The Office v. Arrested Development

I don't watch a lot of TV. Lately, I haven't been watching any TV unless it is the local news while I am cooking, but there are two shows I follow(ed) pretty religiously, they are Arrested Development and The Office (please excuse my lack of italics). Love them. My favorite? That's easy-- Arrested Development. The Office, yes, it's incredibly funny, and sadly, I think of at least two quotes from it per day. And yes, I have brought them up in class...I guess its humor comes from its applicability. We've been in similar situations, so we can easily relate. Except, we probably all lack a Dwight in our lives.

So why do I choose Arrested Development?

The writing is brilliant. No, seriously, it blows me away every time. Why did the show get cancelled? I honestly believe it was because of lack of marketing (the majority of devoted fans I know did not know of the program until it was off of the air). It needs to come back. Apparently they are making a movie-- let's see how that turns out. Have you seen AD? If not, you need to.

  2. You should really check into Life. I'm not much for television but I can't get enough of that show. And Lie to Me....only because I like immitating the British guy and annoying my wife.
