    Knows What Brent Did...
I would love to jump on the bandwagon and make fun of the guy who just discovered the hilarious show...but I just watched the entire series of Arrested Development over the last four days and have since decided that its cancellation was an indubitable sign of the decline of Western Civ (II not I obviously). I actually feel personally guilty for not watching when it was on. WTF was I doing? Friends? Are you &@#%ing kidding me?

I am immediately heading to surfthechannel.com to check this out.

10 years ago was WAY more awesome than right now.

Gas was $1.25.
KSU was good in football.
Weezer was still good.
Freaks and Geeks was on.

There's hope for you yet, FelixRex.  I never, ever thought anything would overcome Seinfeld in the pantheon of hilarity, but A.D. came along and blew me away.

However, do not expect Freaks and Geeks to be anything like this.  It is NOT technically a comedy, though it does have extremely clever and witty moments that will make you laugh.  It's a brilliant period piece about being in high school in the early 80s, and it's a perfect blend of poignant and funny.

    The very best.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

I randomly starting watching Arrested Development at on hulu.com at work before I even knew he made it. Three episodes in I was like "holy crap this is like Seinfeld Unplugged."

With all the absolute crap on TV (I'm looking at you, "Yes, Dear"), I'm genuinely a bit saddened when I see truly hilarious shows post-mortem.

The Male Freaks on that cast is ridiculous.

James Franco
Jason Segal
Seth Rogan

Talk about a group that dissappeared off the face of the earth.
