Yeah Fox didn't market the show properly: They changed the schedule several times, did NOT advertise for it, and split up the seasons and the airings. They did the same thing with Firefly, both of which have since become huge cult hits - once people actually watch them, they are hooked. I admit that I missed a lot of the original airings of this show simply because I didn't know when it was on. Of course now I've seen every episode at least 3 or 4 times on Netlfix and DVD.
I don't understand all of the hate on this video. We all can here because we love Arrested Development. And it wasn't cancelled because Americans didn't get the humor. Based on the extremely large cult following the show has, Ron Howard being the American genius that conceived the show, Mitch Hurwitz being the American creator and head writer, and the cast of American actors, it wasn't America's fault. It was the shitty marketing and lack of care from FOX that caused the show to end.

LOLOLOL IT'S FUNNY CAUSE SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE CALLING HER A CUNT!!!1!! OMFG IM THE SMARTEST PERSON EVEER BECAUSE I GET THE JOKES IN THE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT! AMRECIAN'S R SO DUMB!@
@ConsoleApostate So true. I think that if the show was not on a censored network it wouldn't have been as funny. The shows writers seemed to have such a good time wrapping dirty meanings into clean phrases with many double entendres. I loved it.
@MD94Productions What about "Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia"? In my opinion, its the only other show on the same level with Arrested Development. =)
@BomaBoi "Always Sunny" is a really good show, but AD is the ONLY show I have seen countless times and there's not a single weak episode and it never ever stops being funny. If anything, I think it just gets better the more times you see it!
@Avarcirith Idk man.. I got tired after watching it twice.. And same with Always sunny.. I guess watching anything more than once is rarely fun. Yo archer is fucking hilarious haha. I jsut started watching that. I recommend it highly =) Of course its not as good as ASIP or AD. but its still a laugh
Let's compare our countries as if it has some sort of significant impact instead of shutting up and laughing at Arrested Development. Sounds much more fun to me.
Anyone else see the humor in fcukimbusy calling Americans stupid while misspelling the word 'Americans'? That's some Arrested-level humor right there.
@coldblooded... Lmao!!! You remind me of one if those guys who sit at the other side of the border asking 'us' how the 'weather is up there?' *facepalm* Btw... I am a huge fan of AD... The problem is it went over too many Americans heads to stay on air... :( Any fan should realize that...
@reclaimingkatie well that sucks for you to bad Canada's boring and unimaginative , to the point that you have to watch American tv show made by Americans and proceed to bitch when we end it.
@mpf189 - have you ever watched 'talking to americans' ??? Try watching it on YouTube. It explains how we spend our time doing a bit more productive things... Wait, don't bother watching it... You won't get the joke.
@randomaznpopper I think the original boat was called "the seaward" but GOB made it "disappear" (he blew it up) and then when he got a new boat he literally named it "the C-word" because he's an idiot. Or at least, I think thats what happened.
Was literally watching this earlier today (I only picked up the series a few months ago) and I finally understood this joke, nearly choked because i was laughing so hard xD.
In the event anyone is confused about the joke, read the description! Haha maybe just change the title of the video to "the Seaward", seems like people would have less trouble grasping the multiple layers of the joke that way
@RebirthWoWGuild I know what you mean, my brother used to watch it when I was in high school, I used to watch it with him and I thought it was funny, but I enjoy it so much more now that I'm older!
Its this joke and the one where Lindsay sits on the copy machine and says she wants a Volvo that made me go "......Wow. They just got away with that! :D"
@fcukimbusy its an american tv show dummy. It got canceled because its one of those shows if you arent with it from the beginning it wont make any sense to new viewers. So they had low ratings. It became insanely popular with dvd releases etc when we could see all the episodes and it made sense.
I AGREE 100%! Wenever i talk to people about this show and theyv'e never heard of it, i tell them it got cancelled because America wasnt ready for such a show and it was too smart a show for the audience.
@hersh23 Is that like in a brochure of things AD fans are supposed to say about the show? I can't tell you how many times I've heard that. It's a rather elitist thing to say IMO.
@fcukimbusy explain the office, parks and recreation, and community then. There's more to it then that. It had a nice long run, but it got moved all over in the times slots and it's one of those shows that is much easier to appreciate if you've been watching since day 1.
@fcukimbusy Says the Canadian...guess what, AD was created by Americans, the only thing Canadians ever created was Degrassi High..take a look at the highest rated TV shows in Canada..all American produced! American Idol is the 5th most watched show in Canada LOL..you guys are just as freaking dumb!
@fcukimbusy if only you boring old Canadians could come up with something as funny as AD, but hey you get confuse at any thing that doesn't involve a a club and an adorable baby seal.
@coldbloodid so wait, when you leave people dying at the side of the road because they cant pay their medical bills that is somehow more right than a way of living that has been going on for thousands of years? its fine to let capitalism ruin a country and a civilization? its fine to let people walk into a store and come out of it with enough ammunition to blow a store full of innocent people away? humans before some fluffy little seals.
@fcukimbusy Ironically it was the same "stupid" Americans who not only created the show, but wrote the humour as well. And meanwhile "The Simpsons", "Malcom in the Middle", "Scrubs", "The Office", "30 Rock", and "Modern Family" and countless other laugh trackless sictoms were/are huge in the ratings department. But this would be assuming you weren't too stupid to know what you're talking about. Ahh our little far less significant sisters from up north....
@fcukimbusy Yeah all non-cancelled shows have laugh tracks. Except for little unknown shows like The Simpsons, The Office, 30 Rock, Futurama, Family Guy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, etc. Those seemed to have slipped under the radar. (All these shows are still airing new episodes without a laugh track, and have outlasted AD).
The original yacht that GOB blew up was named Lucille and then he bought a boat called The Seaward in "The One Where They Build a House" because he thought he was flirting with Starla and then they have The Seaward for the remainder of the show (until Michael and George-Michael drive away in it in "Development Arrested")
man why can't they just bring this back. I'll be first in line for the movie but I want it on tv, too. I never watched it when it was on and I feel guilty now because i contributed to it getting canceled. give me another chance!
This video makes no sense without the context of the boat being named "The Seaward." Can you please add that part to the video so it will make sense to people who have never seen the show? Otherwise, it just looks like a crude joke and nothing more.
@williamherbert I decline, people who have never seen the show wouldn't be typing in The C Word Arrested Development. This was put up for fans not as a intro to the show. Also the basic premise of the joke is explained in the info.
@iCipher Fair enough but you realize that the humor is in "Seaward" and not the vulgar "C-Word." This is the equivalent of "take my wife please" without the set up to show why it's funny. As-is, it just looks like a son calling his mom a cunt. Not funny out of context.
@williamherbert No, it is funny because of the disconnect between the mother and her sons. Where her mind leaps vs the actual context. Also, the c-word refers to cancelled as well since the show was finishing. And it is still in context, anyone watching the clip can pick up they're talking about the boat while Lucille leaps to the conclusion about them calling her a c#%t. I am sure most would agree.
@al28283 Yes, I didn't say it was but the threat was there and Mitch Hurwitz made comments saying about how up in the air everything was which is why it works better with the unknown(Get rid of the c-word...see it now ?). See the DVD commentary for season 3 .
@iCipher so to get this joke I have to go and buy a dvd and watch the commentary? Nah, that's bullshit mate. Should have left in the seaward which was the actual joke
@iCipher No, the show was not finishing. This was the 2nd episode of season 2. Cancellation rumors only started really gaining ground towards the end of season 2.
@FunnyCowboyDance If you read my comments, I didn't comment that the show was cancelled at the time of this episode only that the C-Word joke took on new meaning in season 3 with the threat of cancellation, which is why I referred to Mitch Hurwitz explaining such in the season 3 DVD extras. In fact, the joke carries right into the final episode and final minutes with the metaphor of the boat/show being ferried away by the cancellation.
My favorite episode is the one when George Bluth tries to hire Andy Griffith to be his defense attorney, but Andy decides not to do it when he sees the log cabin on the Bluth truck and thinks they are making fun of him, and Ron Howard says “No One was trying make fun of Andy Griffith, I can’t make that any clearer.” Ugh so many hidden works of art in this show.
@ScrapedfromSealings You said it, so many in-jokes and hidden references. Like when Jessie the PR girl calls George Michael Opie and Ron narrates, "Jessie had gone too far and she best watch her mouth." Hey now! (I always wanted George Sr. to yell that once)
Man, that show was great, a lot of hidden jokes and stuff, hard for someone whose native language isn't English (like me), but even with that, most of the jokes were awesome and clever, not like the TV shows nowdays, when they need to tell you when to laugh. I'm hoping for a great movie too.
It took me a few seconds to get the line "I'll leave when I'm good and ready." Oh, and at some point in the series, you see a boat with the name "The Seaward" written on it, but then later on in a different episode it says "The C-Word"
@CoolJohnDog ... i think its a refference 2 how they dumbed down and explained jokes so ppl would catch on and the show wont be cancelled... this show will be like sienfeld, it will take a while 2 catch on...
The Seaward was Gob's boat... But Lucille thought they were referring to her (as in c-word, meaning cunt.) The best part of the play on words was the fact that the underlying meaning of "get rid of the c-word" was the word canceled, because the show was always on the brink of being canceled.
@DanRSL You can see it when George Michael confronts and hits GOB when he sees GOB is dating Anne. Also, it can be seen when George Michael and Michael take off in it in the final minutes leaving the rest of the Bluths to fend for themselves for once.
I didn't catch this joke the first time. That's what was brilliant about the show, there's always something new you hadn't noticed before. That's what keeps the show fresh every time you watch it.
The best AD joke of all. I watched it 3 times, and loved it all 3 times. 4 times would be too much, probably.

This video makes no sense without the context of the boat being named "The Seaward." Can you please add that part to the video so it will make sense to people who have never seen the show? Otherwise, it just looks like a crude joke and nothing more.

@williamherbert I decline, people who have never seen the show wouldn't be typing in The C Word Arrested Development. This was put up for fans not as a intro to the show. Also the basic premise of the joke is explained in the info.

@iCipher Fair enough but you realize that the humor is in "Seaward" and not the vulgar "C-Word." This is the equivalent of "take my wife please" without the set up to show why it's funny. As-is, it just looks like a son calling his mom a cunt. Not funny out of context.
williamherbert 1 year ago
@williamherbert No, it is funny because of the disconnect between the mother and her sons. Where her mind leaps vs the actual context. Also, the c-word refers to cancelled as well since the show was finishing. And it is still in context, anyone watching the clip can pick up they're talking about the boat while Lucille leaps to the conclusion about them calling her a c#%t. I am sure most would agree.

@iCipher but because it's cropped where it is, those who don't realise don't see the context and therefore don't understand!

@xXKatieVengeanceXx I'm going to work on a video with a extended scene as well as adding in GOB's fish reference.

@iCipher It wasn't being cancelled at that time.

@al28283 Yes, I didn't say it was but the threat was there and Mitch Hurwitz made comments saying about how up in the air everything was which is why it works better with the unknown(Get rid of the c-word...see it now ?). See the DVD commentary for season 3 .
iCipher 1 year ago
@iCipher so to get this joke I have to go and buy a dvd and watch the commentary? Nah, that's bullshit mate. Should have left in the seaward which was the actual joke
al28283 1 year ago
@iCipher No, the show was not finishing. This was the 2nd episode of season 2. Cancellation rumors only started really gaining ground towards the end of season 2.
FunnyCowboyDance 1 year ago
@FunnyCowboyDance If you read my comments, I didn't comment that the show was cancelled at the time of this episode only that the C-Word joke took on new meaning in season 3 with the threat of cancellation, which is why I referred to Mitch Hurwitz explaining such in the season 3 DVD extras. In fact, the joke carries right into the final episode and final minutes with the metaphor of the boat/show being ferried away by the cancellation.

@iCipher I didn't get here by typing in The C Word, i got here by typing in 'Arrested Development' and following one or two related video clips.

My favorite episode is the one when George Bluth tries to hire Andy Griffith to be his defense attorney, but Andy decides not to do it when he sees the log cabin on the Bluth truck and thinks they are making fun of him, and Ron Howard says “No One was trying make fun of Andy Griffith, I can’t make that any clearer.” Ugh so many hidden works of art in this show.

@ScrapedfromSealings You said it, so many in-jokes and hidden references. Like when Jessie the PR girl calls George Michael Opie and Ron narrates, "Jessie had gone too far and she best watch her mouth." Hey now! (I always wanted George Sr. to yell that once)

Man, that show was great, a lot of hidden jokes and stuff, hard for someone whose native language isn't English (like me), but even with that, most of the jokes were awesome and clever, not like the TV shows nowdays, when they need to tell you when to laugh. I'm hoping for a great movie too.

It took me a few seconds to get the line "I'll leave when I'm good and ready." Oh, and at some point in the series, you see a boat with the name "The Seaward" written on it, but then later on in a different episode it says "The C-Word"

@CoolJohnDog ... i think its a refference 2 how they dumbed down and explained jokes so ppl would catch on and the show wont be cancelled... this show will be like sienfeld, it will take a while 2 catch on...

The Seaward was Gob's boat... But Lucille thought they were referring to her (as in c-word, meaning cunt.) The best part of the play on words was the fact that the underlying meaning of "get rid of the c-word" was the word canceled, because the show was always on the brink of being canceled.

His boat actually WAS the "C - Word", too, right?
DanRSL 1 year ago 5
@DanRSL The first boat was "The Seaward", which is the boat Michael is talking about. His second boat is "The C-Word".

Really? I thought you only ever saw the boat once, toward the end of the series when Egg was on it.
DanRSL 1 year ago
@DanRSL You can see it when George Michael confronts and hits GOB when he sees GOB is dating Anne. Also, it can be seen when George Michael and Michael take off in it in the final minutes leaving the rest of the Bluths to fend for themselves for once.

I didn't catch this joke the first time. That's what was brilliant about the show, there's always something new you hadn't noticed before. That's what keeps the show fresh every time you watch it.
