If we somehow get another season out of this I really hope they can get around these schedules better. Just on a basic level, I don't see how that can be even somewhat fun to film.

Top photo has Buster's hands both in shoulder rub territory. haha.
Great interview though, the schedule does sound hectic, but everyone's so deeply involved in it, and love it. It's why I can't possibly see these new episodes being bad, Everyone is back, and it starts with Mitch.

bad gameplay lol
Ali Shawkat is on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight (it's on now).
EDIT: Wait no, that's next Monday. Dammit.

From what I've heard, that's a pretty gross exaggeration. Buzzfeed just did an article about this -- it made it seem like the green screen elements were specific and contained to mostly secondary characters and a main character. I have no idea how that end up.
Basically, the ADs and the post department of Arrested Development are doing things that have never really been done before.
No one is in first position for Arrested Development, that's what makes it so tough. Even if they do get another season (which is a huge question mark if that's even feasible), it'd be the same schtick.

I doubt it seems too strange, as it's green screen, they obviously had a stand in for Michael/Lindsey to look at, or whichever two characters. Still, it'd have been nice to have everyone together for longer. I'm also hoping for an everyone in 5th season rather than a movie.
Archer records all its dialogue separately and edits it all into an insane final product where you'd never know it- this is just that on TV.
They won't. It'll be the same thing again if we do get a 5th season. Which may not even even happen. This was born completely out of the love for the show. Like, the Assistant Directors who set the schedules for the actors are doing things that have NEVER been done before in television.
Will Arnett's show just got picked up, so he'll be gone 3 days out of the week as its a multicam. Onion News looks good at Amazon, which would kill Tambor's schedule. And then you have Bateman and Cera's film careers. Portia will inevitably get a pilot (she has for the past few seasons) and playing a numbers game, she's bound to get on one that gets picked up.
It's not going to be easy to do this again. They might as well try to do a 2 hour film if they can get everyone together.
That's a pretty silly comparison, though. That's how animation works and that's what animation is built on. Part of sitcoms is the ability to riff and improvise off of other actors. That will inevitably lost in the green screening, though it doesn't seem like it was a widespread practice.
Hype train stalling as it nears the station...
High hopes, low expectations. That's what I'll practice for the remaining days.
But guaranteed there are going to be a TON of disappointed people. Even if it's great stuff. I'm thinking it might be underwhelming for many at first, but will be better on repeat viewings.

Oh my god, I just saw the first tv commercial for the new season on Cartoon Network.
Aweeeesome.
Yep, Even for fans of the show, first watchings of AD are typically underwhelming as jokes set up jokes later, not to forget that a ton of this content is just setting up jokes for the potential movie/new series. I'm afraid too many people are going to be expecting to have their sides hurt laughing, when for this format that's not completely the case.

I don't understand why Maeby kissed George Michael twice in the season 2 finale. Through the whole season 1 and 2 Maeby made 0 romantic advances, verbal or physical towards George Michael. Then George Michael says something nice then it comes out all of a sudden. Did I miss something?

Why is this in spoilers for fuck sake the show has been out over 7 years COME ON.
But in all seriousness, George Michael is just a really nice guy, and I wouldnt put it past maeby to have feelings for him.
Because I am a dumb dumb who started watching the show 3 weeks ago.
Who's Franklin?
