Ever heard of a Zotgasm? I don’t think I have before last night, but I think many UC Irvine students and alumni may have all just experienced one if they are fans of

the reincarnated hit show Arrested Development. With its long awaited fourth season release on Netflix early Sunday Morning May 26th, 2013 at 12:00am, Arrested Development brought back the comical genius along with UC Irvine as one of its plot locations. By now many of us may be questioning, how much filming of Arrested Development was at UC Irvine? In this article, we’ll show off a handful of photos from Arrested Development featuring UC Irvine.

***NO SPOILERS IN THIS ARTICLE. JUST SCREEN CAPTURES OF SCENES WITH UC IRVINE ***

A few members of the Classy Deer herd are proud alumni of UC Irvine. Seeing our alma mater on such a popular show really gets us excited and adds to the joy of the viewing experience. In August 2012, photos of Michael Cera riding a Segway sporting UCI apparel hit the world wide web stirring up the entire Anteater community.

And now, almost a year after the leaked photos and after 7 years since the beginning of the series, Arrested Development was reincarnated on Netflix as a full season available to all Netflix subscribers.

Right off the bat, most native southern california residents will recognize the familiar scenery of Balboa Island and seven minutes in, we are introduced to Michael Cera’s character, George Michael’s, new home, the University of California, Irvine.

Unfortunately after a massive… “Zotgasm” of UC Irvine pride, we quickly learn that

almost all of what is supposed to be UCI is not actually in Irvine at all. For the second of hope that we actually thought loads of money would be spent working around the Irvine Company to actually film on campus…. – our hopes flew out the door.

But not to dwell on the already known concept of “movie-magic,” Anteaters are able to bask in the glory of UCI paraphernalia strewn across the set design. Yes, it’s

unfortunate that UC Irvine natives won’t be able to identify campus monuments or locations. I don’t think it ruined

the experience- in fact it was really fun spotting items that we https://www.acheterviagrafr24.com/ knew all too well when meandering the UCI Bookstore, now called, The Hill. Here are some screen captures of the scenes that show off UCI pride… ZOT ZOT!

Really digging the cello playing anteater drawing.

Really want that clock!!

Not quite the Music https://www.viagrasansordonnancefr.com/viagra-cialis/ Dept. at UCI, but love the detail!!

This shot almost had me… the sign is JUST like one at UCI.

Campus police… yep… haha no doubt a UC Irvine familiarity.

Peter the Anteater plush!!! You can buy it here!!

The rerelease of Arrested Development is a monumental piece of popular culture and media. Not only will this give UC Irvine some recognition and pride (hopefully), but it will also fall into the history books of streaming media and television. Arrested Development’s Emmy award winning three seasons on television was shockingly cancelled due to a lack of viewership in 2006. Along with original series such as House of Cards, Netflix is paving a new road for… privatized popular serial production? We can’t quite call shows like Arrested Development and House of Cards a television series anymore. In fact, these shows aren’t limited to a television anymore- but rather distributed across computers, tablets and mobile devices. Only time will tell what this means for the future of popular shows and entertainment – but it’s looking like a strong forecast for visual entertainment.

And to end this blog with a few more (out of hundreds) favorite moments from season four of Arrested Development…. here is a google car, teen-mom filmmaking and a ridiculous cameo.
