"Are those balls? Cause the last time we were here, they were balls."
A tip of the cap to Henry Winkler, playing the most hilarious character of his entire career on Arrested Development.

The entire show rules, but do you ever notice that Winkler steals every single scene he's in? A pity we don't get more of him and Tambor together.

May Arrested Development have a prosperous lay-off and, TV gods willing, we'll see it next fall.

I think Fox should air the first two seasons on FX this summer.

2. I didn't catch it, but I read a review of the show...
..that mentioned a scene in a recent episode, where you could see Henry Winkler's character in the background, jumping over a shark.

For the 2 people possibly left on earth who don't know this, the phrase "jumping the shark" has come to mean the moment when any artistic work or movement reaches the moment where it pushes things too far past the sell by date and starts declining in quality. It originated based on an episode of Happy Days where Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a shark tank with his motorcycle (or water skis...I forget).

3. Kick - So the day crew can lavish their praise on this great show
Some more brilliant dialogue...

"I've got a nice hard cot waiting for him"
"You'd do that to your own brother?"
"I said cot!"

4. So funny
I really hope there's at least a third season. It would be nice if they could just say know for sure if its the final season so they could do a hilarious series finale.

Im a dreamer.

5. I'm digging Henry Winkler again on that show
His scenes are way too short. He's hilarious. I loved when he said he was so unprepared for this case last night and turns and runs.
