ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT! Gawldingdangdammit - Tivo this sucker! Every episode! Don't let stupid F'in Fox kill another great show!
At least, not without watching a few of them before they're gone... : (
Anyone catch the opening bit to "North by North Quahog," the season premiere/return-to-TV episode of FAMILY GUY? It's a sort of epilogue to their first run, when Peter announces to the family that their show's been cancelled, they ask him if there's any chance that they could get back on the air, and Peter begins with something like, "Well, I suppose it's possible, if great Fox shows like..." and he recites a long list of all the shows Fox picked up and dumped in the three (?) or so years FAMILY GUY was off the air - including some personal faves of mine like ANDY RICHTER CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE, GREG THE BUNNY, LONE GUNMEN, and of course, FIREFLY - and finishes with... "If all those shows fail and get cancelled, then maybe we've got a chance!"
Granted, not all of them were winners. Some were no doubt duct-taped together from scripts and ideas deemed too lame for better shows (THAT 80s SHOW?), but were quickly moneyed up to at least put SOMETHING "fresh" on while they tracked down another quality FIREFLY to launch and then smother... So frickin telling of the impatience and cluelessness of Fox programming...
And this time, it's, like OUT IN THE OPEN how amazing the show is!
It almost reflects "real world" political and media behavior...
Just F'd up.
WATCH THIS SHOW! And ask me if you want to borrow a season 1 or 2 DVD! (Thanks, Zorky!)
