Arrested Development

Has anyone seen this show? It freaking kills me!

I first heard of this show from my brother Steve who always seems to be stumbling upon TV greats, such as Father Ted and the IT Crowd. He told me about it months before I had seen an episode.

Two years ago, on an unfortunate weekend I got stuck with a bad case of food poisoning from Safeway... that's right Safeway I am blaming it on YOU and your fancy pants taste testers!!! Of course it was a weekend that I had off and Dallin H. Oaks was coming Calgary! To make the most of a bad weekend I asked Mom the rent me the first season. I must say I was throughly entertained.

Last week Dad helped me ravage through my brother's boxes and we were able to find season two. Through an interesting twist of luck (or unluck), I found myself again nauseated and vomiting laying on the couch (NOT pregnant). There was season two, to bring me comfort. Once again very entertaining.

The other day when I was out I saw season three for a VERY good price and picked up a copy. I have only just begun watching it but I have never laughed so hard at a TV show (okay... well maybe the IT crowd). I find in this season all the jokes are coming together.

I hope that when I watch the end of the series that I will feel that the show ended well. Otherwise I will be disappointed, I feel sad that such a great show was cut off so early. Does anyone know why it was canceled? It appeared to have won a bunch of awards as well. I will never understand why some shows survive and others die.
