MUMBAI: US broadcaster Fox has announced that its Emmy winning comedy Arrested Development will kick off a new season on 7 November.
In the Notapusy episode, Rita played by guest star Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster) calls Michael played by Jason Bateman a word that he thinks means ‘weak or cowardly’ when – in the British sense – it actually means ‘sweet or gentle’.
In an effort to prove to Rita that he is not one of these, Michael tries to convince George-Michael (Michael Cera) to join him in some manly activities, but George-Michael is too busy prepping girlfriend Ann (Mae Whitman) for an “Inner-beauty Pageant” at the Church and State Fair. So Michael and his recently-discovered nephew Steve Holt (Justin Grant Wade) enter a triathlon, only to discover Gob (Will Arnett) is the one who stumbles at the finish line.
Meanwhile, George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) tries to get some good P.R. by volunteering to speak at a ‘Scared Straight’ meeting, but ends up giving advice about his prison days to the wrong group. Scott Baio returns as Bluth family attorney Bob Loblaw and Dave Thomas as Trevor.
In India the show airs on Star World.
In the Mr. F episode Michael must deal with a huge mole problem in order to salvage a major real estate deal with Japanese investors. In an effort to help Michael, Gob and Buster (Tony Hale) team up with George Sr.’s surrogate, Larry (guest star Bob Einstein), to devise a plan and save the deal, but their plan falls apart in a big way. Meanwhile, Tobias (David Cross) mistakes a CIA agent for a CAA agent and inadvertently betrays the family, and Michael makes Rita a proposal she can’t refuse. Frankie Muniz makes a cameo as himself.
