Arrested Development

Sure, it may have been a shortened season with only thirteen episodes, four of which were aired during the finale night, but at least Fox gave us an ending to Arrested Development with its third and finale season.

During the third season we saw Michael fall in love with the gorgeous Rita, Tobias risk his life to keep a beautiful head of hair, learned that Lindsay was adopted, watched the boys head to Iraq, and saw and the fitting end to the three year long trial.  Oh and a nice surprise ending where the real power behind the Bluth family lied.

So while rumors continue to fly about an Arrested Development movie, you can waste your time reading them... or you can spend them on TV Fanatic reading some of the funniest Arrested Development quotes.

With over 1,000 quotes spanning the three amazing seasons, we easily have the most complete collection on the Internet.  So go ahead and vote for your favorites, as we show you some of our favorites from season three:

Michael: Hey, why don't you pop a tent in front with your cousin Maeby?
George Michael: What? No!
Maeby: I'm not really the outdoorsy type.

As we hope the constantly rumored Arrested Development finally goes into production, we're glad to know we can always go back to the DVDs on our shelves and never get sick of this cult classic.

While the critically-acclaimed show never found its audience while it was on the air, the cult-like following this show has picked up since then has certainly warranted TV Fanatic's classic tv quote treatment.

We've started off with the show's incredibly strong first season and put together the largest collection of Arrested Development quotes ever assembled on one site.  Relive your favorite moments from when we first met the Bluths with our quotes.

Whether it was discovered Tobias was a never-nude, watching the one-armed Walter Weatherman teaching the kids lessons, or just crazy Kitty flashing us, there's no funnier way to relive this show at work than browsing our quotes.

So what are you waiting for?  Oh, that's right, for us to end this post with our personal favorites:

Maeby: I'm surprised you tried out for this.
George Michael: Yeah, I just love the theater.
Maeby: That's great. I'm just doing it to kiss Steve Holt.

Maeby: But ... he's always going to be at football practice, so I'm going to have to kiss the stand-in.
