Arrest THIS Development!

[Head Mutant]

So, the best new sitcom on TV -- Arrested Development -- is getting a full second season, AND a first season DVD package in August (or so the rumors go).

I dearly love this show.

Favorite quotes:

Lucille: Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant. It just makes me want to set myself on fire.

Lucille: How much could a banana cost? Ten dollars?
Michael: You've never been to a supermarket, have you?

Michael: I'm moving to Phoenix. I got a job. [There is an awkward silence] Something you apply for and they pay you to... Never mind, I don't want to ruin the surprise.

Marta: Te Quiero.
Gob: English, please.
Marta: I love you.
Gob: Great, now I'm late.

Gob: My gut is telling me no... but my gut is also very hungry.

Tobias: I want something that says..."Dad likes leather!"
Store Clerk: So... "Leather Daddy"?

Lindsey: Nana's fine, she's been dead for six months.

Tobias: I don't do nudity! Why do you think I wear these?
George Michael: I was never really clear on that.

George Michael: Hello, Bluth Company.
George Sr.: Talk me off, honey. Talk me off.
George Michael: Talk you off what, PopPop?
George Sr.: Oh, George Michael! I thought you were - when's that voice gonna drop? Put Kitty on the phone.

Lucille: You tricked me.
Michael: I *deceived* you. "Tricked" makes it sound like we have a playful relationship.

Waitress: Plate or platter?
Lucille: I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.

George Bluth, Sr.: Michael, this is my brother! Do you know what it's like to have a sibling who has no source of income except for you?
Michael Bluth: Just one? No. No idea. It sounds wonderful, though.

Gob: Where am I? Two-thirds of a hospital room?

Gob: Are you Hermano?
Spanish actor: Como?
Gob: You're gonna be in a como, pal!

Michael: Well, it's not like you made a commitment to her or anything.
Buster: No, not a commitment... but I did refer to it as "our nausea," but that was when we were going at it pretty hot and heavy.
Michael: Well, now it's my nausea.

Michael: [to Lucille] You're giving the company to a guy who thought the blue part of a map was land?

George Michael: Say what you want about America - thirteen bucks can still get you a hell of a lot of mice!
Gob: Who said anything about America?

Michael: So this is the Aztec Tomb trick.
Gob: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money...
[sees children watching his magic]
Gob: ... or candy!

Narrator: Tobias was a never nude, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Awesome. I managed to download a lot of the episodes on bit torrent to make up for the fact that I started watching consistently only about halfway through the season, but a DVD set would rock atomic. Long live the brownish area with points.

...no other comments for Arrested Development? Where's the love, people? Who else is still filled with a disturbing amount of glee after the renewal? Or have I just "made a huge mistake?"

I missed a lot of the second season because my brother always wanted to play videogames instead of watch it. Even though he was also a fan, he said "We'll watch it when it's out on DVD," but are there even plans to make a second season DVD?
