... my latest obsession.

I've powered through almost all of season 1 in the past week and am going to go out and buy season 2 as soon as I've finished with the first.

Gob is a work of genius.

Many other fans here?

Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with your brother-in-law.

Gob: You're in love with your own brother? The one in the army?

Wife Of Gob: No, your sister's husband.

Gob: Michael? Michael!

Wife Of Gob: No, that's your sister's brother.

Gob: No, I'm my sister's brother. You're in love with me - me.

Wife Of Gob: I'm in love with Tobias.

Gob: My brother-in-law?

Wife Of Gob: I know it can never be, so I'm leaving. I'm enlisting in the army.

Gob: To be with your brother ..

Wife Of Gob: No!

Gob making the family's boat "disappear" for the Girls With Low Self-Esteem video is one of the funniest things I've ever seen

Arrested Development to return
New series and film on the cards
Arrested Development to return

Cult American sitcom Arrested Development is set to return for one more series and a movie, creator Mitch Hurwitz has revealed.

Speaking at the New Yorker festival tonight, he said the series and the movie will be filmed in the autumn of 2012.

There will be nine or ten episodes, each one focussing on what a particular member of the wealthy yet dysfunctional Bluth family has been up to in the six years since the series has been on air. It will then be followed by the long-awaited movie.

He broke the news at a cast reunion event that brought together stars Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, David Cross, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Alia Shawkat, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jessica Walter.

The show ran on Fox from 2003 to 2006, but its ratings never lived up to critical acclaim. Nonetheless the show continues to be aired on ABC2

The possibility of a movie was referenced in the final episode, but plans have hit a number of hurdles over the past years.

Rumours of a movie spin-off have been swirling since around 2008, when Bateman and Tambor revealed they had been approached about the possibility.
