My Life Sentence
In case you missed it, which most of you probably did, there was a two hour season/series finale, of Arrested Development. Fox aired the Final Four episodes starting at 8:00, and they were some of the best episodes in the history of the show.
I say ‘/series’ because the show is not being picked up for another season by Fox due to poor ratings (despite solid critical acclaim & awards) – it was usually placed in the same timeslot by other, more intellectually engrossing fare as “Laguna Beach” or “Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica”. The irony here is that the Final Four were broadcast during the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics.
…oooh two ironies…
The show’s future is still very much in limbo, Showtime may pick it up but I have finally accepted that it might be over for good.
To enjoy Arrested Development, its as easy as one, two, three! Step one: run out to your nearest retailer, step two: buy Seasons One & Two, step three: watch, step four: repeat.
So here’s to you Arrested Development, *CLINK* one of the finest programs to ever appear on the small screen.
And to you “The Office,” for being there to help ease the pain.
