Critics' Arrested Development
Tom Wark (does this guy sleep?), over at Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog, has again, stumbled on an interesting trueism, something that really hit home for me. And he used Arrested Development as his example (which gives him unlimited credibilty in my book...).
Read his post at above link. Here are my comments:
Arrested Development's imminent departure has been the saddest news in my home in the last several months. I've never quite been able to fathom that this comedy couldn't find an audience as big as some other death rattle celebrity reality show. I believe it is the perfect comedy. I know that the final 2 hours is sitting downastairs on my TiVO, but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it, I must be in some strange denial. It's strange, I listen to certain Film & Television critics, but I have a tough time listening to any Wine critics. Through trial and error, I have found that certain critics of film and television are the appropriate personal filters for all of the crap that is out there (how the hell is that Jim Belushi show still on the air!?!?!?!?!). While wine critics seem to filter out all of the interesing wine, and leave us with the wine versions of, well, jim belushi (sorry Jim, it's been downhill all the way since your pissing scene in the Man with One Red Shoe...). It's a very interesting question... I just need to learn to not fall in love with brilliant television anymore, I guess I'll see if the Apprentice is on.

Adam:
About 6 hours a night.
I watched it. Yum
However I read that Showtime is strongly considering picking it up. In the mean time....try "The Office". If you like AD, you'll like "The Office".
