Arrested Development grows a White Tree

Sorry, had to slip the Tolkien reference in there. Reagan and I are in the middle of the Tale of Beren and Luthien in the Silmarillion. *sings* Awe-some! 

A new adult cartoon came out on Fox Network few weeks ago, "Sit Down Shut Up". Now, normally I'm highly critical of television and wait a season or two to see what the critics think. But this one made me look three times - I heard old the old, familiar voices of Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Henry Winkler doing their same old Arrested Development schtick.

Now, I'm not saying it makes it easier to give up Michael Sera (as seen in his star wars home video), or Jeffrey Tambor's shiny head and twin cousin Oscar, but...you can't beat Will Arnett's constantly inappropriate inanity. Or Jason Bateman's omniscient sarcasm. Ok, maybe that's dramatic. I just REALLY miss Arrested Development.

So, take a look for yourself. Even if you don't like Arrested Development (or know what it is - mom's friends, I'm looking at you), you have to admit these are pretty damn funny.

Here's absolutely classic Arrested Development. Hear Jason Bateman be just as we remember him - arrogant, adorable Michael Bluth. See if you can hear Henry Winkler and Will Arnett in the ridiculousness.

Here's a clip that makes me think of Matt and Karl for some reason...ban-hees, anyone? Also, it's just...so politically incorrect. Gretchen?

They're back!
