How awkward
As long as I'm digressing, I'll just say it's nice to see the cognoscenti honoring a show airing on regular television. When I found Salon honoring "Veronica Mars," I had just finished reading their "If We Gave Out The Emmys" type article, notable for its frequent use of the phrase "Six Feet Under." I'm sure that's a wonderful show and all, but I do wish journalists writing about such shows would occasionally mention/acknowledge that they are premium cable shows and not regular TV shows.
And to continue digressing, I thought the whole reason I had to hear so much about how "great" the critically overrated "Arrested Development" was was that it had been canceled. That was my unwritten bargain with its backers: I would be exposed to the over-the-top praise for this not-so-funny show that tried way too hard, but then it would be off the air. Correction: "that tries way too hard. Fox putting it back on the air is a real bait-and-switch from my perspective.

i really do love Arrested Development but have not even finished watching the first season. Maybe it sucks now.
I DO hate the FOX network though.
