The season premiere of "Arrested Development."
Hopefully you're all aware of the brillance of this show. Even Opie's narration is pretty damn funny. Good, smart stuff. I still think of it as my little secret, though, and am afraid that Fox is going to pull it any second.
Posted by mikewolf at November 07, 2004 10:43 PMShit-I missed it and I NEVER miss an episode...although I guess it was worth it as I was BBQing with friends.
NO WAY Fox is going to pull it. It was nominated for 7 Emmy's and won 5:
2004 Emmy Winner - Best Comedy
2004 Emmy Winner - Best Writing in a Comedy (Mitchell Hurwitz for "Pilot")
2004 Emmy Winner - Best Directing in a Comedy (Anthony Russo & Joe Russo for "Pilot")
2004 Emmy Winner - Outstanding Casting For A Comedy Series
2004 Emmy Winner - Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Comedy Series
I too am a huge fan and never miss an episode but last night I forgot it was on. Dang.

Posted by: mrw on November 8, 2004 11:09 AMThat's because they don't promote it... if they promoted it one-tenth of the amount that they promote The Simpsons or My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss, I'd be surprised.
And, at this stage in the game, do they really need to promote The Simpsons any more? Doesn't everyone on the planet know it's on?
