Arrested Development: An Introduction

What is there to say about Arrested Development that has not already been said? "Best show on television." [Check] "...the smartest, most shockingly funny series on TV." [Check] "Funnier than those Free Credit Report dot com commercials." [Has never been said, but true.] Just look at the picture below and try to explain to me why this show was canceled.

Sadly, this post has been delayed. I honestly had no idea where to begin. The awesomeness of this show put such a strain on my body, I could not type for two whole days. [Or I was just distracted by Obama killing a fly. Whoopty-doo.]

I don't know how I should handle this: I was thinking of doing episode reviews, but that involves way tooo much observation; I don't feel like watching the episode a bazillion times and then have it loose its funny. I think today I'll just post a quote and a few pictures. I think that character bios and running-jokes may just be the content of the next few posts.

I'm pretty sure this picture was used for the season 3 finale, [which ended up being the series finale. Insert angry and sad face here.]

Here's a good G.O.B. quote:

"They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give 'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether."

Ahhh, oh G.O.B. - you always know how to make a good magic-themed joke. In the series there are plenty - especially in the first season with the whole 'Alliance of Magicians' thing. Ben Stiller even makes a cameo appearance in three episodes as rival magician 'Tony Wonder.'

Well, writing about A.D. is better than I thought, so I shall do it often. Oh, and the name of the blog has nothing to do with Michael Cera. Yes, he may be awkwadorable, and yes he is in Arrested Development, but it is not named after him. That would just be creepy. [Kind of like falling in love with your cousin.] [Creepy like, well, creepy like this.]

Good night!
