Arrested Development

I have a friend who is my music and entertainment muse. Pretty much everything she recommends to me I LOVE! So when she came to me and told me about this show Arrested Development I thought "yes, of course I'll watch this show and I know I'll love it". Oh but alas, I did not like this show AT ALL.

I saw my first episode about a year ago. It left a bad taste in my mouth. So, about 2 months ago I sat down with my husband, Chris, and watched the show again. I laughed my face off! I haven't laughed so much at a television show EVER in my life! Every single character in that show has incredible comedic talent. Chris and I DVR all the episodes that are rerunning now. I can't wait to hit that List button and see an episode of Arrested Development waiting for me to press play. There's so much to love about the show. I can understand why it was a short lived endeavor, but I think with maybe a season longer there would have been an Arrested Development movement in this nation. I truly believe that. You just got to give it time and let it seep into your funny bones. Of all the work that Jason Bateman, Michael, has done since the show I really think his niche is quirky comedy. His straight faced sarcastic one liners are delivered so effortlessly. Will Arnett as Gob, that alone is hilarious, is so funny! He plays a selfish jackass magician unbelievably well. I love that he's married to Amy Poehler. Can you imagine what that house is like? I bet they make each other laugh all day long.

I could go on forever about why this show is so funny. I wish it was still on. I'm not sure if I could handle adding another show to my already long list of must see t.v. starting this fall. But I think if the show would come back I could pencil it in.
