True, it is truly absurd. Also don’t feel bad Nik, unless you are weird and fill out a Nielsen ratings journal thing, you don’t really count anyways (:

This show is funny in the way that Monty Python is funny. Most people don’t get it because they don’t pay attention often enough to find the jokes. It is too quick for the general public, I think. I, personally, really appreciate Arrested Development because of the way that it handles humour. Absurdity at its finest if you ask me. I like that the show is aware of itself. I like that the actors are (un)known. I like that Ron Howard narrates the whole thing. One of my favorite jokes is that former Happy days actors play lawyers. It’s a shame it doesn’t get more viewers. But then, I guess I don’t really count, I record it and watch it later. This doesn’t really help the show either. DAMN.

I guess by cable I meant non-premium cable. If it reappeared on HBO or Showtime, that would be cool.

A cable pick-up is certainly not out of the question based on this show’s star quotient….none of the show’s actors is a mega-star, certainly no larger than any of the stars on “SATC” or “The Sopranos.” This show *made* stars out of a number of unknowns and never-weres. Anyhow, most of the second season post-episode 4 was terrible (mediocre at best)–forced and too self-aware–and the third wasn’t much better (until this past Sunday’s, which was suprisingly decent).
