On top of the Emmy awards and nominations, the critics' undying love, and a small but ravenous legion of fans, Arrested Development now has one more beautiful achievement to parade around: it is one of the many Fox shows that top a list of TV programming that a parents group deems distasteful. The fact that it's not #1 shows that they didn't even watch the show - no other program on TV has gotten away with a line like Tobias' recent outburst "I can just taste the meaty leading man parts in my mouth!" and repeated mentions in season 2 of how he "blue himself." If they missed that or somehow didn't think it was offensive, perhaps the show really is too subtly subversive. Either way, congratulations, Arrested Development! You know what they say about "bad" publicity . . . let's hope it really is true.

all you need to know about this -

They did a "top ten best shows for families" as well...

Not only are the top 2 those inspirational-renovation-schlockfests, but they only came up with a top 9!!!

I guess it's easier to come up with 10 shows that offend, but not 10 shows that are good for kids/families to watch...

Tobias Fünke: [as Mrs. Featherbottom] O-kay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?
[laughs]
Tobias Fünke: Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a *sausage* in the mouth.
Michael: We just call it a sausage.

Tobias Fünke: [on tape] ... even if it means me taking a chubby, I will suck it up.
Tobias Fünke: Nothing wrong with that.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] Oh, I've been in the film business for a while, but I just can't seem to get one in the can.
Tobias Fünke: It's out of context.
Tobias Fünke: [on tape] I wouldn't mind kissing that man between the cheeks, so to speak.
Narrator: ...and he realized there is something distinct about the way he speaks.
Tobias Fünke: Tobias, you blowhard!



BRILLIANT
