[They’ve hit a snag:](http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/02/12/with-arrested-movie-on-arnett-asks-have-you-seen-my-puppet/)

> [@](#):
>
> The beloved show was unique not only because it was so funny, but in that all the cast members genuinely liked each other. So all indications are that the entire team — from Bateman and Arnett to Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Michael Cera — would return for series mastermind Mitchell Hurwitz.
> 
> The whereabouts of one key cast member, however, remain uncertain. I’m speaking, of course, about G.O.B.’s politically incorrect puppet, Franklin Delano Bluth…
> 
> After the show’s 2006 cancellation, Fox used an eBay account to auction off such memorable _AD_ items as Buster’s prosthetic hand, G.O.B.’s Segway and Lucille’s dining room set. While no one seems to know whether Franklin himself was sold, his Adidas sneakers ($45), overalls ($27), shirt ($152) and Franklin Comes Alive album ($326) are long gone.
> 
> So, before the movie starts filming, Arnett hopes someone will help him locate his naked, tuneless puppet.

Can’t wait. 😃
