If you have never had the opportunity to experience the magic that is "Arrested Development," I strongly encourage you to buy/borrow/rent a season or two immediately (currently on sale at Target). It is a travesty that crap shows like (insert your own crap show here) continue to air, and yet this was cancelled by Fox after only three seasons. Seriously, you will not regret this decision. I'm not telling you anymore until you get rid of the Seaward.

It's all about Mr.F
so i watch this every day and still continue to laugh until i almost pee my pants. now that peter is here watching it with me it gets even better. we all decided who our favorite characters were, Peter chose G.O.B, I would have to say mine would be George Michael and Brigham chose Tobias (THE NEVER NUDE??). Yours?
TV? Ms. Teacher, isn't it all about reading?! Just wanted to report to you that I read and loved Freakonomics. Then I passed it on to Ryan and Scott. Your trip looked fantastic! And I NEVER turn on the oven in the summer! I think it might be against the law in Arizona....
I love it, too. From stuffwhitepeoplelike.com:
Eventhough most white people prefer to say that they don’t watch television, one thing they agree on is that Arrested Development was the best show on TV. They love it so much!
The love it for a number of reasons. Firstly, since the show was cancelled before it jumped the shark, it’s effectively like a rocker that dies at 27. Also, the show got terrible ratings, meaning that it wasn’t ‘mainstream,’ which makes white people love it unilaterally. Other examples of shows like this are Twin Peaks and The Ben Stiller Show.
They also love it because there are a few references to white popular culture, and if there is one thing that white people love, it’s cultural references that they understand (see Garden State, The Onion, and Juno for examples).
If you are ever a white person’s house, and you see an orange box in their DVD collection, you should say “oh, you have Arrested Development, I love that show!” To which you will be offered a glass of wine, and perhaps an invitation to 80s night.
Also of note: the hip hop group Arrested Development is also loved by white people.
Amen, I just about cried during the last episode. I have an autographed picture of Buster, framed and all. So many great lines. Moment of silence please.
We have all three seasons and love the show too. I would have to say its in my top 3 of all time.We just moved and didn't have our cable set up yet so I have actually been watching it again non-stop. And I have a lttle crush on Jason Bateman, can ya blame me?
