Okay, maybe you don’t care, but then you probably have no taste. Arrested Development is the funniest show ever. On an off week I am laughing my ass off at this show, and when they’re firing on all cylinders…well, let’s just say, “Thank God for TiVo,” because otherwise I would miss half the jokes I am laughing so hard.
If you haven’t watched this show before and pick it up via Netflix or something, I’ll point out something that it actually took me a few weeks to notice watching weekly: the clips for the next week’s show never have anything to do with the next week’s show. It’s all continuing the gag.

Oh, yeah, lost among the chaos of this morning’s NBC official schedule announcement and more Lohan-related news than we could cut with a credit card, was this announcement that Fox picked up Arrested Development for another season. The press release:
FOX DOES MORE TIME WITH “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT†ORDERING A FULL THIRD SEASON
FOX gets ARRESTED again. The network has ordered a third full season of the Emmy Award-winning comedy series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, it was announced today by Peter Liguori, President, Entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company.“ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is one of the best comedies on television. The decision to order another season becomes easy when you consider its amazing cast, creative brilliance, critical acclaim and advertiser appeal,†said Liguori. “It’s my first official pick-up since taking the job, and I think it’s a great way to start.â€Â
Evidently Jason Bateman used to be some sort of child star. Don’t know, never saw him. He’s hot now, though. Go check ‘im out. He’s also the funniest straight man—in the comedy-sense of the term; no idea about his private life—on TV, keeping things absolutely grounded while the people around him are flying through the stratosphere.
