Better than the Scientologists, at least.

Well, I think that if you were to put lawyers into the mix, then we might move up even further!

Who would have thought that Tom Cruises insane ramblings would have a positive effect?

Anybody out there an "Arrested Development" fan? We're up from "Sell!" to "Don't buy!"

We LOVE "Arrested Development"!!!  We miss it so much!  One of the smartest comedies on the air.  Of course it was cancelled.  :(

Who was your favorite character? I can't say if mine was Tobias, Buster, Job, or John Michael. I'm leaning toward Tobias, but that's a really hard decision.

I adored the vulnerability of George Michael... I was always like, "Awww... poor thing" whenever he was on the screen.

I also loved Lucille... all the things a mom would LOVE to do sometimes to her kids... but we know we just can't.  How about the "Mother Boy" contest?  <snort>  

But Tobias... David Cross MADE that show.  I think I read somewhere that his character wasn't supposed to be a permanent character but he just added so much, they couldn't get rid of him... did you read that?  Or is that another show I'm thinking of?  He made "never nude" a common phrase.   lol

They really put the "fun" in dysfunctional, didn't they?  We got the entire series on DVD and we run a marathon twice a year or so.

I didn't read that, but David Cross is funny in anything that he does. Perfect for that role though. He also had a cameo in "Strangers with Candy" as a psychologist. He suggests luring demons out of an insane person (anyone insane is actually posessed) with a piece of meat.

My wife and I have an arrested development marathon sometimes, too. We were big into Mr. F. :)

But the jean shorts. Wow. So funny. I loved Tobias' stint in the blue man group, too. And everything out of his mouth is a sexual innuendo.

And I love that Ann (Bland) ends up with Job. That just topped it off for me.
