FOX Reairs 'Development' Pilot With New Howard Intro (August 15)
For those of you who did not get into the series the first time around, the pilot is re-airing tonight, with a new Ron Howard intro.
I just finished watching it, and I don't know what the difference is. Can anyone tell me?
FOX Reairs 'Development' Pilot With New Howard Intro
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Given the paltry audiences for FOX's critically adored "Arrested Development," it's possible that many viewers missed seeing the way it all began. Fortunately, just one month before the comedy goes for Emmy gold, FOX will rebroadcast the much-lauded premiere episode on Sunday, Aug. 15.
The first episode, fittingly titled "The Pilot," will get a special introduction from executive producer Ron "Opie" Howard and even if you've seen the episode, the introduction is guaranteed to be brand new to you.
Many of the show's Emmy nominations stemmed from that first episode, which earned nods for outstanding writing for a comedy Series (Mitch Hurwitz, outstanding directing for a comedy Series (Joe and Anthony Russo) and outstanding single-camera picture editing for a comedy Series (Lee Haxell). "Arrested Development" is also up for the outstanding comedy series Emmy.
The first episode, of course, explains how George Bluth Sr. (Emmy-nominee Jeffrey Tambor) is arrested, leaving Michael (Jason Bateman) to help pick up the pieces and try to keep his family sane.
One of the few shows in FOX's schedule to get the gift of reruns this summer, "Arrested Development" will have its second season premiere on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 8:30 p.m. ET.

It was a short intro played over the end credits of the Simpsons.
He was just sitting there and saying something to the [underline]effect of[/underline] "You've seen me in your home for the past 40 years.... now I want to show you something new.... we call it AD"
Not much, I didn't even think anything of it until this post.
