I was thinking about the title of this blog, and how it’s rather negative…so here’s the video explaining the reference. It’s from the show Arrested Development, which aired for three seasons on fox. It’s widely recognized as one of the best sitcoms in the past…well, since TV started. It centers around the Bluth family, who have been made wealthy through their not so ethical dealings in the housing business. Michael Bluth is the main character and morale lasso for his family, who are selfish, shallow, just generally amoral. The best part of the show is the humor and plot elements which are set up early in the episodes and carefully woven throughout the series. Unfortunately, only the first season is able to do this flawlessly as the second season was cut short, and they were forced to rush through the story. The third season is even more rushed as they were no doubt surprised that were renewed, so it’s evident that are trying to cram the whole story in before they get canned for good.
Although it may be gone, there still is hope for tv. It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is similar to Arrested Development in that it centers around a group of selfish and amoral people…except they don’t have the moral center to reign in their mischief. The show is far edgier as they deal with subjects such a stealing, a murder, abortion, and baby tanning. Oh, and they swear on basic cable…how awesome is that?
