Save Our Bluths: Watch ‘Arrested Development,’ Damnit!
Fox’s Arrested Development is simply the best show on broadcast TV these days, and most of you morons people aren’t watching it (or perhaps you’re just too stupid to realize how hilarious it is), so it may well get cut off the air! Tonight’s brilliant, gratuitously star-studded episode put out a blatant appeal to loyal viewers to spread the distress call (cleverly wrapped into the plot, of course):
Michael, speaking about the family’s legal problems and responding to his father’s suggestion that they hold a fundraising dinner: “Our backs are against the wall, and it’s hard to accept that it’s really come to begging.”
George Sr.: “Sometimes it’s the only way to stay in the game.”
Narrator (Ron Howard, the producer): “PLEASE, tell your friends about this show.”
So, what the hell are you waiting for? An engraved invitation?! Watch the goddamn show, already! TiVo it, and watch it twice, while you’re at it (and if you actually have a Nielsen People Meter hooked up to your TV, watch it over and over and over again!).
Oddly, they flashed the URL www.SaveOurBluths.org (the family at the center of the show are the Bluths) as a throw-away gag, and although someone at Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation did register the domain two weeks ago, they didn’t bother to put up any kind of web site there. Lame. (But the show is great!)
