> [@AndyPolley](#): > > Well…a live dove anyway. Of course GOB had to put some bread in his pants too, because you don’t want to have a hungry live dove in your pants. Well, a dove does seem to make more sense, what with the white body and cooing noises and all. 🙂 “If you feel something moving down there it’s the bird.” ---

I was cracking up at Michael’s terror-turned-to-realization, twice! “Oh my God! You shot his arm off… oh.” Later: “Oh my God! They shot Buster’s good hand off… oh.” And how Maebe is third youngest movie executive in Hollywood. ---

I also loved GOB’s use of “sir-sum-vent” again. I’d forgotten all about that joke. ---

It’s just supposed to make you wonder if two other, even younger kids might have accidentally conned their way into jobs the same way she did.

> [@kingpengvin](#): > > Anne who? Hey. I like _Egg_! As for the chances of an AD network switch, Kristin of E! says; > [@](#): > > From Courtney: Do you have any way of confirming rumors of Showtime, NBC, etc., picking up Arrested Development? > > Kristin: Rumors are circling today that it could be a 13-episode pickup by ABC. Basically, ABC and Showtime are very interested in picking up the show (as they should be), and my sense is that the show won’t go away. (Though it will go off Fox.) With Weeds and (if they get it) Arrested, Showtime could very well be the new HBO, no? Good news. And now, some spoilers of what to expect in the next few episodes. From shannon: Any idea what they’re planning for the final five episodes of Arrested? William Hung is guest starring. I’m not kidding. Bang bang! In the Jan. 9 episode (which is a full hour long–whoopee!), which also stars Justine Bateman as Nellie Bluth, he will perform at the Bluth family mock trial for the “Hung Jury.” Damn, I love that show. We’ll also see George Michael and Maebe in a wedding as bride and groom (but it’s not what you think), and Judge Reinhold will be the judge. Love. It. Love. It. Love. It! Nothing TOO spoilerific in there, but just in case. ---

Uh-oh! I meant to use a spoiler box. I’ve asked a mod to change it, but I deeply apologize to any who read it because of my mistake! ---

GOB dating Anne? Oh, I hope this is how it plays out. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arrested-development-12-19/336386.md?page=1)
