I was a professional twice over—an analyst and a therapist.
I have a few guilty pleasures…
Ok, I have a lot of guilty pleasures..
Ok, with the exception of my Church Calling, I’m 100% guilty pleasures..
I’ve found a new guilty pleasure..
While I was suffering from the Black Lung, I started to watch a show called Arrested Development. This show is funny. I’m not talking shoot milk through your nose funny, I’m talking shoot a sandwhich through your nose funny. Yes. It’s best not to be eating/drinking/thinking about eating or drinking when you are watching the show.
The basis of the show is that you have a family, who have been privelaged all their life, but are now dealing with the father being in jail for corporate fraud.
The entire ensamble is what makes this show so funny. The older brother GOB, who has a dream to be a magician, and even started the magician’s alliance (which he was later thrown out of). The brother in law, Tobias Funke (played by David Cross), who is very gay, without knowing it. Even George Michael, the son of the main character, delivers lines and has facial expressions that are uproariously funny.
It’s good stuff, it’s a good time. You should Tivo it for tonight.
Really you should.
sandwich through the nose…sounds painful. I’ll try to stay away from the food.
Congrats on discovering one of the BEST shows on TV. I highly recommend getting the DVDs of past episodes and getting caught up. Its even better that way.
Panini: After the fourth of fifth time, you get used to it…
EA: Already Done.
I’m addicted.
Oh Arrested Development is pure comedy gold. And Ron Howard’s narrations just make it all the more golden. That, and the previews for “next time, on Arrested Development.”
Oh, how I love Arrested Developement – I just purchased the 2nd season on DVD….I adore that show and have shot many sandwiches, children, and small churches through my nose while watching it – that’s how hard I laugh.
Rachel: You know, it took me at least five episodes to realize that the “Next Time on Arrested development” Never even happened. Some of the funniest stuff happened there.
redlaw: Yeah, I just got it too..
Now, shooting churches through the nose, that has to hurt. With the spires and stuff..
So what’s everyone’s favorite character? For me, it’s a toss up between George Michael and Tobias.
The GOB does a good job as well.
Heck, they all make me laugh.
