...It's Arrested Development

Over the past week or so, I re-watched the entire series of Arrested Development. My love for it has been renewed and now I find myself plugging the show to everyone I encounter. First I just talk it up, then I offer to lend out my own DVDs, then I contemplate a kidnapping and forced watching of the show. But what about this show is so good? Well, everything. So I've decided to use this blog to plug the show as well. Every week (or whenever I feel like it) I'm going to post a classic AD video clip, quote, photo, or just a picture of a frozen banana. Let the festivities begin.

Arrested Development Classic Guest Star #1
Zach Braff

Zach Braff appears in Season 2 as Phillip Litt, producer of the popular Girls With Low Self Esteem video series. His main ambition is to get girls with low self esteem to take off their clothing on camera. He comes off as a total jerk, prompting Lindsay to create a video called Men With Low Self Esteem. When Lindsay and Tobias confront Phillip and pull his pants down for their video, they discover...

Arrested Development Classic Moment #1

Phillip Litt suffers from the same rare condition as Tobias - he is a Never Nude (that's "exactly what it sounds like")!!!! Despite Tobias's claims throughout the series that "there are dozens of us," Phillip Litt is the only other Never Nude that we encounter. The two realize that they share a rare bond and converse in their always present cut-off jean shorts. It's a beautiful (and classic) moment.

  1. I love this show so much. WHY did they cancel it? It's just so incredibly awesome and dense and the writing is just fantastic. Glad to see another fan.

    I think I'm going to plug this show to everyone I know as well from now on :D

  2. Great moment! I ran across your post while working on mine. You might enjoy my blog where I'm exploring the costume and styles of AD. Here's a post just about robes on the show!:
