You're Kidding Me Buster

If you recognize the title of this post, then you watch the funniest show on TV - Arrested Development. If I could only watch one show, this would be the one. I don't understand when people say they don't get the show, or don't think it's funny. But, invariably, they think the King of Queens is hilarious.. so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

I will admit, it is very self-referential, so if you just start to watch for one week, you may not get all the jokes, or why they are funny. For example, you wouldn't find the "You're Kidding Me Buster" banner to be wildly hilarious (as I do), if you hadn't seen it in at least 3 other episodes (usually as "You're Killing Me Buster"). You wouldn't understand why the random blue paint marks around the house are funny, or why it is funny whenever anyone says they've made a huge mistake. But still.. every bit of it is so funny, I think anybody should be able to get into it. Maybe it will be like Seinfeld, and takea few seasons for the ratings to really pick up. I hope so, because people that aren't watching it are really missing out.

On a related note.. I watch way too much TV in the fall. I haven't had much time to play poker lately because the two nights I am not playing basketball I am watching tv. But, that is probably good, since I've been on a horrible losing streak. Maybe a few days away will get my mind right.
