Welcome to the "Arrested Development" Rewatch. Leading up to the release of Season 4, Zap2it will be taking a look back at the 53 episodes that made the show one of our most beloved TV comedies. We continue with episode 11 of Season 1, "Public Relations," which first aired Jan. 25, 2004. Watch the first three seasons of "Arrested Development" on Netflix.
Plot: Michael hopes to get George Michael into the prestigious Milford Academy (longstanding motto: "Children should be neither seen nor heard"), but runs into a hurdle because of his family's current bad reputation. He decides to hire publicist Jessie Bowers (Jill Ritchie) to put a positive spin on the Bluth name. (Good luck with that!) She begins making romantic advances on Michael, which would be entirely welcome if he wasn't still conflicted about how George Michael is handling the loss of his mom. It turns out -- as George Michael puts it --...

D.E.B.S. was actually made twice. First as a short starring Tammy Lynn Michaels, and later as a feature length film with a larger budget and distribution. The latter version came out in 2004 and was just as gay — if not gayer — than the original.
So what happened to the ladies of the feature film D.E.B.S.?
Sara Foster as good girl Amy
D.E.B.S. was Sara's first feature film, and she was its star. Since then, she's had a few minor roles on TV shows and movies (Psych:9, Demoted) but most recently she's appeared in the recurring role of Jen Clark on 90210. She is often photographed watching the matches of her boyfriend, professional German tennis player Tommy Haas.
Jordana Brewster as bad girl Lucy
Jordana went on to star in Anapolis and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning before getting the role of Mia Torreto in Fast & The Furious, which turned into the...

PARK CITY -- "Charlie's Angels" meets "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" in this delirious sendup of girl-power films.
Big hair, short skirts, wild gadgets and eyebrow pencils are the apt components of this feel-good ditty. Silly but smart, "D.E.B.S". might make good dibs for an outfit like MTV or as an antidote to gender reconstructions currently serving time in the Seven Sisters institutions.
In this wacky Screen Gems comedy, the four young provocateurs of the D.E.B.S. spy training academy (culled for their ability to lie, cheat and kill) are called forth by academy president Phipps Michael Clarke Duncan) to perform a mission improbable: They must take down the most evil criminal the world has ever known ... well, at least in the division of beautiful women outfitted in black -- aka Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster).
Lining her narrative with the requisite amounts of hair spray, tight outfits and hot sports cars, filmmaker Angela Robinson has outfitted a devilishly daft entertainment. With its tongue not only in cheek but thoroughly down its throat, "D.E.B.S". is a head-spinning, eye-popping delight.
This all-girl teen actioner is juiced and spruced by its four D.E.B.S. agents: Sara Foster as the "perfect" girl, Meagan Good as the feisty beauty, Devon Aoki as the amorous French ditz and Jill Ritchie as the scaredy-cat. As the bitch of blackness, Brewster, with her sizzling eyebrows and dusky mien, kicks butt.
Splashed and accessorized with brainy nonsense, "D.E.B.S". is a "H.O.O.T".
