The best shows on TV are promptly cancelled. That’s all but a rule, with The Simpsons and Seinfeld being the two bits of evidence to the contrary. The best example of this is Fox’s magnificent “Arrested Development,” which won a metric pantload of awards and was promptly yanked by Fox. Now G4 — which many of you DirecTV and Dish Network subscribers get — is reairing it. I just finished watching the last two seasons over the past few weeks, and they started over again last night with the pilot. If you get G4, do yourself a favor and start watching. It’s too good for this world.

I discovered that G4 was airing this by mistake. I have my DVR programmed to record episodes of “Family Ties” if they ever pop up on a channel and it recorded the episode of “Arrested Development” titled “Family Ties” where Justine “Mallory Keaton” Bateman guest stars.
That is an amazing show. Beware of Mr. F……
I so wanted to blog about that six-episode series [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], but there’s just no way to describe that particular plot element without sounding like a heartless bastard. That was one of most ballsy things I’ve ever seen in a TV show. I love it.
Arrested Development was a brilliantly funny show.
I also got caught up with Six Feet Under….
Hopefully another great one will surface soon.
Buzz…Buzz….
