Some say it’s the most popular sitcom from the 2000s. Others deem it has a cult following. Either way, Arrested Development has become a phenomenon among its fans – a show that, while created by Mitchell Hurwitz, is driven mainly by Ron Howard. Taking the conception of filming a sitcom using the style of reality television, and littering the show with pop culture references (as well as its own memes that it develops over time), Arrested Development is an amusing viewing experience, though overrated.

The series takes on the concept of "riches to rags", of a wealthy family that fall on bad times when their father George Bluth (the CEO, played by Jeffrey Tambor) is arrested by the SEC. Taking a massive hit to the company, son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) takes on the responsibility of bringing the business back to profitability while trying to keep his family together.

The trailer for The To Do List opens with Aubrey Plaza sarcastically pitching that the film is not like any ordinary rom-com that generally finds an ensemble cast playing through a stale plot. A few seconds later into the trailer and we start to see that she isn’t lying at all. The first red band trailer for Maggie Carey‘s The To Do List has arrived online and it has a chance to be one of the best comedies of 2013. So check out the NSFW red band trailer below.

Carey may not be a household name, but you may have seen her works on NBC’s Parks and Recreation and Funny or Die. The To Do List focuses on Brandy Klark (Aubrey Plaza), A-Type personality high school senior creating a list of risqué acts that she missed out on and intends to complete before she sets off for college.

Fans of the canceled cult hit Arrested Development have been awaiting this day for a long, long time. Today, the show officially goes back into production on brand new episodes, which will be made available through Netflix instead of on your TVs.

Even better, it’s being reported that each and every one of the show’s original cast have entered into final negotiations to return whenever everything gets situation and actual filming is ready to begin. This includes Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, and Tony Hale.
