I can't imagine what kind of a clusterfuck it must have been to try and get the scenes cared for when you had the different combinations of people. While they are editing this down to 16 episodes, I can only imagine some of the footage that will get left on the cutting room floor, so to speak.
It makes sense though. Hard to get everyone from an ensemble cast like that together at the same time
Wait, they'll be interacting, just not as an entire cast. Hurwitz is just filming everything out of order, then having to splice it all together. There will be interaction, just not a lot of scenes where the entire family is together (but I'm sure there will be a couple). I don't feel any trepidation over this being a disaster at all. Not sure where all the angst is coming from.
Alan Sepinwall@sepinwall Netflix's Arrested Development sizzle reel included footage of the most important AD character of all: Carl Weathers.
Something I just thought of: Episode length. They were 22 minutes on Fox, but that was because of commercials. I wonder if they're going to go closer to 30 now, since they don't have to deal with advertisers.
@tvoti There IS an episode order that is set up to preserve the most surprises. But you CAN watch in any order. #tca13
i really cannot fathom how this show will work without most of the major characters appearing on the same episodes.
george michael, was that really you doing those moves? ive only gotten better youre still doing that?
I take it to mean it will be a dozen or so stand-alone episodes, and no season-long arc that forces you to watch the episodes in order. There will be interaction.
ladies, we have hats you have breasts. you show your breast we give you a hat ok? so if anybody wants to get back at daddy nows the time! woooooo!!!!
im sorry tobias do you work here? do i work here? i developed an eating disorder working for you michael well i never saw you at your desk well excuse me if i was too busy on my knees in front of the toilet michael
i haven't watched 30 rock from the beginning and don't watch it in order, i've just been watching like the past 2 seasons and then whenever it's on in syndication, but Gob is alec baldwin's character's nemesis in the show. this one line from this past thursday had me in tears because it was just so Gob. alec baldwin said something about Gob's character being gay and Gob responded with something along the lines of, "HA! you like sex with women....that's the gayest thing there is. Winning sex against a man, that's the straightest thing a man can do." i just absolutely lost it.
That was an awesome line. 30 Rock has been pretty damn good the past two years. Was hit and miss with me the first five seasons, but they've been on a role lately.
i lost it. that part and when alec baldwin said something along the lines of "we can just sit here and debate in our gravely voices" i lost it too. i like 30 rock, but so much in life takes me back to funny parts of arrested development.
She's definitely annoying, but I've never been a big Jenna fan either. The show succeeds in spite of them.
First off, Gob's name is Devin Banks Secondly, in the first episode he appears in, Liz says something to the effect of "If you guys need to settle it you can have a *lower voice 'talking like this off'" Thirdly, I think 30 Rock is under-appreciated big time. It's the closest format to AD there is. Finally, the best Jack-Devin moment is when they're standing incredibly close and Devin says "keep you friends close and keep your enemies so close that you're almost kissing"
Jenna doesn't piss me off though and she has some funny lines talking about her trashy past. Hazel just seems so annoying and yet they somehow put up with her. I find it hard to believe that Liz (and Jack) would take on such a disingenuous bitch as a mentee (grand-mentee).
Oh, so now you love the ten commandments. Yet you're the one who so conveniently forgot "Thou shalt protect thy Father, and honor no one above him, unless it be-eth me, thy sweet Lord".
i can't tell if this post was just a bunch of comments about the two shows or if you were lecturing me.
just an fyi - michael is the only one that will be in every episode and there is apparently only 1 or 2 scenes that feature everyone, according to the cast/crew
Do you have any idea how often you say the word "afraid"? Well, I know I did in the jacuzzi. And I apologize for that. I thought it was a pool toy.
Michael, if this is some big lecture about how we're all supposed to blah blah blah and whatever, you can save it because we all know it by heart
Man, I miss Justine Bateman as the prostitute: Please refrain from any (bleep) or (bleep) -ing or (bleep) -esting or (bleep) -eing or finger (bleep) or (bleep) or even (bleep) . And please use a (bleep) when you (bleep) me. And if any of this winds up on the internet, I will (bleep) you in the (bleep) .
Michael, I think I shall goeth shopping for it is a Tuesday! I feel the wind at my back, Michael! That was Maeby, Gob. I feel Maeby at my back, Michael! If mom calls me one more time about that, I think I might kill her! Don't you think that's a little extreme? Ok. If mom calls me two more times about that, I think I might kill her. Much better. Dad, I don't know where the money can be. I've looked everywhere. Did you check the crawlspace under the floors. Michael? What? What crawlspace under the floors? ...I said, "the cushions under the bay window." That doesn't even sound the same, dad. Spoiler I just made those up
