spot, playing the narrator and... Bluth holiday specials?
Ron Howard isn’t just the folksy narrator who ties it all together on Arrested Development — he’s one of the show’s executive producers and biggest champions who helped bring the 2003-2006 cult comedy back to life. (Netflix will unleash fifteen new episodes at 3:01 am ET/midnight PT.) “Having been around enough shows, I just recognized that there was something so entirely unique about this combination of a brilliant cast and a creator/showrunner [Mitchell Hurwitz] who was at his very best writing for those characters,” says the Imagine Entertainment co-founder and former Happy Days star, who has directed such films as Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind. “I just lamented its passing in a big way. So I was always interested in trying to fan the flame.” Here, Howard warms up on a variety of Arrested topics. On one early possibility he discussed with Hurwitz for a reboot of Arrested Quote:

Watched the first 4. Other than a noticeable lack of much GOB, the humor is still quite good.

June 5th is when I'm gonna start watching this. I haven't had xbox live in about 6 months so neither have I had netflix, since that is THE netflix watching machine. Gay you have to pay for xbox gold to get it, but I'm sure that was their agreement.
June 5th is my last day of Direct TV. I decided to say **** them, they keep raising prices, it's $80 per month for basic cable. So I did some math, do I need basic cable that badly? no I don't. All in all, this move will have saved me about $800 after a year. So, it's good enough for me. DTV offered me free sunday ticket this year to stay if I signed another 1 year agreement. I told them if they removed the 1 year agreement, I will stay at least until the football season is over and probably more because I will have appreciated that, but they wouldn't do it without the contract so I'm like "well, it's up to you, without the contract I stay, with it, you lose me." They chose to lose me. **** em. |

Watched them all. Left me wanting more.
I'll probably work through them again to see what I missed the first time around. |
