"Arrested Development" returns
I said it last season (and I will say it again after only 1 episode), "Arrested Development" is one of the 3 funniest shows on TV ("Reno 911!," "Curb Your Enthusiasm").
Last night's season premiere was great: Tobias and the whole Blue Man Group thing; Gob taking over the company and finding a contract between his father and Saddam Hussein; Buster combing Uncle Oscar's hair; Michael letting George-Michael sit on his lap to drive (and getting pulled over by the police). I could go on and on.
I think my favorite moment had to be when Michael is going around the room and telling all of his family members how he is no longer going to be there to bail them out (he was planning to move away to Phoenix and leave them to their own devices). When he gets to his sister Lindsay, he says that he won't be there to hear her cry about how she thinks her husband Tobias is -- (right when he is about to say "gay," Tobias "accidentally" blows Lucille's "rape horn," drowning out Michael's last word).
And since our local FOX affialite went to HD earlier this Fall, "Arrested Development" now airs in high-definition widescreen. Cool.
