‘Arrested Development’ Cast to Reunite

09.21.11 Written by Matt

Ordinarily I wouldn’t have anything to say about the New Yorker, because I’m not particularly interested in reading 12,000-word articles about opera in China. But this year’s New Yorker Festival has something noteworthy: a reunion of the cast of “Arrested Development.”

On Sunday, October 2nd, Nancy Franklin will moderate an exclusive “Bluth family reunion” panel, featuring the creator of “Arrested Development,” Mitchell Hurwitz, and the cast: Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, David Cross, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jessica Walter.

Tickets sold out for the panel almost immediately, as there are countless fans of the show who plan to go solely for the Q&A portion of the panel, which is going to sound exactly like this: “What’s the status of the Arrested Development movie?” “Is the script done for Arrested Development movie?” “When could you start filming the Arrested Development movie?” And “Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?”

THIS IS FUNNY. ABC WANTS TO CANCEL IT.

Even though I spend all my day writing about how I hate or love (usually hate) various things on TV, I try to stay away from telling you what YOU should like it. The whole “YOU HAVE TO WATCH THIS!” or “SAVE THIS SHOW!” thing feels way too much like cheerleading to me, and I’m way too apathetic and heterosexual for that.

better-off-ted1Nevertheless, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out — once again — the unfathomable buffoonery of ABC’s handling of “Better Off Ted,” a funny and original sitcom that ABC has consistently hidden in its lineup and burned off new episodes in little-watched time slots even though it has a half-hour slot open in its queue of successful Wednesday night comedies.

Anyway, all of this is a long-winded way of introducing the above gag reel, in which the employees of Veridian are required to swear at each other due to a typo on a memo. It’s excellent; there’s some really creative swearing in there — and that’s a compliment I don’t just go out handing to anyone. I think the show’s writers might read KSK.
