Rejoice! Arrested Development is Actually Back!

It was before Arrested Development was even officially canceled after it’s third brilliant season when the show’s fans and creators alike tried to imagine contingency plans for how the critical darling (but ratings redheaded stepchild) could make a grand return. While fans started online petitions and grassroots promotional campaigns the writer’s filled the final episodes with meta jokes about cheap ratings stunts and a distant hope that they might be picked up by HBO or Showtime. The show did end and then… we waited. It seemed every month (and every interview with a former castmember) dropped a hint about a possible reunion. Now, finally, it’s happening.

Ten years after the show debuted on Fox we are getting a brand new 10 or 13 episode season exclusively airing on Netflix, all premiering on the same day. Employers of comedy nerds beware: there are going to be a lot of folks calling in sick to binge on all new Bluth content. I wouldn’t believe it myself, but over the past few weeks the web has been flooded with set pictures tweeted from the cast and fans alike, proving that the model home, the stair car, and even Tobias’ cut-off jean shorts will all be returning. Hallelujah. The second coming is actually upon us.

What do we know so far about this new season? The entire cast is all back, including omniscient narrator Ron Howard. Mad Men’s Jon Slattery will have a multi-episode guest arc, which is awesome because he is… well… awesome. I somehow see Roger Sterling getting along very well with Lucille Bluth over dry martinis. Each episode will apparently focus on an individual character to catch us up on their lives, but with the other character being woven in throughout. And, according to David Cross, creator Mitch Hurwitz is slathering this season with even more hidden jokes and layered plots than before, meaning the whole season will have to be watched multiple times to catch everything and tie it all together.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Long Live Arrested Development!

That’s right people: the Bluths are back! Five years after the brilliantly hilarious sitcom (it almost feels dirty to call something so good a sitcom) was canceled by Fox after 3 amazing seasons, creator Mitch Hurwitz gathered the entire cast of Arrested Development for a reunion at the New Yorker festival this weekend for a “look back” at the series. But what it really turned into was a big look forward. Before the show even finished airing the grieving hardcore comedy nerd fanbase began to hang their every hope and dream on the potential of an Arrested Development movie. Five years later, and still all we’ve gotten was word that it’s “in the works” and that “everyone is on board.” Until now.

Mitch Hurwitz announced that not only will there be an Arrested Development movie, but preceding it will be a new limited TV season! Thank you gods of television! Although Hurwitz said business deal still had to be worked out he seemed quite hopeful that it would become a reality next summer, and soon after AD stars Jason Bateman and Will Arnett both took to Twitter to confirm the news. So what can we expect of this Bluth re-birth? Hurwitz explained that each of the TV episodes will focus on one character so we can play catch up on what the last 5 years has held for them. Then the first movie can jump right into the action with the Bluths reuniting in grand fashion. And what will the action of the movie be? In typically 4th wall breaking, meta-humor Arrested Development fashion, this new movie about the Bluths will focus on the fact that there is a movie being made about the Bluths. Thus is going to be glorious.

Also, TV, one you get done reviving Arrested Development, can you move on to Party Down? Thanks!

Sisterhood of the Traveling Square Eyes

Happy Monday, blogosphere!  This week, Square Eyes is taking it to the streets.  I’m in New York City for work and spotting celebs left and right!

This past Saturday night, I had the pleasure of partying down at NYC hotspot 2A in the East Village (Note: I have no idea if this place is a hotspot).  Now who does my group and I spy across the bar but a bespectacled, facial-haired David Cross!

Spotted, East Village: never-nude Tobias Funke.  Not nude.

That was an Arrested Development ref, btdubs.  I’ve never seen Mr. Show, so don’t hold your breath for some hilars absurdist satirical joke reference thing (ew!).

Rory GilmoreOkay, so it gets better.  The Cross-man was soon joined by a party of three.  My eyes were immediately drawn to the most famous of the bunch, none other than blue-eyed, high-foreheaded Rory Gilmore!  That’s right, people, David Cross hangs out with Alexis Bledel of Gilmore Girls!!!

WTF?!  What’s he doing hanging out with that square, am I right?  I’ll tell you what!  Cross was soon smooch-attacked on all sides by his apparent gf, a plain-faced, non-famous-looking gal it took a good deal of web-surfing to identify.

David Cross & Amber TamblynGet this, folks: 44-year-old David Cross is dating Rory Gilmore’s 25-year-old Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants co-star, Amber Tamblyn, a.k.a. Joan of Arcadia!  Grody!

The Internet confirms this gossip I was lucky enough to spot IRL.  Also notable: Gilmore had an attractive, unfamous sk8r boi in tow.  Check him out here.

Exciting, right?  This town is crawling with minor celebs!  Maybe tonight we’ll see a more famous set of Traveling Pantsers.

Serena van der Woodsen and Ugly Betty, can you hear me?
