Arrested Development Movie?

There was a time when TV changed lives. Perhaps you have forgotten. Or perhaps you were somehow left in the shadowy darkness of ignorance. It was called Arrested Development, and it changed the landscape of television forever - no, even more - the very landscape of human hearts who were found somehow soaking in it rays. (Especially if those hearts could personally relate with the Bluth family and their ridiculous portrayal of family dysfunction.) Yes, for a time, there was daylight entering the dark world of Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond re-runs.

But alas, after not quite three seasons, Fox shut it down. And so, with the blessed exception of The Simpsons and the The Simpsons Movie, I have spent the last couple of years shaking my fist in rage at the now-awkwardly-named, 20 Century Fox Studios. But perhaps they are finally coming to their senses. I had heard murmurs, nay, rumors afoot about the making of an Arrested Development movie. But now, apparently, there is speculation (the next step up after murmurs and rumors). And I've been out of the loop. Ladies and gentlemen, there is hope.

This is a video from quite a few months back. Opinions certainly may vary about Keith Olbermann, but I give this minute and a half an A++. Watch and hope with me...



And here's more hope from Gob Bluth (pronounced like Job in the Bible, hmmm...):



Friends, if you haven't seen this show, you should probably go get the first season right now (but skip the extended anchor - it's uncensored and not as funny; the bleeps in the anchor are way funnier.) Go buy it. Trust me. Or else I'm going to have to give it to you for Christmas.

Ross wore a turtle neck with a penguin on the collar the night before last... i'd be weary of trusting his judgement in such matters. Arrested Development movie??! HA! We'll just see about that won't we.
