How about an Arrested Development Christmas special?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 27th 2007 3:23PM

Arrested Development dvdThat's what a reporter in England is pushing for. He has started an online petition to have the Bluths come back together for an Xmas special in 2009.

So far reporter Eddie Wrenn has 3000 signatures, which, while nice, isn't enough to get anyone's attention. But it's the first step in a campaign to get Jason Bateman, Jessica Walter, Michael Cera, Ron Howard and company to come back and do a special for fans. And that's something that's a lot more realistic than some fans who try to get a show to come back full time on some network's schedule (as if actors don't move on to other projects and are just waiting around to be called back).

More shows should do this. Not only would they please fans, I think it would show some good will towards those fans and probably increase DVD sales as well. Yeah, I can imagine an Arrested Development special every couple of years.

This show should have never been cancelled. Ever. They should have put it in a better time slot. Who's dumb idea was running it the same time as Monday Night Football???

Another brilliant show destroyed by rich old white guys.

Yes, I do love the show, and the series finale was perfect, but I don't think any amount of additional episodes could ruin the original three seasons of Arrested for me. I would love to see and hear about the Bluths yet again.

I'm torn. I love the series and was sad to see it go. However, the series finale was a perfect send-off and I wouldn't want additional eps to ruin it.

I would LOVE for this to happen. I think that Arrested Development is the best comedy series ever made. I loved it dearly, and I still miss it and wish it would've gotten the attention it rightly deserved. It would be great to see how the Bluths are doing a few years down the line. George Michael and Maebe still legally married?

I would LOVE for this to happen. Arrested Development is my favorite comedy, one of my favorite shows in general, and (since I was only in the seventh grade when it came on) the first show I followed that wasn't a cartoon or something I just watched because my dad did.
I thought it was an absolutely perfect show, and I still miss it every day, and it would just a dream come true to have it come back in some way. I would love to see how the Bluths are doing a few years down the line. George Michael and Maebe still legally married?

I think it's a bad idea. The show ended on its own terms and was about as perfect as you can get. Sure I wish it had gone on longer, but everything ends and a Christmas special would nullify the completeness it already has.

You know, it's a great idea, but I sure as hell wouldn't count on this happening.

It has a much better chance of happening, IMHO, if Mitch Hurwitz has a good idea and if some of the actors (Michael Cera and Will Arnett are in two movies this fall that look stellar) get some fame.
