Something I just realized: every time Michael wants to start a new life he goes to Phoenix. A bird famous for starting over

Oh man I wish you hadn’t said Phoenix.

Michael: I’d like to see the look on their faces right now. (Imitating.) Where’d he go?
George Michael: Or they’d think we just headed home… Actually, you know, that’s kind of what I thought until I heard about all that Phoenix stuff.

Michael was concerned that the full impact of his departure might have been lost on his family.

Phoenix’s rise from the ashes and it’s hot. Very hot there. Michael never makes it to Phoenix and he never rises either.

It's hot. It was very hot there. I've never been ... get a warrant.

He makes it in Season 4.

And almost turns his hand to ashes.

He doesn’t make it but he almost does!

I thought he started an online college course? University of Phoenix?

He makes it to Phoenix (S4/1) walks out of the airport, feels the heat and go back to California.

Be cool if there was a spin off where he and George Michael finally made it to Arizona. Maybe they could open a leather shop or something.

Lether shop in Arizona? Are you serious? There are far too many as it is. They would be out of business in a week’s time!

It’s just the lab calling. We’ll give him his results in Phoenix.

I think most of these people are just here for the free chicken.

Except he never does because he always lets the family drag him back in.
Empty-Mind [OP]
He does finally after season 3

nice catch, never realized that

He does try, but we all know he’s Peter Pan at heart, the boy who never grows up. It could even be said he’s stuck in arrested development.
(Hey, that’s the name of the show!)

It's been years since I've watched this show but back 10-15 years ago I knew all the ins and outs. I can't believe I never pieced this together.

Famous for starting over...but still becoming the same person.

I chuckled after turning off AD this morning. I immediately saw a commercial for the Hyundai Santa Fe, being narrated by Jason Bateman. Guess he's making is way thru the South West.
Well, I’d rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona.

I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

As the only one in a big group of AD obsessed friends who lives in Arizona and not California, I've been told this at least a thousand times in regular conversation. And it never gets old. RIP Jessica.

I have only one word for all of you in Arizona.
