on chilly, rainy days like today my favorite thing to do is put on my jams, make peppermint hot chocolate and get on the couch with one or both of my favorite all time shows:
arrested development
and freaks and geeks.
anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that i can recite nearly every line from every episode of arrested development. someone asked me who my favorite character from ad is... it's a total toss-up between tobias and gob.
(analrapist/leather daddy/never-nude)
i also have the most ginormous crush on jason batemen. he's so cute. except not when he's a creepy weird-o ass in juno.
like too many amazing shows, arrested development aired on fox for only 3 seasons... we've been hearing about a movie version forever but who knows if that will happen... arrested development won 6 emmys and was nominated at least 20 times.
arrested development also got some pretty awesome guest stars over the few short years:
jane lynch (my favorite), charlize theron, scott baio, liza, judy greer, julia louis-dreyfus, heather graham, christine taylor...and ron howard narrated the series and appeared in the series finale, 'development arrested.'
freaks and geeks is a judd apatow produced comedy-drama. even more of a bummer than ad - freaks and geeks completed 18 episodes but was canceled after only 12 aired. fans flooded nbc, requesting to see the final 6 episodes - which they finally did show in 2000. both arrested development and freaks and geeks were on TIME magazine's top 100 shows of all-TIME.
it's easy to see that judd apatow was involved with this show - his movies have starred seth rogen, james franco and jason segel - all characters in freaks and geeks. the show takes place in michigan in 1980-81. it's so great. please watch it if you like things that are awesome.
iloveyou.
