Arrested Development 2/8

"See, that's the problem with this relationship. You always mix up your mother with everything."
"No no no, it's the complete opposite. I'm leaving my mother and you're replacing her."

That was probably the funniest tv show I've seen all season. I was laughing like non-stop during the first half.

The addition of Carl Weathers has only strengthened the cast.

No never-nude in the DSM IV.

In case some of you haven't heard, they've added Julia Louis-Dreyfus for some episodes later in this season. She plays a lawyer or something.

LOVED the shot of the DSM IV for proof

And I loved the quest for the mysterios "Hermanio" : "He's Hermano? That son of a bitch!"

I just read that Julia Louis-Dreyfus turned the role down over money. That's her second misguided decision over $$$ recently. Julia, baby, the offers aren't coming in; why not have some fun?

Nope, she's doing it now

From last Monday
www.tvguide.com

GET OUT!: Seinfeld vet Julia Louis-Dreyfus is joining the cast of Fox's Arrested Development for a two-episode arc later this season. She'll play a blind attorney assigned to prosecute Jeffrey Tambor's jailed patriarch. As reported in the new issue of TV Guide magazine (on sale Monday), the former Watching Ellie star initially turned down the gig when — according to sources — producers wouldn't meet her salary demands. (Her manager says there were "many reasons" her client initially nixed the deal.) Arrested execs had been actively courting several big-name actresses to take over the role when word came that Louis-Dreyfus had come to her senses.

Using the Predator clip to "remind us" of Carl Weathers was priceless.

"I'd like this family to be in healthy relationships. Now, I'll go sleep with my daughter, and you'll go sleep with my husband."

That Predator (1987) clip was priceless.

The funny thing about the Predator clip, is the show had to be listed as PG-LV. The violence simply because we get to see Carl Weathers arm get shot off.

hilarious as always; only thing that ticked me off was Fox's idiotic promos made it look like Tobias' 'never nude' thing would be focus of show instead of like barely one scene. Lame-os.

We're just two adults getting our stew on.

Hate to be nit picky but I think that's even funnier!

Thanks for the correction! I knew that what I said was somehow wrong.

I love this show, but why do they do a recap of previous events each episode (describing gob and marta and the relationship.. and the never nude thing)

because alot of the jokes in the current episode play off those old jokes.

Carl Weathers and his stew commentary was priceless.
