Arrested Development: S.O.B.s

We love our shows so much we created a blog for it.

About the Ladies

athenawj is a writer-mama-artist-editor-blue ribbon junkie who can't get enough of her favorite t.v. shows (and the ridiculous amount of videotapes in her house proves it). She's owned various t.v.s for awhile, but only recently discovered the joys of OnDemand.

merserene is a professional-turned-student who has an unhealthy addiction to some shows. She bought her first TV last year and is particularly fond of old reruns and British comedy.

SOBs, indeed. FOX, that is, though it stands for "Save Our Bluths." Leave it to AR for some double entendre!

It was funny, as usual; clever, too, in the episode's hidden agenda - how 'bout pimping itself to audiences and asking HBO and Showtime to pick up the show? (Though I thought ABC was also interested, but don't recall any references to that.) Physical comedy-wise, not as funny ha ha as other episodes, but then again, I've just introduced the episode to my dad and had to explain certain things. To my surprise, he liked it.

Oh wait, I remember now - Andy Richter and his quads (as well as a "stunt double") was on. So was what's his name with the glasses. George-Michael remains adorable in his efforts to be near Maeby. Poor kid, though; finally confessed that he loves Maeby but Michael was totally oblivious!

I like that FOX has been airing old episodes of AR right afterwards, though Kitchen Confidential, which used to come after AR before it was cancelled, was pretty cute.

3 episodes left!

Argh, I missed it because we went to see Pooter-- forgot to have Mr. Calm tape it for me. :(

I would love it if Showtime or HBO picked it up.

Weird! You commented but I don't see a comment count on this post. Pooter is a good reason to miss AR!

I would love it if ABC picks it up, since I don't get the premium cable channels.
