ARRESTED Mastermind Hurwitz Scripts Sitcom Pilot For CBS!!

To bad we can't get more AD by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:14:30 AM
That was a truly excellent show.
Biggs by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:21:27 AM
Doesn't seem like the guy to carry a sitcom. Seems like he's better in 2 hour doses every year or so in films, not every week.
anyone else gonna post here? by bigbadbua	Sep 5th, 2008 01:25:23 AM
or just me?
Michael Cera On AD Movie: by Errockk	Sep 5th, 2008 01:25:34 AM
"I don't think I would want to see a movie of the series if I was a fan, anyway... And I don't really see a need for it if you can get the three seasons on DVD." what a tool
The pie fucker? by Mr Spork	Sep 5th, 2008 05:02:59 AM
no thanks
fuck Jason Biggs by postalpez	Sep 5th, 2008 07:17:03 AM
like the idea but can't stand his acting.
Anyang by Squashua	Sep 5th, 2008 08:50:33 AM
Sounds like a remake of AD.
Oh gee. I can't wait. by PumpyMcAss	Sep 5th, 2008 09:20:24 AM
CBS really knows comedy...if you're an incontinent senior citizen.
If it doesn't have a laugh track.... by Mo_Green	Sep 5th, 2008 09:27:56 AM
It could be could. Sadly, CBS viewers don't know when to laugh unless you inset the sound of other people laughing into the show. I can't wait until everyone who watched TV in the '70s is dead so we don't need laugh tracks anymore...
Anyone else think that sounds an awful lot like by TheSeeker7	Sep 5th, 2008 09:43:17 AM
another Arrested Development?
CBS will prune all the right-on-the-edge-of-propreity by greyspecter	Sep 5th, 2008 09:52:11 AM
out of Hurwitz's humor. When's the last time they had a funny show? the 60s?
AD did have closure by INWOsuxRED	Sep 5th, 2008 10:21:36 AM
a movie would be starting something new, and would be forced to wrap it all up in the movie. If they made one, I would see it, but I don't want them to just make a movie because some people want them to.
Is that not... by JohnSpartan	Sep 5th, 2008 10:28:27 AM
...the pitch for AD regurgitated? I'm truly concerned that AD was lightning in a bottle and Hurwitz is just going to recycle and idea that, while brilliant, ultimately couldn't sustain itself in the mass market. On a side note, just last week I was wondering when Jason Biggs was gonna show up again. Lo and behold: a new movie and a new series. Either I'm psychic or he's given us just enough time to forgive him for everything he did ten years ago.
That is exactly the pitch of arrested development by Rubiks Doob	Sep 5th, 2008 10:38:25 AM
Is this a remake? YAY!
Oh and Jason Biggs sucks ass by Rubiks Doob	Sep 5th, 2008 10:38:57 AM
and used to fuck pies but at least that was funny.

Nice to see he has range. by fiester	Sep 5th, 2008 11:16:37 AM
Hang on a sec...no he don't.
Michael Cera is a fucking tool, worst part of AD by TheWaqman	Sep 5th, 2008 11:31:19 AM
I mean worst thing to come out of AD. I hate how he's coming in all of these movies when he just plays the same boring shit over and over again. I want an AD movie. And this sitcom sounds alarmingly like another Arrested Development, but with Jason Biggs I have doubts.
So They Are Just Redoing Loves Raymond'? by Hagakure	Sep 5th, 2008 04:34:35 PM

Should have been 'Everybody Loves Raymond' by Hagakure	Sep 5th, 2008 04:35:12 PM
stupid keyboard
TheWaqman by long live the new chris	Sep 5th, 2008 04:44:05 PM
you are an idiot.
Hurwitz yes! Biggs NOOOO! by Gilkuliehe	Sep 5th, 2008 04:52:15 PM
Come on, neither Woody Allen nor Kevin Smith made the pie fucker funny, and I happen to think those two are pretty capable when it comes to laughs. In conclusion, Jason Biggs is not, and will never be, FUNNY. The end. ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT MOVIE? Count me the fuck in.
Arrested Development by haitu	Sep 5th, 2008 09:59:39 PM
Is the best sitcom ever created. You cannot argue against that and win.
fuck you "long live the new chris" by TheWaqman	Sep 5th, 2008 10:30:45 PM
You better just be calling me an idiot randomly! Because if you disagree with the fact that Michael Cera fucking stinks at acting then you are the real idiot. Yeah lets play the same character over and over and over again. Can't tell the difference in ANY of his movies so far, he just ran with his AD role.
"Well, in prison, he'll be the pie." by Darkman	Sep 6th, 2008 08:35:08 AM
Premise seems shaky, but it's Mitch Hurwitz. Should be worth a look.
I don't mind actors that "play themselves" by INWOsuxRED	Sep 6th, 2008 12:15:58 PM
in every role, as long as they're good. So far, I've liked Cera playing the same guy, and would take that character over most of what passes for films these days. He is also obviously correct that the finale of AD had closure.
Not being able to act and playing the same role by myspoonistoobig	Sep 6th, 2008 01:52:00 PM
Aren't the same thing. I have no doubt, NO DOUBT that the projects he's been in, as mediocre as all of them but Superbad may be, are far and away the best projects he's been offered since AD. Sure, he and you may both want to see him branch out, but that's the antithesis of Hollywood.
As much as I love to see Hurwitz writing... by DanielKurland	Sep 8th, 2008 11:22:08 AM
I fear this will inevitably wear him too thin and both shows could suffer in the end. It will of course also take time away from that Arrested Development movie script happening.
