arrested development

I really only watch one TV show: Arrested Development. But I’ve never actually seen a full episode on TV.
I got the first season’s episodes on DVD as a birthday gift. By the time I watched them all, the second season was nearly over — so I went on a downloading spree to find all that season’s episodes online.
The third season started this week — so did I tune in at the appointed hour? Nope — just hit the Interwebs, downloaded the magical bittorrent, and I had the full HDTV episode on my computer in under 10 minutes. (Funny stuff. Seems to be getting a bit broader and more slapsticky in its middle age — which isn’t bad.)
I remember this summer going to a local pizza joint (for their excellent chicken parm sub) one night and actually seeing the show on the TV there. It was the first time I’d seen it on a real set, with commercials and stuff. It kinda freaked me out.

  1. That’s the only show I ever watch either. when it looked like Fox was going to cancel it, I even joined the fan club! (This, from a woman who averages about 20 hours of TV per year!) My user ID was “BusterLover” of course…
    Hope you’re well 🙂

  2. That’s why I have TiVo. I never have to watch those pesky ads again. I’m so happy they brought it back for another season!
