The end of Arrested Development
Jan. 19th, 2009 11:34 pmI watched the final six episodes of S3 of Arrested Development today. I think I had only seen these final few once or twice before. I had forgotten just how meta it all became after they knew they were cancelled - the 3-D scenes, the "Live" scenes, the whole HBO/Showtime plug from the characters, the "guest stars" - but all kept within character and plot. Just so very funny, very clever and very sad.
And such a sweet, sweet ending.
Also the funniest commentary ever - for Mr. F, I think, where the cast ring Jeffrey Tambor as they are doing the commentary because he's not there to do it when he was supposed to be. There's almost nothing in the commentary at all about the episode and yet you can hear the humour and warmth in the cast.
