A HUMONGOUS LOSS-lol No one from that show is doing anything BIG right now so you know it would be a waste

The only castmember which is still doing lots of new stuff is Jason Bateman and there might be a little chance for a DVD release if he gets more famous.
We will see...

I don't see that happening. Jason Bateman has played pretty much the exact same character in everything he has done in his post-It's Your Move/Silver Spoons life.

The Hogan Family. Arrested Development. Juno. It's all the same nice guy who thinks he's a little better than those around him.

Don't get me wrong. I'll be one of the first to support the claim that Arrested Development is one of the most underrated -- if not one of the best -- shows of the past twenty years. I think Jason Bateman's great...I just don't see his career going much further than it's gone already.

Definitely not far enough to warrant a release of this show.

I agree, no money to be made in releasing this show

Wow... lots of nay-sayers here talking about the lack of $$$ to be made by offering a DVD set of this series. I'll admit I'm not all that optimistic, but never say never. SHOUT FACTORY is really getting the ball rolling this year by releasing some shows not seen in ages and with folks who have been out of the limelight for a long time ("Rhoda", "Mr. Belvedere", "Room 222", etc) and MPI is apparently giving the green light to "The Mothers-In-Law", so anything's possible.

A couple things going for "It's Your Move" would be the entire run consists of only 18 episodes (can easily be done inexpensively as a single volume, 2 or 3 DVD set), so there are no worries about leaving fans hanging about subsequent seasons... this one's one and done! Not to mention enough folks would purchase this solely for the legendary "Dregs of Humanity" two-part episode.
