I've made a huge mistake by David Cloverfield	Mar 12th, 2008 11:57:42 AM
Fox will fuck it up.
Hurwitz & Apatow by methosb	Mar 12th, 2008 12:00:33 PM
What is wrong with these two? They get fucked by Fox then they come back for more.

Maybe there is a God!

This is some bruhaha.
hahaha by haggardatbest	Mar 12th, 2008 12:45:54 PM
It appears I am not the only one who heard Ben Stern's voice when I read the title of this article. I loved Arrested Development dearly and I look forward to anything and everything that Hurwitz is involved in. Can't wait for the movie, if it ever gets made. Oh, and baba booey to you all.

First thing i thought too! LOL

teachers by Dradis Contact	Mar 12th, 2008 01:51:04 PM
I teach high school and it would be funny to see a show get it right. The abysmal Boston Public was not a show about teaching so much as Education Policy where each character was standing in for a Type. Mr. Harper wasn't just the principal, he was City High School Principals Across America. And also why would Hurwitz deal with Fox again?
Uh, The Biavians, Uhh, Have a Saying by Joelseph01	Mar 12th, 2008 01:53:10 PM
You fucking dork! Riley Martin for President, in 08 - The Screed Party.
So fucking glad he's writing again... by DanielKurland	Mar 12th, 2008 02:51:30 PM
It blows my mind that his ABC sitcom with Tambour and Christopher Guest was not even PICKED UP. Very excited about this, but I don't see why he's so eager to be working with Fox again...
Fox gave AD 3 seasons. by Rev. Slappy	Mar 12th, 2008 03:07:44 PM
Fox has fucked over a lot of shows (Drive comes to my mind first) but they did give AD 3 seasons when it drew terrible ratings. So what's this about a feature version of it? That is great news.
Dradis by Rev. Slappy	Mar 12th, 2008 03:09:09 PM
I was a high school English teacher for 10 years and in my estimation nothing has gotten it right more than the movie Election.
I'll watch anything this guy puts out BUT by mayorofsimpleton	Mar 12th, 2008 03:21:10 PM
if it's a cartoon on Fox I automatically expect it to get moved around, pre-empted, cancelled or get no respect, a la King of the Hill, Futurama, Family Guy. Look - what the hell ELSE do they have to put on? They should be drooling for anything by the guy who gave us Arrested Development. Dummies.
So, they want to turn a live action series by Violet Grey	Mar 12th, 2008 03:36:38 PM
Into an animated one for prime time? Did someone drop a paradigm(shift) on the network heads or have they just started recruiting executives off of Skid Row?
Cartoons of Live-Action Shows by Jonas Grumpy	Mar 12th, 2008 04:07:36 PM
Ah, this takes me back to my '70s childhood, when so many prime-time live-action hit shows had corresponding Saturday morning animated counterparts. Among others, "Jeannie," "Emergency +4," "The New Adventures of Gilligan," "The Brady Kids," "The Partridge Family in Outer Space," and some other space-travel-type show based on a former series, starring the original actors, but I forget the name.
FOX again?! by Megalomatthew	Mar 12th, 2008 04:07:37 PM
I mean, COME ON!
Moichandising! by Jonas Grumpy	Mar 12th, 2008 04:11:33 PM
Why is the decision to greenlight this being made after a mere table read? Shouldn't they also be looking at character designs so that the crack team of Fox merchandisers can best determine what sort of action figures, keychains, T-shirts, underwear, breakfast cereals, and other tchotchkes can be mined from the source material? All of which should have characters spouting catchphrases full of attitude, irony, sarcasm, pith, and other verbiage.
The original Australian series was FUCKING TERRIBLE. by Paul T. Ryan	Mar 12th, 2008 04:20:48 PM
....Though nearly all Aussie sitcoms (save Mother and Son, Kath and Kim and, er, um....) are bad. If Hurwitz can polish this turd, it'll be a miracle.
What is a 'netlet', Herc? by TheRealRatigan	Mar 12th, 2008 05:18:15 PM
What a snide, snobby snark you are.
A Ben & Ray Show would be the bees fucking knees by ianrewel	Mar 12th, 2008 06:44:14 PM
nothing beats smart and cool older people, specially if they're jewie. If they can'T get them Kelly Bishop should reprise her role as Ray, shes a fucking cougar
I'm still boycotting FOX by CherryValance	Mar 12th, 2008 06:56:00 PM
for cancelling AD. How the hell is this supposed to work? If it gets picked up I won't know what to do. haha
CherryValance by Ashok0	Mar 12th, 2008 07:08:12 PM
If it does get picked up... start a petition.
Paul T. Ryan by Multiplex	Mar 12th, 2008 09:28:51 PM
The show may have sucked, but it's a great premise! Have a little faith in the guy.
Jesus by ryandowneyjr	Mar 12th, 2008 09:57:55 PM
I dont even remember this show, thats how amazing it was. Then again, almost all Australia comedy, drama and movies tends to suck a lot of donkey cock.
Caged Wisdom saved MY LIFE! by eggbeater	Mar 12th, 2008 10:36:49 PM
Faith is a fact.
White women generally don't have sex with black men by FiendishMilt37	Mar 13th, 2008 05:22:18 AM
I sincerely apologize. I am not a racist.
Multiplex by Paul T. Ryan	Mar 13th, 2008 04:42:48 PM
Oh I have confidence in Hurwitz (I've seen every ep of AD at least three times), I just hate seeing hack Aussie comic writers being rewarded for mediocrity...
So what all the stories here at AICN are saying is... by Photoman	Mar 13th, 2008 07:15:55 PM
Just bypass this site and go read The Hollywood Reporter site because it seems all the news here is just reposts from there. Thanks guys, it was sort-of fun while it lasted.
