(see previous post for more TV musings)
Tonight marks the return after an unbearable five-week absence of The Greatest Television Show In The History of Any Medium (tm jedmunds at Pandagon). I refer of course to Arrested Development.
If you’re already on the bandwagon, you don’t need me to tell you this. But if you’ve somehow missed the second-lowest-rated show on Fox, I implore you: watch it. Please. It is quite simply a perfect television program. Ignore what you’ve heard about it being too hard. It isn’t. Sure, it rewards obsessive rewatching,* but it’s also pretty damn funny on its own. It has the dirtiest jokes in the history of network television, one of the finest ensembles ever brought together, enough formal innovation for a half-dozen thesis papers, and even a dose of political satire if you really need that sort of thing.
But enough proselytizing. I now turn over comments to anyone who wants to share favorite AD moments, quotes, gags, bird-related dances.
“What a fun, sexy time for you.”
