There's always money in the banana stand...

There are two types of people in this world. Those who understand the title of this post, and those who have no idea what I am talking about. To those of you read the title and chuckled, congratulations. You already know where I am going with this post. To those of you who have no idea where I am going with this, you are seriously missing out.

I am talking about the short lived Fox TV show, Arrested Development.

There are so many ways I could describe this show, but there is only one word that I need: Brilliant.

I must admit, the first time I watched A.D. I wasn't impressed. It was in the middle of the 2nd season, and to tell the truth, I just didn't get it. It didn't seem to make any sense. So I did the only thing I could think to do. I took the advice that Julie Andrews gave in Sound of Music: I would start at the very beginning. It is a very good place to start.

It was a great idea. I borrowed the 1st season from a co-worker who had been raving about the show for years, and was overcome with joy when I mentioned that I too wanted to see what the show was all about. With DVD's in hand I started to watch what is now one of my all time favorite shows.


I was instantly hooked.  Lisa wasn't swayed as easily, but by the 4th or 5th episode she had come around.  Within a month we had finished all three seasons.  In fact the only bad part of the show is that it only lasted three seasons.


I could go on and on about this show, but instead I invite you to watch one of Lisa and mine's favorite Arrested Development clips.




Arrested Development can be watched on Hulu.com.  If you want to enjoy an A+ show, check it out.  You won't be disappointed.
