Mark your calendar! New episodes of Arrested Development are scheduled to appear on Netflix.com on May 26!
I have to admit that I love this show and that Jessica Walter as Lucille Bluth is my role model. The whole cast is great. (Click on the picture to enlarge it and see the gif.)
Anyway, it is good to have something new on the horizon, because most of “my shows”–such as they are–are running down to the end of the season. What will I do without my boys, Dean and Sam?
The Winchester boys sharing a pensive moment.
Yes, I am indeed a big nerd. (You may have thought I was a hipster because I love Arrested Development, but not so!) I even have succumbed to watching the heretofore slandered (by me) Dancing With the Stars this season! I have been on team Kellie and Derek from day #1.
I have no shame.
My brother and his wife eschew television, and indeed have never owned one in all their married life. They are not time-wasters like me and my family, and I applaud them for their strength of character (really I do). Nevertheless, I must say, after a hard Monday at the salt mines, there is something soothing and mindless about watching DWTS. It is an alarmingly wholesome show, despite the fact everyone is half-naked. Explain that one to me! I realize that this is the downfall of civilization as we know it, and, much as I regret this and would like to turn to my Emerson and read in the evening, I just can’t.
So the summer approacheth. This is when I traditionally get my money’s worth of Netflix. What will you be watching?

TV is DEFINITELY a reasonable escape. I wouldn’t survive without it! Esber & I are planning a viewing party for the AD premiere…
I want to come! So jealous! 😦
I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer here but I watched 2 episodes of Arrested Development and couldn’t make it through the 3rd… 😦
Well, you have to be in the right mood for Arrested Development. Otherwise, it might really annoy you. It took me awhile to warm up to Sam and Dean as well. That’s just how it is.
I have to agree with Wheeler, but we all know that I don’t do comedy. I do totally agree with you about the Winchester brothers though. And I already miss Justified…
I got very excited about Wipeout–talk about downfall of civilization!
I always kind of resented the fact we didn’t have a TV, but now it’s nice really because I don’t have cable just to save money, but that doesn’t get me down because I don’t know what I’m missing. What is sad is that I haven’t been watching many movies lately since I’ve been concentrating on studying for quals. This summer though, I’m going to get back into it. In the meantime, I did manage to get my girlfriend to watch the Star Wars movies with me. Disgraceful it was that she had got so long without seeing them!
