Arrested Development Appreciation!

And Bob Loblaw's Law Blog. It's a mouthful. Lindsey's extremely thinly veiled attempts to hit on him were great. Really, everything on that show was great, it's hard to pick a bad part about it.
I only started watching this show about a month ago on Netflix, I don't watch much TV. I don't think I have seen a funnier TV show. I'm constantly laughing when I watch it.
Ever notice how the characters and even some of the plot resemble The Godfather?

Also, I remember seeing this picture that really cracked me up...
What deficit?
Yeah, I know, resurrecting a dead thread...

+1 This is really one of the great comedies of recent times, IMHO. My wife and I watched it when it was first on, I own the DVDs, and we still get a kick out of re-watching it on Netflix.

- I never actually learned to play very well
Finished watching the whole thing a few days ago.....Charlize Theron was funny and hot. Judge Reinhold was funny, Bob Loblaw was funny, the two "cousins" getting drunk on what they thought was wine and him going in head first ala pete rose was funny. When Justine Bateman was on that was funny, the whole show is funny and I like Ron Howard narrating it. The only character I had a hard time with was Will Arnetts character.
Aw, really? GOB was one of my favorite characters!
"Its called an illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money... or cocaine."
For anyone who likes Breaking Bad and AD....Breaking Development!
Breaking Development ->Couple of potty words might make it NSFW.

I love this show. I was in shock when it got canceled!
- "I just blue myself"
- I also loved when GOB chipped his tooth, and he's visiting the Dad in jail, and he says, "Son, there is a dentist here who took some liberties with his drugged up patients; I will have him take care of whatever is going on with you." Well...if you saw it, then you know how funny it was
- Also on the same "blue man" episode, there was a doctor who kept saying things that made the family think someone had died. At one point Tobias gets hit by a car or something and the doctor says "It looks like he's dead." The mother asks, "Wait, wait, wait, is he really dead or does it just 'look like' he's dead????"
"No, it just looks like he's dead; he's got blue stuff all over his body or something."
- "What do you expect, Mother? I'm half machine! I'm a monster!"
- Tobias O-kay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?
......Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a *sausage* in the mouth.
- Michael: We just call it a sausage.

Tobias: Are you calling me a coward?
Warden Stefan Gentles (James Lipton): There's only one man I've ever called a coward, and that's Brian Doyle Murray. No, what I'm calling you is a television actor.
Tobias: Ouch.

Narrator: Tobias listens to a day's worth of his own words, to see what Michael was referring to...
Tobias: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.
Tobias: It's out of context.
Tobias: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.
Tobias: Tobias, you blowhard.

Mammogram is down but I'm working manually
I think that Tobias had the best off kilter quotes and of course one of my favorites below that I like to use with my wife around as a joke.
"If I look like a man that slept with his wife, it's because I almost did."
"If I look like a man that slept with his wife, it's because I almost did."
Lucille: Michael Moore confronted me on national television.
Michael: First of all, that was not Michael Moore. That was a Michael Moore look-alike. And second it wasn't national television. It was for a bit, on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Lucille: I don't know what that is nor do I care to find out.
