You want to know what all the hype is about the sitcom Arrested Development? Well, aside from it’s regular Sunday night timeslot, you have two (really more) other options to catch what is possibly the funniest show on TV (now that Curb Your Enthusiasm has ended its season and regardless of what NBC marketing says, it sure as hell isn’t Friends).
Tomorrow after yet another unnecessary 60 minute long American Idol results show, Fox will broadcast a new epsiode of the show. Even better, though, is that on Sunday stating at 2:30 PM, FX Network will show six straight episodes of the series, allowing you to get to know the characters and situations a little better. Then, of course, a new episode will be on Fox that evening at 9:30 as usual.
If you did like Curb Your Enthusiasm, you should love Arrested Development. In a way, the two shows are mirror images of each other. In Curb, we constantly watch Larry make a fool of himself due to his incredible insensitivity and narcisism, and we watch the other characters react to him. Arrested Development is comprised of several narcissistic individuals (with many other issues), all putting their troubles upon one character the rest of us identify with.
With all these opportunities, please check it out. There has been enough quality television cancelled over the years for not finding viewers, and to its credit, Fox is at least giving this show a shot!
Out of Focus 
If necessary, I WILL petition Fox to keep that show on the air. It’s one of the only reasons why I ever turn on the TV!!!

Favorite line from the show: George Michael asks if Lindsey had even been pregnant (in order to find out if Maybe was adopted) and Gob responds “Oh yes. Dozens of times”.
Brilliant television.
