‘Arrested Development’ Season 4 premiere: did you just blue yourself?

THE BLUTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG.

Here are some photos from last night’s PREMIERE EVENT for Season 4 of Arrested Development. Season 4 will be available on Netflix, and just looking through these photos have made me so excited/nervous/happy/crazy. Like, a million AD lines popped in my head as I was looking through the pics so now I’m just all scrunched up, wanting to shout “SPRING BREAK!” at Judy Greer and “I’ve made a terrible mistake” at everyone else.

I’m not sure who will love these photos as much as me, but don’t you want to rush home and re-watch your DVDs right now? I do. I was going through the photo set going, “Come on Judy Greer, where is Judy Greer” and then she popped up and I was so happy. AND EGG IS THERE TOO!!! ANN!!! Her? But where is Lucille 2? Where is the loose seal? Where is Barry Peppercorn? Where is Mister F?! WHY CAN’T I WATCH THIS RIGHT NOW?

Oh. I’m afraid I just blue myself.

    I cannot wait! I watched the first 3 seasons on Netflix for the first time a few months ago. I love this show. I hope it lives up to the hype.

  2. GoodCapon says:

    I’M SO EXCITED!!!

    Let the chicken dance commence – kok ka kok ka kok ka kok!

  3. kibbles says:

    Wow. Didn’t know that there would be a new season 4. I’ll definitely be watching it. I had only heard about a movie being made. Is that still happening?

  4. Tiffany says:

    Really ? Her?

    Man, I cannot wait.

  5. Faye says:

    I am almost ashamed to admit how much I’m looking forward to this. Another couple asked us if we wanted to join them at their home in the Hamptons Memorial Day weekend, and I seriously want to say no because I just want to spend my weekend watching the new season. Still trying to think of a way to tell my husband this without sounding incredibly sad.

    I love how the TV “couples” are posing together here — so cute! Especially George-Michael and Maebe; I know they’re adults, but I just want to pinch their cheeks.

    I hope the season is amazing — I feel like hopes have been built up so much for this that I will feel awful if it doesn’t meet expectations. I wasn’t happy when I heard most of the characters shot episodes in isolation and not as much with each other. Oh well. Hopefully it will still be really great!

      I have to go to an in-law side family wedding in Ocean City, MD over Memorial Day weekend. You have NO idea how pissed I am.

    • GoodCapon says:

      Priorities Faye, priorities! 😉

    • Tulip Garden says:

      Celebrating my 19th wedding anniversary that weekend. I just KNOW that the riverside cabin has no NETFLIX 🙁 Oh well, I guess the hubby and I will have something else to look forward to when we get home!

    • anon33 says:

      My husband is going to a three day music festival over that weekend and says I have to wait!!! AHHHH

    • Faye says:

      Ladies, clearly there is only one way out of this dilemma: we send our husbands away and have an Arrested Development ladies’ lost weekend. Party at my place (Stacey, I’m in Baltimore, so you don’t even have too far to go from Ocean City :)).

      • Samsuzzanne says:

        Gah, I’m helping my sister in law move that weekend, but we’ll be driving from Houston to the Northeast, so can I jump out of the moving truck at Maryland & join this instead? You have no idea how disappointed I am that we’ll be on the road on AD launch day!

      • Agnes says:

        @Faye – I’m in Silver Spring!

  6. Thinker says:

    Very excited.

  7. liz_bee says:

    Aliyah Shawcat (spelling?) looks hella dope, Egg is rockin a 3rd place vibe, but what is up with Aunt Lindsey’s hair? She’s fallen quite a bit from her high school award.

    • ahoyhoy says:

      If that was directed at AD, I don’t understand it, and I won’t respond to it.

      *wink*

  8. Chrissy says:

    Oh, I am so excited and am full of love for Arrested Development.

    I am in pain at the thought of not being able to watch it all right away in May. Netflix, come to Australia!!!

    p.s. My lip just busted because I was smiling like an escaped lunatic at all these photos.

    • Mich says:

      I know! I’m in South Africa and will have to wait too. I’m hoping someone will be kind enough to YouTube it!

    • Tiffany :) says:

      “My lip just busted because I was smiling like an escaped lunatic at all these photos.”

      Lol!!! I know the feeling!

  9. Keats says:

    Oh man, Jessica Walter. No 40 year old woman should look like that.

    • j.eyre says:

      Jessica Walter is a goddess – I adore her.

      To have an AD post today, this morning is turning out to be one of the best I have had in many, many moons.

      I own all seasons – there’s room on the couch – whose coming over?

      (psst – there’s wine and chocolate covered popcorn too)

    • lucy2 says:

      Few things make me happier than an AD post, and all the guaranteed hilarious comments that come from it.

      I’m going away on vacation for most of May and was so worried it would be on while I was gone – nope, the day after I’m back! There goes my whole weekend.

      20 miles to Legoland!

      • j.eyre says:

        If you need some spending cash on holiday, there’s always money in the banana stand.

      • lucy2 says:

        good idea, j.eyre. I’m going over to Wee Britain, and I heard the bangers in the mouth are pretty pricey.

      • j.eyre says:

        Oh really, L2? Did “nothing” cancel?

        sorry – I threw the lead in line up-thread but nobody bit. Probably my favorite line.

    • Agnes says:

      @Keats. No 40-year old woman does.

    • Tim says:

      I wonder if she’s tried pesto?

  10. backwards says:

    ANYONG!

  11. Mira says:

    YAY for AD season 4. Can.not.wait.

    I love the Bluths, every one of them. And Kitty. And Maggie. And BARRY. Hope there’s lot of Barry – “Are you sure these aren’t balls? Because last time, they were balls.”

    • Keats says:

      He jumped the shark! We have to deal with that mouthful bob loblaw.

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        I saw a Barry picture, he’ll be back.

      • Mira says:

        Didn’t Tobias retain Barry as his lawyer? Also, didn’t Barry become a transvestite prostitute after being fired by Michael? Bob Loblaw represents the Bluths now but I always thought Barry “jumping the shark” was a reference to Happy Days. Correct me if I’m wrong.

        Edit – Thanks, Jo Mama. That’s awesome!

      • j.eyre says:

        Barry jumping the shark was one of the most perfect pieces of television ever made. Hyperbole be damned, I cry every time.

  12. Janet says:

    I CAN’T WAIT. This is one of 2 shows that went off the air, that I watch over and over and over again.

    The other being Third Rock From the Sun….John Lithgow….genius, comedic genuis!

  13. Maude says:

    However, she mistook the “drowsy eye” alcohol warning for a “winking-eye” alcohol suggestion.

  14. Agnes says:

    Where’s Barry Zuckercorn? At a rest stop prob.

  15. Samigirl says:

    What about Bob Lowblah? I miss his Law Blog!

  16. celebgossipgirl says:

    What about Gene Parmasean?!

    AHHHHHHH!! *Lucille scream*

    • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

      *slow wink*

      • amilu says:

        I wish we could just “like” comments here, Jo ‘Mama’ Besser. I don’t have anything to say about your reply, but I liked it and totally saw her in my head doing that. 🙂

      • lucy2 says:

        I will beg you to never make that face again.

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        The secret lab inside of my brain wishes it could base my life on her teachings.

        I don’t know if any of you have viewed the clip that’s circulating called ‘No Smoking’ but if you haven’t, find it.

  17. Holly says:

    “Get me a vodka rocks…

    Mom, it’s breakfast

    And a piece of toast!”

    (And how could I forget Franklin!!??)
    “Well, I didn’t lose him. But he’s all puckered and white.

    On the plus side, you can take him to lunch at the club now.

    That’s the kind of joke he would have loved!”

  18. Agnes says:

    Has anyone been watching Archer? You can get it on Netflix. Jessica Walters is perfection in it. Pure Lucille.

  19. amilu says:

    Jason Bateman looks AMAZING!

  20. Diana says:

    Oh God I want to see this so bad! my mother used to pee herself laughing at
    George Bluth Sr.’s life lessons with his one-armed friend! those were always priceless.

  21. Lipsy says:

    As much as I’m loving these photos, you commenters are killing me!!! <3

  22. duncecap says:

    I’m with Lipsy. You people! My love for the comments to this story rivals my love for the story.

    HERO SQUAD

  23. emma says:

    YAY!
    Maeby looks so grown up now!

  24. emma says:

    Also, do we know WHEN we can watch them?! Or are they just filming?…

  25. pandabear says:

    MY BOYFRIEND AND I LOVE THESE PICS AS MUCH AS YOU! RE-WATCHING THE WHOLE SERIES NOW ON NETFLIX!

  26. pandabear says:

    i think it comes out on MAY 14th — ONLY on netflix. the whole season comes out in/on one day. then the movie later this summer/year.

    • lucy2 says:

      I think the movie is still iffy (probably depending on how many people run to Netflix on 5/26) but if it happens it will be at least a year, I think.

      Plus they’re probably working on the Young Man and the Sea, starring Jude Law, first. 😀

  27. Thiajoka says:

    If Netflix crashes on the day of the season 4 debut, there are going to be a lot of mini-strokes all around America.

  28. Mac says:

    Oh my gosh SO exciting. I would love more AD posts or even any posts about the actors especially Jason Bateman. The actress who plays Ann grew to be so pretty, who would have thought?

  29. Ann says:

    To all of you not watching the premiere: YOU ARE MAKING A TERRIBLE MISTAKE!

  30. Seagulls says:

    LOVE AD.

  31. Holly says:

    OMG, there was a promo clip released a few days ago and I knew nothing about it; it’s hilarious!!!

    Jesus, Tony Hale has only been getting better and better. I wish I had known about this yesterday!
