It still suprises me how funny and smart the show was.
I know the third series gets slate compared to the other 2 seasons but I'm having reservations about calling it the worst series.
Wee Britain was a weak idea but the jokes that surrounded series 3, which were set up by Wee Britain, were incredible. Mr F what an awesome running joke especially in the episode where they do the godzill impersinations and have the Japanese round.
Perfect comic timing.
I know they are proffesionals and all but....c'mon, how many times do you think they all cracked up? I bet it was too many to count.

The MR. F and Wee Britain storyline was worth it just for their odd choice to use it as a running joke referencing Being There. All culminating with the walk on water and probably one of my favorite and most patient call backs of the series.
Michael: Is that one of your tricks?
Gob: No Michael, that's not one of my tricks.
Followed by a black out for the episodes end, and then a quick return to scene.
Gob: That's one of my ILLUSIONS!
Thank goodness for Hulu, I just got to rewatch this series for my third time again and it still cracks me up.

In not watching it sooner!
Not being aware of the perceived dip of series 3, I loved all of it. The slow builds for jokes, C'MON! The 'everyone has a bad chicken impression' must have covered all three seasons! The brilliant use of in-jokes. The Home Builders Organisation don't want us? No, HBO passed, but it's Showtime! They reduced our order from 22 houses to 18? How is that going to work? We have the blueprints for all 22! (Narrator: They don't!)
So many well crafted episodes that need to be seen by everyone. I am immediately lending this to anyone in my office who will return my call!

The Bluths Are Back and Only on Netflix
Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine Television Make Historic Deal With World's Leading Internet Subscription Service to Bring Classic Series "Arrested Development" Back to Production
America's Favorite Dysfunctional Family Returns For All New Episodes Premiering The First Half Of 2013
Nov 18, 2011
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Nov. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In a landmark deal, all new episodes of the Emmy Award-winning comedy series "Arrested Development" will be coming exclusively to Netflix for its U.S. members to watch instantly, beginning in 2013.
For the first time in their histories, Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine Television will produce original first-run entertainment content for the world's leading internet subscription service, bringing back the acclaimed series to production on all new episodes five years after its cancellation.
One of Time Magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-TIME," the tale of the formerly wealthy, deeply eccentric Bluth clan aired for three seasons, 2003-2006, on Fox and was honored with the Emmy award for Outstanding Comedy Series after its first season on the air.
"Arrested Development is one of the finest American comedies in TV history and its return through Netflix is a perfect example of how we are working closely with studios and networks to provide consumers with entertainment they love," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer.
"It's also a perfect example of how broad and successful our relationship has become with Fox as we work together with their film, television, international and digital divisions on several exciting initiatives," he added.
"Netflix's bold entrance into original programming presents an exciting new opportunity for our two companies" commented Peter Levinsohn, Fox Filmed Entertainment's President of New Media & Digital Distribution. "Bringing a classic show back to production on new episodes exclusively for Netflix customers is a game changer, and illustrates the incredible potential the new digital landscape affords great content providers like Twentieth Century Fox Television and Imagine."
Commented 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Dana Walden and Gary Newman, "We build brands at this studio which are so distinctive that audiences still clamor for them years after they go off the air. 'Arrested Development' is a great example of that—it has stood the test of time. This innovative deal with Netflix represents a new business model that is extremely exciting and opens the door for a wide range of new collaborations."
"We also pride ourselves on breaking the rules at this studio, and after bringing back two canceled series – 'Family Guy' and 'Futurama'—to enormous success, we are bullish on the prospects for this brilliant series. We can't wait to get back to work with Mitch, Ron and Brian on bringing the Bluths back to America's living rooms," they added.
Said Imagine Entertainment co-founders Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, "Of all the projects we've been involved with over the years, we probably get more questions about Mitch Hurtwitz's brilliant 'Arrested Development' than any other-- everyone, ourselves included, seems to feel like the Bluths left the party a bit too soon. Bringing a series back from cancellation almost never happens, but then, 'Arrested' always was about as unconventional as they get, so it seems totally appropriate that this show that broke the mold is smashing it to pieces once again."
Added Howard, "After a long hiatus, I'm dying to finally get back to the narrator's microphone...'It's Arrested…Development.'"
The Emmy-winning comedy had its final broadcast on February 10, 2006 and concerned Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) and his eccentric family comprised of his son George Michael (Michael Cera), his father George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), his mother Lucille (Jessica Walter), his brothers George Oscar Bluth II (Will Arnett), Buster Bluth (Tony Hale) and sister Lindsay Funke (Portia de Rossi), and Lindsay's husband Tobias (David Cross) and their daughter Maeby (Alia Shawkat).
"Arrested Development" is a production of Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Mitch Hurwitz are executive producers.
