I feel like some kind of colossal ass who sucks at his job because I’d never heard that an “Arrested Development” documentary has been in the works (obligatory: a more colossal ass who sucks at his job more than usual). Or at least I assume it’s been news before, since this is the “final” trailer. You wouldn’t have any a final trailer without having earlier trailers, right?
Anyway, the clip is just a bunch of people — stars of the show, Hollywood execs, assorted actors and comics — saying how amazing the show was and how no one watched it. And they’re all absolutely right, but I certainly hope the documentary gives me a little bit more than that. I already feel bad for not going door-to-door and forcing Nielsen families to watch the show, I don’t need some 90-minute guilt trip about how we all missed the most brilliant sitcom ever made because “Temptation Island” was on. Although in America’s defense, “Temptation Island” was awesome.

Look, I spent a week and a half holed up in my dorm plowing through Arrested Development DVDs, buffalo chicken calzones, and supermodels just like every other mouth breathing mensa member who didn’t watch the show when it was on the air. I don’t need a feature length documentary with a bunch of Judah Friedlanders explaining to me that the show “really was that funny” because of its heavily-encrypted “jokes on top of jokes on top of jokes on top of jokes on top of spaghetti all covered in cheese.” If anything, that trailer made me like the show less, and I still TiVo every episode that Mark Cuban feeds me on HDNet because I’m too lazy to get up, put the DVD in my DVD player, and choose an episode all by myself. Henry Ford didn’t hate Jews enough to invent the only American assembly line not to accept government skrill just to see me be forced to change my own diaper while I spew vitriol and chunks of partially masticurbated sandwich at my TV whenever Keith Olbermann reminds me that he went to Cornell.
Even if it means taking a chubby..I will suck it up!
We are all lesser people for this show no longer being on the air. I can see that people who didn’t watch the show from the beginning would struggle to keep with the multi-layered, serialized comedy program. Since most Americans struggle with simple math and the fact that our President is actually an American-born Christian, then I’ll remain unsurprised.
So maybe putting a show opposite Monday Night Football isn’t a good idea?
Hey, there’s TV’s Frank!
Portia talks without her accent to not confuse people.
I can’t believe she married Ellen. I mean come on there are tens of better looking dykes.

Now, now, you were hard at work compiling a list of nicer tv shows. And we all know making lists is doing the blogger lord’s work.
